View 4 RepliesIs there a way to convert to curve (with handles)? I Ctrl+Q on a object, then it say convert to curve. But it's a bunch of segments. When I drag them they don't have curve handles, they don't curve. I have again to click on a segment, a * appear. Then click To curve in the property bar.
Can I just put curve handles in one shoot to all the segments of a object (ex a square)? Without to have to do all 4 segments one by one?

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).

I have tried opening the PDF with several different programs with the same result. I have also tried changing the PDF export settings but haven't had any luck.
I have this weird problem where some objects won't work like the usual. The original pic is like this,but when I see it in thumbnail in windows explorer, some objects are missing but they're still there when you open the file!
I marked the status bar, in those missing objects it says "Curve on Desktop" while other objects of corelDraw, no matter what kind of file, they're always written as "Curve on Layer 1".
And then when I Ctrl+G all the objects above in pic 1, all those objects with Curve on Layer 1 and Curve on Desktop, it becomes like this: I don't know what happened. When I made the shape in the 1st pic, I used old file with similar shape, I only edit the sizes & the colors, but previous File is just fine, only this one looks weird.
I used polyline to trace a tree trunk. I wanted it to be just a series of line segments which I was going to export to AutoCAD and then to Sketchup. However, each segment I drew said it was a curve. When I exported to AutoCAD it came in as a spline. If I convert that to lines, where I had maybe 10 lines there are now 100.
I also tried to 2 point line tool. I started each new line from the end of the previous. It gave me the same result.
Is there a way for me to end up with just the 10 line segments? No spline. No curve. Just 10 straight lines.
Can CorelDraw X4 calculate the length of a curve, meaning if I have an organic shape or curve, can it calculate the true length of the line if you follow the path. (think miles on a road)
I'm trying to estimate the time it would take a CNC machine to cut along an exported path.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI know this has been in Draw for a long while, but I wish they'd make the arrow tip start at the end of a curve.
steps to reproduce:
F7, draw a curve
draw a line
change both to have an arrow on one end
change both to 16px thickness so you can see the arrow position well
This problem comes up when I'm doing a detailed diagram and I've got my arrows going around all over the place. I need to tweek one so I convert to curve... but in doing so, the end of the arrow sticks out farther than it used to... and that forces me to change the postions and angles of possibly a few nodes.
I'd like the arrow to end at the node so there's no change in it's position when you do a convert to curves.
This is one of those... "that's not a bug, it's been around forever" type of things I know, but it should be changed IMHO.
I should mention that this is also a pain when you go in with the node edit tool when the line isn't selected and you can't see the nodes... you click around at the end, and eventually find it hiding in the center of the arrow/triangle part.
Is there any way of modifying the Curve Flyout menu such that the Bézier tool becomes the default? (rather than the Freehand tool which I seldom use? I can't see where to do this in the Customize dialog.

Why I created? I do a lot of graphics that need the top line of text to be curved. I can easily select the top line and press a button and the macro curves it upwards. If I need more curve I hold shift and run. If I need more or less curve still, I make the item in question, the text, larger or smaller. All done by eye and it's fast.

This has been a feature in CorelDraw for as long as I can remember so I'm hoping that buried in options or customize it can be changed.
When you draw a curved line, the nodes default to Symmetrical rather than Smooth. Symmetrical nodes adjust both sides of the curve when you move the node selection handles which I rarely use. Smooth allows you to adjust once side of the node without effecting the other but still maintaining an in line alignment.
if you can make nodes on a curve default to Smooth rather than Symmetrical?
I am struggling to make a small pattern go along and follow the curvature of a curve. Its shown below. The green dots and the dumbell shape are a group and need to follow the contour of the violet colored shape on its edges. So they have to look like they are following the curve. I have tried repeat patterns and so on but they do not follow the curvature of the edge/sketch.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the list of x,y coordinates for the CIE colour spectrum. How do I import the list so as to draw the spectrum curve?? The curve is the horseshoe shaped curve shown in the figure below [not the straight lines which are colours boundaries] that contains all the spectrum colours. Seems to me I should be able to import the list somehow and CorelDraw would then produce the line.

i am using Corel Draw X6 which is updated

Is there an automated way to have all the nodes in an (open) curve that are close to eachother to either join or connect with a line ?
"Auto close" dont offer settings and doesnt seem to do this
Any way to turn an object that has been used as a master (parent object) or its resulting clone back into a normal object?

Why is it that when in Draw save the tone curve settings it saves in a totally different directory? Then if I want to open that settings file it takes me somewhere else showing default styles/settings (*.crv)?
I made an elipse and changed it to arc.
Than I used artistic media tool to bold it but the arc get broken.
The arc I am talking abouth is Yelow. Red circle is showing a plece where arc get broken.
how to curve text within a shape, as paragraph text, not artistic text? (See my attached image.)
I have drawn the shape, inserted the text as paragraph text, but the text always wants to sit straight. I am so frustrated as I can find a workaround in either Corel or Adobe CS products. I have tried using artistic text in Corel, but have to do it line by line - and this brings other problems, such as I cant justify each line with each other, and sometimes a character jumps up relative to the other characters and the entire paragraph does not taper in...so this is not a solution, apart from the fact it will take me FOREVER to insert line by line....I would like to treat the text as a multiple line paragraph, and follow the shape.
I'm the IT manager at a rather large company which uses graphics quite often. Currently, our art staff uses CorelDraw x3 & x4. Most of what they work with is CDR & EPS files but occasionally PLT as well..
I have looked all over Google for a program that will display a CDR file, but cannot find a good one. A found a couple that will display the thumbnail, but not much else. I wouldn't mind that, but it's not legible on most images.
What we are looking for is an app to install on our reps machines so that they can view these files with a customer.

Is there a easier way to clean up this image, I have been going through and deleting nodes and moving some. I am still learning but there has to be a better way.
I want to use an image I have imported to Coreldraw x5 as a reference picture to trace around.
I am not sure how to dim the opacity of the reference image so that It is easier to to trace around.
I've been using Photopaint 12 for years. This seems like it should be very simple to do, but I've never found a really quick way.
All I want to do is put a single colour 1 or 2 pixel border around a load of images. I don't mind if it is inside or outside the existing image size (the choice would be nice).
I know I can simply draw an unfilled rectangle, but it's easy to drag the shape outside the edges of the image, or to end up a few pixels in, and it's quite time consuming doing it manually.
Is there a way to tile one of my own images? I want to make a 6x6 image into a 12x12 image so it reproduces a blend of that image 4 times, rather than having 4 images with visible edges.
It was something I could do in PSP years ago when I used it.
I am trying to put a client's qr code png on a file I am creating for them. It seems to be a regular png file, but when I try to import or paste in either CD or PP all I get is a black square.
What is strange is I can open this same png with Intraview no problem, I can copy and paste it into Word with no problem, I can open it in Adobe PHotoshop Elements without a problem. I also can open and view it in Windows Live Photo Gallery. It is just in CorelDraw X5 that I am experiencing the problem.
I am trying to export an image to PNG, tried watching the videos here but it doesnt seem to work, im still getting the white background. I have corel graphics suite 11
