CorelDRAW Format | Corel | Vector Image Files |
The COR file extension is associated with CorelDRAW, a vector graphic application developed by Corel Corporation. This fully-featured drawing program is employed for creating logos, brochures, magazines, posters, and other designs that require a sharp level of detail and high resolution. A project or design stored in the COR format represents a single document that can be quickly modified and edited using the Corel application tools. Other programs such as Corel’s PHOTO-PAINT, PaintShop Pro, Inkscape, and Adobe Illustrator, can open this format but not in all cases.
Improved Features and Specifications
The COR file format has undergone several enhancements and improvements compared to older versions of CorelDRAW. Now it supports the latest graphic features including pressure-sensitive drawing tablets, touch input devices, and several animation effects. It also stores complex shapes created with diverse vector tools such as lines, curves, points, nodes, polygons, splines, 3D rotation, extrude curves and paths. Furthermore this file supports multiple layers per project which helps in editing component elements separately.
The COR type documents are related to other Corel's formats such as CDT, CG4, CMX, CDR, and VSDX. All support the same purpose but differ in their structures and features. For example, while the COR document offers high quality vector graphics up to version X8 of CorelDraw; the CDT (Corel Draw Template) offers a concise framework for creating documents and is used only within the software.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .COR) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .COR extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .COR file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .COR extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .COR extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .COR file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .COR file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .COR file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .COR file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .COR file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
