Restoring Defaults in Corel Draw

Monday, June 20, 2005

I am going to start a new job next week, which will involve using Corel Draw as a main tool. I resolved to start re-familiarize myself with this software.

When I opened Corel Draw (11) on my computer, some of my menus disappeared and other settings have either changed or are lost.

I did find a solution, which I am posting for all today.

Solution:

Hold down the F8 key.
Launch CorelDraw in the usual way. After a few seconds the dialogue box below will appear.

Click the "Yes" button.

Corel will then start with all the menus, tools, etc. looking the way they did when you first installed the program.

About me

I'm Fernando Salgado From Whitby, Ontario, Canada I work at a consulting company as a Structural technologist, where I use AutoCAD daily. I have used AutoCAD, off and on for about 10 years, starting with the R14 version up until the current version. I like learning new tricks, sharing my knowledge and involving myself in the "CAD" community. I've also ventured into the web design field, with my own company Chimera for a number of years. On a personal note, I was born in Mozambique, lived in Portugal from the age of three, where I studied land surveying and engineering. In 2000, I moved to Canada, where I pursued web design and it wasn't until 2004 that I went into drafting again. I'm mostly self-taught AutoCAD and make it a hobby to collect as many books on the subject as possible.
