In Coreldraw 12, I often use combine to end up with a one solid shape with many holes in it. Often I want to add a color inside one of the holes, much like a coloring book, but there is no shape there, it is just empty. What is the quickest way to create a solid that fills that hole exactly?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to find the best way to fill a shape with other shapes( a with a specific size), without overlaping, like the example below.
My main concerns are the spacing between the circles, the positioning should be as paralel to the the outside shapes as possible, and the size of the circles ( or any other necessary shape).
I'm doing this by hand sometimes with 900 circles. is there a fast way to this? do you know any macro/plugin to make the task easier?
I am not a power user but have used CorelDraw since ver 8. My question is why I cannot fill shapes like the one provided whether I create them in Draw, or import them as dwg or dxf into Draw. It's interesting that I can fill this shape in DesignCad (the source of the dwg-dxf files) but not in Corel. Of course, the project I'm working on needs the other touches that Draw provides and DesignCad doesn't.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working with drawings that have (for example) 1,000 little circles with diameter 1.5mm. I'd like to resize all of them to, say, 2.0mm but I don't want to scale them as this will affect their distance from each other.
Macros: I have tried recording the adjustments on one object but I'm unable to run the macro on another - the macro errors out.

Here is a free macro which saves a little time. It creates an inner shadow on one or more selected shapes. There are a few presets on the macro and if you want to adjust the transparency slightly, click the undo arrow, adjust the transparency and then reapply.
I am writing a C# (.Net) app to auto create a CorelDraw document, by copying and pasting shapes from a document containing master copies of shapes, into a new document.
I have a simple VBA script that does this. And now I am trying to convert it to C# but I cannot get it to find the shapes from the Shapes array of the layer in the master document.
i keep getting error "Argument out of range". The code is: string myShapeName = "round_green";
CorelDRAW.Shape myShape = masterDoc.Pages[0].Layers["Images"].Shapes[myShape];
The pages and layers arrays work (return the correct object). I seem to recall someone saying there was an issue with the COM objects returned by the Shapes array. But in this case the error indicates the issue is with the indexer passed in - I have tried an integer (0) and a variable containing a string and neither work.
So I am trying to use "fill hole" for this empty space on my mesh but it isn't working. I know I can figure out another solution to this problem but I want to know why it won't work.
First of all, when I double click the edge around the hole it doesn't just select the hole, it selects a huge ring that goes around the whole head for some reason (I'm attaching a picture).
Then when I select the edges around the hole one by one and select "fill hole" nothing happens and I get a message at the bottom of the screen that says "polycloseborder2" (I am also including a pic of this).
I'd like to enter a value to space two shapes but use the currently set worldscale. How can I do this?
I'll be using a architectural scale such as 3/8" = 1'-0" and such.
= Round(txtScaleDen.Value / 144)
Call setDocScaleCheckbox(chkUseDocScale.Value, userWorldScale)
I hate pressing F8 at startup!

I have followed the instructions carefully and am unable to fill anything.
I make a rectangle. Choose the colour from the palette, drag the little coloured box over to the rectangle and release. Nothing. Many years ago I used my brothers Corel draw, so I know ( or knew then ) how to colour a rectangle.
Is it possible to generate a group of shapes with different size randomly in corelDraw macro? For example I want to generate 100 squares with different size and distribute them into the sheet automatically.

A document with many artistic text line. Downsaved as version 12. Some lines get converted to curves, some don't.
All lines same font, same point size. Using macro to save. Saving manually has prompt to keep as editable.
Still on the basics, here's a demo video that includes adding a macro form and sizing of some selected shapes. I had fun doing this one but it's hard trying to squeeze everything into a short video (to keep video file size low).

Is there a good way to assign grid node coordinates, other then free hand(I couldn't find a display for node coordinates) . Could you use a cad program, that displays a numeric coordinate for nodes to do the bulk of the grid work and tune it up or add different elements to cad drawing or use cad to do this type of drawing. I have a copy of "Turbo Cad" I have not used yet and was wondering how the different programs compared? I was trying to use the drawing grid guide, but the mesh fill grid lays on top of it and is opaque and and I couldn't use it well inside the mesh fill. I guess I could draw a transparent grid guide and lay it on top of the mesh fill, in a separate layer and lock it down
Is there some kind of guide or document on color placement and the relationship to grid line spacing, node placement and node handle angle and length.
I just upgraded to X5 the other day and started working with it. All seemed pretty normal until I drew a rectangle with a hairline and no fill. I typed in some text and went to click off of it to start a separate line of text only to find out when clicking inside this shape, and any other shape I made, it would select the shape.

View 3 Replies View RelatedTexture fill and a printing problem. They may be related. First, the file I am working with was originally created in Corel 10. I'm using X6 in Windows 8.
It is a map. I have several layers but the two layers I am having trouble with are the continental shelf and the land layers.
I cannot texture fill either in X6. I go through all the steps but the fill will not show on the screen nor will it print. I can fountain fill, solid fill etc .these layers and they will print as filled. This is the same for both printers I have, which are also new with 128MB of memory each.
In addition, I can get a fountain fill to print on the continental shelf layer, but cannot get a fountain fill to print on the land layer; even though the fill shows on the screen. I can get a solid fill to print on the land layer.
I've the objects in the proper order, the print is turned on for all these layers, etc.
I have discovered the Mesh Fill tool. I am having a lot fun playing around with it but can't seem to apply it to text.I have converted the text to curves but it just acts as a fill. Is there a way to use the Mesh Fill on Text?

I have created a curved line across my page using the Bezier tool. I need to fill the page below my curve to make it blue (and above the curve to stay white).
View 8 Replies View RelatedI want to make some letters and fill them with a background pattern like rainbow.
all the fonts are solid black so I need to know how to hollow them out so the background fill will show, then have to cut out all the letters to get the background around them removed so I have only the letters filled with rainbow that can then be moved around and overlaid like with the gray checkerboard squares thing happening.
Like this: imagine a rainbow backing picture with " I heart Mom" text overlaid, fill the " I heart Mom" with rainbow then get rid of the rest of the rainbow backing that is OUTSIDE the letters. The word heart will be replaced with a heart shape.
I would like to create a diagram like below and want to fill pattern similar to this.
