Importing and exporting workspaces

You can import custom workspaces created on other computers or in other versions of the application (back to version X6). When importing a workspace, you can select which workspace elements to import. For example, you can import docker settings and position, but you can discard application settings such as startup options. You can also import the selected workspace elements into the current workspace or into a new workspace. You can base the new workspace on one of the available workspaces, and you can give it a name and description.

You can also export the workspaces that you create to share them with others.

To import a workspace Back to Top

 

Type a name in the Name box.

Choose a workspace from the Base on list box.

The imported workspace elements will be merged with the base workspace.

Type a description in the Description box.

*

Any new features that were not available when the workspace was created are added to the imported workspace. The new features may not be in the same location as they appear in the default workspace.

Custom icons may not be scaled properly in imported workspaces created in versions X6 and X7.

To export a workspace Back to Top

*

The workspace items available for export are dockers, toolbars (including the property bar and toolbox), menus, and shortcut keys.

A workspace is exported as a .cdws file.

Some features described in the Help are not included in this version of the product, and are available only in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2018.
