View Full Version : Corel Object line Colors not showing on the RDWorks screen

RDWorks 1.18

Problem - I create several objects using a different line color for each object. I send the objects to RDWorks via the Corel plug in and the lines for the objects all show up on the RWWorks screen as "black lines".

There is one exception; in Corel when I place a red "perimeter line" around all the objects, that line will be red on the RDWorks screen when I use the Corel plug in to send the file to RDWorks.

I've never had this problem before, therefore, I must have done something either in Corel or RDWorks that changes all the line colors to black when the file is sent to RDWorks using the Corel plug in.

Solutions?

Thank You,
Roger

Not an RDWorks user here, so just guessing. Are you using the RGB color palette, or CMYK? It's likely that if the colors aren't an exact match for the colors that RDWorks is expecting, it may default back to black.

Steve,

I appreciate the reply but I don't believe that is the solution as I have sent other files that had colors that were both RGB and CMYD and the lines retained the colors assigned to those lines in Corel when the file was sent to RDWorks

My inclination is that what is happening is due to a change I inadvertently made in either Corel or RDWorks, I just not able to find it.

Thank You,
Roger
