    Unwanted frame around JPG export

    Help.  I am a CorelDraw Newbie and am simply using the software to do 2 dimensional engineering board layouts.  The problem is I imported an Autocad drawing (with many layers), made changes to the visible layer and then exported the file as a JPG for publishing in a manual.  The problem is when exported, there is a thin, black frame around the whole drawing.  Basically, I don't want the frame.  I could live with it and just pull the JPG into Corel Paint or something like that and erase the line (if it is actually a line???)  bit it is cutting off the last letter on words on each end of the drawing.

    Could someone please tell me why this is happening and what I can do to get around the problem?  I have tried turning off all print icons in the Object Manager except the top layer so nothing exports but the top layer but that doesn't appear to make a difference.  I have also made the top layer invisible, made all other layers visible and then deleted any thing else that showed up on the page so there was nothing behind the top layer when I exported except what I wanted...still no luck.  If I print the file in Corel, its fine...no frame but I need it in a JPG format.

     Help!!!

    HI Jeff,

    Thanks.  That seems to work.  Of course it still doesn't tell me why what I imported from Autocad creates a frame automatically when I export it to a JPG but for right now I am happy that I have a solution.  Again, thanks!!!
