Jon...This is just a guess but if the AI files are in AI 8 or 9 format and you have a version of Corel that came out before those AI versions then it might not be able to open them. Where is this bee-line download stuff at? I'll try importing one with Corel 9 and see what happens. Obviously you have to be able to import the file before you can save it in CDR. format.

The black & white vinyl ready Bee-Line ArtProFile samples are saved in Illustrator 88 format, which is actually the most simplest Illustrator format. CorelDRAW, on the other hand, tries to make life difficult. When you import the samples with the "all file formats" as the type of format, Corel imports the EPS header by default. Change the "files of type" to either "AI" or "Postscript Interpreted".
You should now be able to import them with no problems. If you require more assistance, call us toll free at 1-877-262-3364. See us on the internet at www.beeline-clipart.com.

Jon: After unzipping the file, you will notice that they are in eps format. Open Corel and select the PRN format. Import the EPS files into Corel using this PRN as the file format. The files will open without any problem. Joe Gluchy
