From Corel to KNK In a Flash!
 May 19th, 2008 by Sandy McCauley

Before I get to today’s topic, note that I added a subscribing link to the right side menu for anyone wanting to be notified about new posts here. :)

Okay… anyone out there use Corel Draw? Well there’s a real cool tie-in between this program and KNK Studio where you can transfer images in a click! First you’ll need to down a small executable file from CADLink called the Corel to Sign Lab Patch. Here’s a link and note that you’ll need to register, but it only takes a moment:

Once you have the file saved to your hard drive, run it and make sure you browse to your Klic-N-Kut Studio folder if it’s not automatically selected. That would normally be c:/Klic-N-Kut Studio (or it may have Element or GE after Studio).

Then, once that’s done, open up Corel and KNK Studio. Open your Corel file or design your images and select them. Then click on the Rocket icon on the upper task bar as shown in this figure:

A drop down menu will appear. Select the last option (CorelDRAW to Klic-N-Kut):

Your KNK Studio window will immediately pop up and you will see the “L” cursor, indicating you have something to paste into your document area. Simply left click once and the images from Corel Draw will be pasted into KNK Studio:

    Thank you Sandy
    It works great with CorelDrawx3 (another great version from CorelDraw)
    Note it will not work in version x4
    but on the site they have a patch for version 11

    love you blog Sandy and the index in the sidebar is great and easy to look up topics

    Oh no! I was so excited to find this as I just received my new KNK and I am accustomed to using Coreldraw… my “oh no” is because the “create new account” link on the CADLink site doesn’t work! It produces an error so I can’t download the patch to try this… any hints as to where else it can be found?

    I’ll go grab it for you! : ) Watch for it in your email. Or if it’s big, I’ll put it up on my server.
