If you have CorelDraw, you can save files in DXF format, whether they be text or vector drawings. These are only 2-dimensional, but can be extruded to 3D in a program like Rhino or the like. Corel 7 had a program bundled with it to do just this, but was discontinued with the release of version 8. I don't know offhand whether the Mac version also had this file format as a Save option. By the way, that DXF option in Corel really works great for any CAD-type work. I do lots of architectural renderings that way, and by saving the CorelDraw file as DXF then extruding it in Rhino, it allows me to build full models direct from the blueprints, & check any building flaws that aren't apparent. But I digress...
