Installing Corel Draw Plugin
Posted: Sat Mar 30, 2019
I found a lot of stuff on this in the old FAQ- no idea of the accuracy, perhaps something will be useful?
To install RDWorks v8.01.19 plugin to Corel Draw X8.
Before installing RDWorks plugin you must first create this folder
C:\Program Files\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8\Draw\GMS
otherwise the plugin installation will fail.
When you install RDWorks, Choose CorelDraw from the drop down menu and click "Install".
It will install RDWorks into a subfolder inside CorelDraw. You will then have a small green button to send to RDWorks on the menu bar.

I run Corel 64bit and rdworks without issue. the link below is a video that gives a step by step process to load RDWORKS with corel - it assumes rdworks was installed in advance of corel and out how to remove ALL the stray bits

C:\Program Files\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8\Draw\GMS
Appears to be working fine on X64

One thing to note ....
If you already had rdworks installed and then go through the process of uninstalling to reinstall the corel plugin ....
BACKUP your parameter library
I didn't and lost it, not sure what files need backed up but CHECK first .......
