Accessing content


CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 provides a
content library that contains clipart, fonts,
photos, frames, pattern fills, and more. You
can add the library to your computer during
product installation to ensure fast and easy
access to content from Corel CONNECT,
CorelDRAW, and Corel PHOTO-PAINT. The
library is copied to the Public\Public
Documents\Corel\Content X6 folder.
Alternatively, you can access the version X6
library from the product DVD.


To access clipart and other content included on
a CD or DVD from a previous version of the
software, you need to insert the CD or DVD, or
browse to the folder where you store the
content.


You can also find content on the Web sites of
online content providers such as Flickr, Fotolia,
and iStockphoto.


To access a content library provided by
Corel on a CD or DVD, insert the CD or
DVD. The library appears in the Libraries
pane.

To activate access to local and online
content libraries, click the Configure
content libraries button in the
Libraries pane, and follow the instructions
in the Library setup dialog box.

Browsing and searching for


content


You can search by the name, category (for
example, clipart, photo images, or fonts), or
reference information (for example, tags or
notes) associated with a file. When you type a
term in the search box and start a search, all
matching files are displayed as thumbnail
images in the viewing pane. For example, if you
type “flower” in the search box, the application
filters out all files that do not match the search
term, and you see only the files that have the
word “flower” in the filename, category, or
tags assigned to the file. For information about
adding tags and reference information, see “To
add drawing information” in the CorelDRAW
Help and “To edit document properties” in the
Corel PHOTO-PAINT Help.

To browse for content, click a location in
the Libraries, Favorite folders, or
Folders pane. You can browse only one
location at a time.
