How to convert many Corel Draw files to bmp files without opening them

[bc4715]

I am trying to convert around 10,000 clipart images in .cdr (CorelDraw) format to .bmp format. It seems the only way I can do this is by opening each one and saving it as a .bmp file. Does anyone know how I can convert many files at the same time without opening them?

Any help appreciated, Phil

Not a straight answer fot what you are looking for, but here is a suggestion:

I don't know if CorelDraw has a similar feature to Photoshop Actions. In Photoshop you can record an action once and then you can automate a batch of images with the same recorded action. You can set it to save as a .bmp. It will have to open each image and the processing time depends on the size of the file. I do this a lot with some 6,000 images that I have.

Hope this helps,
