I am having a problem. I export this hollow leaf to PLT, and when I open up the PLT file it is filled.

How do I get rid of the filling?

You probably had some fill color set. There are also choices for fill in the PLT export filter. Even a white fill will be filled. Select the object, leaf, then left click on the X in the color pallet. It will then export as an outline only. (Unless you have no color for the outline.)

Thanks.

I never did notice that x.

However, now I have a different problem, When I import it again, the line is broken into a number of looped (closed) segments!!??

Attachment is in Corel 9

Try going into the 'Advanced' tab and making sure everything is unchecked.

If that does not work then it may be the graphic. I usually convert text to curves first, but do not remember why. Maybe that is the reason.

I unlocked the curve, set the fill to 'X' and the outline to black, exported with all 'Advanced' unchecked and it came in perfect. Corel 9. Maybe a version problem?

I cant beleive that you you woke up so earlly in the morning to help me!!

I took your file and exported again and the same thing happened.
The bottom left is your leaf and the right side is waht I exported to PLT
and imported again!!??

Why does this happen to me?

It may be a bug in X3. Some things that I have tried to do in PLT with X3 do not work right. The export filter is buggy.

The file I posted has the item I exported and imported as a vector so you may be able to use it.

If not here is the PLT file that I exported then imported.

I had a project that I could not combine the items in 9 because they went over 64K. I could combine them in X3 but the PLT export was totally bad. I had to combine them in X3, save as 9, then export it to PLT there. I keep both versions on my computer due to those bugs.

I am still having this problem.
I also have this problem when I use Corel 10 or export to .eps.

I finally export this to .DXF, import it into Corel x3 and then it exports well to PLT,

Does anybody have an idea what is wrong??

Do I have a wrong setting?

Thanks for all your help.

I just solved the problem

I went to the outline tool and made the line thicker. It now exports beautifully
