Can I open/import *.cdr (Corel Draw Vector drawing file) files in Inkscape?
You may import/open/read/export/recover .cdr files due to following software http://www.coreldraw.fixtoolbox.com program works with CorelDraw 10, 11, 12, X3, X4 and X5 formats files
You can use the UniConvertor for converting CDR and some other formats to SVG. In Inkscape 0.46, there’s an input extension that will allow you to open or import CDR files directly from Inkscape if you have UniConvertor installed on your system. If you can’t run UniConvertor, you can try this workaround: • Open CDR file Corel Draw. Save it as binary encoded CGM* file. It will save only vector graphics. It will not save bitmap graphics. • Open CGM file in OpenOffice Impress. Copy to Open Office Draw and insert original JPG or another bitmap graphics. Save file as ODG And you can continue in Open Office Draw program.) • Select all (CTRL+A) • Export as SVG. • Open SVG file in Inkscape and correct mistakes if they appear. • Note: OpenOffice will open only binary encoded CGM files in Impress. If the CGM is encoded using clear-text encoding, it will be opened in OpenOfice Writer, thus rendering the next steps invalid.
