Question
I work for a company that has many on top of many drawings of different parts that are used daily in creating installation instructions.These drawings were done using Corel. Some of the parts for example are like screws, nuts, cables and hoses.(automotive related) My question is : Is it possible to take drawings that were created in Corel and open them or transfer them over to any program in Adobe e.g. Indesign, Photoshop,or Illustrator. Thanks for your help in advance.

Answer
Hi Jason,

Corel drawings can be opened by Illustrator depending on what version you are using (ie. not an older one than your Corel). Photoshop can also open Corel Paint documents.

Here is a doc that will help you.
