Exporting to Corel Draw...options?

[Anonymous]

I was asked if I can export an Inventor drawing to Corel Draw. I am not familiar with what formats Corel Draw can open, nor do I know what type of Inventor drawing (IPT, IAM, etc) that is trying to be exported.

Can anyone tell me my options with this?

Thank you!

Ive done dxf out from inventor and It opens in Corel Draw.
I believe you need to drag and drop it in though, it was a while ago so I dont remember exactly how I did it. But it was a dxf file

You can also save files as jpegs now. It all depends on what you need to show.
Even print screen can get you what you want

You can import DXF successfully but make sure that when you export from
Inventor you export to model space not paper space. Also, depending on your
version of Corel Draw, you may need an earlier version of DXF.

Corel should also be able to import PDF files, so that
may be another option besides DXF if you have a PDF
printer setup. However, I ran some tests and was not
able to import or open PDF files created using CutePDF
but was able to import some that were probably created
directly with acrobat. Another option would be if you
could use a postscript printer, print to a file and then
Corel should be able to open/import the postscript file.
Postscript and PDF should be superior to dxf IMHO.

I use coreldraw 7. (A bit dated but it does what i need)
Corel will import dxf's and bmps...from an IDW
For assemblies:
I take an assembly into studio, and render on the highest setting, save as a jpg. (for file size)
