Bummer,
It used to work, but we are talking about several versions of Corel Draw (
maybe
even back to 3, or 4), and also older early Corel WP & P, just after Novell sold it to Corel. It was worth a try though. Thanks for the feedback, as I don’t have CDraw on any machine now, and all the old CDR files are from way, way back, and did open, last I checked.
It sure is difficult trying to keep up with all of the proprietary file formats.
OK, this won’t retain the vector properties, but one thing you can do if you have ThumbsPlus is create the thumbnails of the cdr images then right click a particular image and click Quick Process/Convert to and you’ll get lots of possibilities including png, jpg, bmp etc.

Wow, another use for ThumbsPlus. I knew I liked that program from the very beginning. Gotta’ get my v7 update today.
With the old WP conversion, you still had the vector data, though it was now in yet another format, WPG (WordPerfect Graphics), and some of the shapes often got combined, so editing was a real do-over chore. I guess that Corel decided that they were not selling enough CDraw packages, so they changed the format. All the old CDR stuff I have (back about v3) still goes through newer WP and WPP just fine, and since I haven’t used any newer CD releases, I doubt I’ll ever get into this mess. It is nice, however, to know that TPlus will help me out. Thanks.
