"Premium" member section? As in "paid" membership? I thought the idea of starting WOE was to make something that would be forever free, with all the benefits a paid membership somewhere else would have. So much for idealism, eh? The financial realities of having premium content in a forum seems to have hit home over there.

Since Laser Image asked at WOE and has yet to get an answer, I thought perhaps someone over here would know if they are the same tutorials that are available at EC.
Thanks for the reply,
Cutterfly

Cutterfly,
Before Ken changed the World of Engraving Forum from an all-free format to a pay-for-the-added-features format, it appeared that most of the content was gathered from existing resources elsewhere, with a few brief CorelDRAW tutorials created by Ken.
Without a response directly from the source, it will be hard to know whether the content continues in this same linked format or whether there are some World of Engraving exclusives being offered for the premium area.
It does take time and resources to generate a steady flow of fresh valuable content.

Your assumptions are wrong......I do have a life and didn't realize I had an obligation to answer your questions within minutes of your posting.
The new additions are a combination of exclusive and non exclusive material. As was mentioned earlier, several things we have already completed will be added the first part of January.

No you do not have a responsibility to even answer it at all.
That being said, on this forum you have a responsibility to answer it in a bit more courteous fashion.

Gary,
I'm a bit puzzled by your inclusion of "text" since those defaults seem to stick very well; the nudge/DupeOffsets are a bit contrary.
Corel continues to modify the way defaults work and there are differences in each major version and often a patch will make a slight change; I'll try to make a very generic response that I think will work with all modern versions of Corel (9-x3).
For most reliable results:
--- exit out of Corel
---reRun corel
---create new empty document
---make your changes in defaults as the tutorial suggests. Then
---Tools>Save SettingsAs Defaults
---Tools>Options>Document
-------Save Settings as Defaults for New Documents
------------check *all* boxes then OK
---Immediately exit out of Draw
While the above appears to have some duplication, there are a few defaults "registered" by one save and missed by the other. Also, at least one version (is it 10?) that doesn't even have the Tools>Save SettingsAs Defaults option.
As Harvey pointed out, most of these values are what Corel calls "docucentric," so if you open an earlier document the values that were present when it was saved will dominate.
Understand that the whole process is Save Settings as Defaults for *new* documents.
Harvey mentioned having problems with 9. These are some things that are known to mess up your carefully created defaults:
---Shutting down Corel with a multitude of files in memory.
---Crashing Corel.
---Having multiple instances of Corel in memory
The real gurus suggest that you export your Workspace [[Tools>Options>Workspace>Export...]]]. While this saves/restores most of your environment there are a few important ones it does not, so that is not a complete solution.
For us, the real value of exporting/importing workspaces is to get all PCs to have most of the same settings.

Roy,
thanks for the reply. It seems that it was the template I was opening - it had the font, nudge and duplicate values saved and was bringing them into the "new" document I created from that template.
I made the changes and saved the template with those changes and now everything is fine.
Thank you for your help with this and thank you for your tutorials!
Hopefully Jeanette told you how much I appreciated your merge tutorial and how well it worked for a slew of name badges and plaques I recently made.
Thanks,
Gary

Wow,
Thanks for the tutorials. Where can I find more free tutorials? These were great.

Shari,
Knowing dad, he'll put up more videos the next time he's asked a question that's easier answered with a video than with a phone discussion. Could be next week ... might be several months!
While certainly not free, I promise you'll get your money's worth if you buy the ARA 3-CD set that has many of those tutorial videos included. $69 for the set.

Do you have Flash player installed in your browser? If not, you might want to go to http://www.adobe.com and download and install the free Flash Player there.
I just tried the first link in her post and it worked fine for me, even though I did see a "ScreenCast Loading" image up there for a little while even after I could hear the tutorial start playing.

I'm not sure what the problem might be. I clicked on the links (in message 1) and they worked on my PC ... but maybe it's because I've run them before??
Obviously, I'm not the computer geek in our family business!
Perhaps someone else who's reading this could check to see if the links are working for them?
Alternatively, you could go to our website www.engravingconcepts.com -- click on Downloads -- click on Tutorials -- click on Flash Tutorials -- click on Flash CorelDRAW -- click on the video you want to view. Whew! That's a lot of clicking!
If it still doesn't work, let me know and I'll get the geeks on the case to figure it out.
