importing text from coreldraw to maya

Hi Robisho,

I think you must have followed a wrong link, this forum is for questions about Viewpoint Software. Viewpoint doesn't produce Corel Draw or Maya.

I know this forum does not really support Corel Draw questions, but what the hell. All you should have to do is export your Corel Draw graphic as an EPS (Encapsulated Post Script) or AI (Adobe Illistrator) file. I prefer using the EPS. There is more control over the export options. Just remember to export as curves and not text. Also, leave out any additional header info that may be exported.
Once done, just import the EPS or AI into Maya.
P.S. When exporting from any Vector package, most vector co-ordinates will go with the pic like absolute location within the work area and so on, so set your graphic or text in Corel to the far left and bottom of page before exporting, otherwise it could land up in ancumfortable or hard to find absolute location when importing into Maya...

Cheers
Niko
