I'm trying to export a CD drawing for use in Ventura Publisher. I'd like to have it in CGM format but when I export in this format some objects don't make it in the CGM file although they exist in the CDR file and screen preview shows them there. I normally use the EPS option but in this particular case the final document will not be printed on a PostScript printer. When I export in CGM format I select the Include All Artistic Attributes Option as the manual says. Are there known limitations with the CGM export format? Thanks in advance Costas

Costas, What we have found is that this most often happens if the fill on the object in question is white or none. Go into the custom outline menu and change the pen stretch to 99% for the outlines on these object. This seems to work. Corel

Thanks a lot. I'll try it and let you know. Costas

It worked! I changed the stretch to 99% and everything translated fine except for one ellipse which contained a radial fountain fill which translated as a round circle with a fountain fill superimposed over an ellipse with just an outline. But I can work around it. Thanks again. Costas
