Importing Images
Because FreeHand and CorelDRAW support different color spaces, CorelDRAW
bitmaps in the LAB color space are imported as empty text containers.
To accommodate cropping, bitmaps are defined by CorelDRAW as paste insides.
These paste inside attributes are retained on import.
CorelDRAW color masks are lost when files are imported.
EPS
EPS images placed into CDR files cannot be imported, only the TIFF headers will
translate. EPS images without TIFF headers appear as gray boxes containing the
EPS file names.
OLE
CorelDRAW OLE client objects are ignored when they are imported.
Pagination
FreeHand does not import objects on the CorelDRAW pasteboard, custom
CorelDRAW imposition, and ruler guides. Objects placed on facing pages may be
displaced.
Object dimensions may reflect a rounding error.
If the artwork contains a guides layer, FreeHand creates a background layer called
Corel Guides. Layers imported into FreeHand open in Preview mode and are set
to match the first page; page-specific layering is not supported.
Custom effects
FreeHand does not support Fisheye, Wireframe, Color Add, Color Limit, Heat
Map and Custom Color Map lenses. Unsupported lens effects import with 0%
lighten attribute.
For blends and extrudes, for optimal effect translation, select the option Save
Blends and Extrudes with the File to read intermediate steps and save them as a
group of static objects. When importing extruded objects, the basic objects are
preserved, but shading data is lost.
FreeHand does not support CorelDRAW perspective data, envelopes, distortion,
URL functions, or drop shadows.
