How can I resize multiple (236) circles about their own centerpoints without resizing them each by each?
I´dd like to increase radius about 2-5%.
I'm currently sitting with the following problem in CorelDraw 11:
I have four circles, one inside the other, with the circles getting smaller towards the centre. I want the two outer circles to be joined and the two inner circles to be joined. Text will be placed on top of these circles and I want to cut out those sections of the circle which will be covered by the text. The circles will also be filled with different colours. Simply placing the text on top of the 'rings' is not an option as the there are also two logos on the right which cover part of the circle (the part which I want to 'cut' out).
I've tried Combine and the Knife tool but somehow I just don't seem to achieve my goal. This would be a lot easier to explain if I could upload a PDF of the image.
I have a quick question corel X5, I have a design made of several .4 inch circles, I wonder if there is a way to resize all the circles to .6 inch ( i am trying to avoid to resize manually each circle )

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create dotted lines that are actually circles and not square shaped dots (the given option in the outline menu). Is the best/only way to do this by creating a new Artistic Media Brush? It seems like there should be an easier option when needing to create a long dotted line or a shape with a dotted outline.

So - I make the circle into a pie, and with the node editing tool, drag the nodes around until I see the little info text go from edge to "node" where it snaps on the nope of the line.
Before I start this, the lines are perfectly tangent. When complete, the lines are no longer tangent and the circle is shifted upwards, and is moved off the perfect tangent by different amount for each line. I can see a difference at 3200% and 11000% zoom at 0.5 point lines.
This occurs if I rotate the circle, or make the circle into an arc also.
It seems that when the circle is drawn, the center point about which its rotated, and from where the arcs/pies are drawn is not exactly center. This is happening when I manually rotate it. It I rotate it giving it a specific degree in the properties bar across the top, it rotates fine. For instance, repeating this again, the arcs of the circle is below one line, and above the other live by a lesser degree.
Working with scientific figures containing circles, squares, etc in CS4. How can I resize many circles to be 1.5 by 1.5 mm, for example, after they have been skewed a bit to make the entire graph the same size as adjacent figures? In other words, I import the graph from elsewhere and to touch it up I have to resize it a bit. Resizing the whole figure distorts the circle to an ellipse and I want to turn it back into a circle. Takes too long to select each shape and indicate the size.

(Rather than editing the contents or extracting the contents and then resizing the container).
I'm trying to find a way to do this:
Make an object (eg an hexagon), and resize it from it's center radially, by dragging a node (and not those black squares). What I got so far, is, using the pick tool, clicking on it to go to rotation mode, hold shift and ctrl, clicking on a node (eg, from a point or the middle of a side), and dragging it.
It works IF i change it's angle, but strangely, if I keep the same angle (just resizing it), nothing happens, neither it gets resized, neither i can clone it (with right mouse click). It only keeps a blue shadow of what would be the object, without doing nothing.
What I want to do with this is, for example, create a square and an hexagon inside it, allign one of it nodes with a node of the square, and resize the hexagon by draggin another node of it until it touch (using snap to objects) another side/node of the square. As I said, it can be done if I resize by the rotation, but only if I change the angle, wich is strange for me.
Am I missing something? It's really weird that I can almost do this without problems, but then nothing happens at all. I wish I could show this visually, would be way better to explain the problem.
When I open a new file, my default is an 8.5" x 11" page. When I resize it for an order, the view is staying at the 100% view, yet the same operation in version 11 gives me a view as if I had entered the standard CTRL + F4.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe do a lot of artwork for screenprinting that needs to generally be 11" tall for adult shirts and 9" tall for kids sizes.
I recorded a macro that basically copies everything on the 11" page onto a new page, pastes the graphic and then resizes it to 9" tall. The problem is that when it resizes, it doesn't seem to keep the proportions.
For example, if I have a circle that is 11"x11" and use my macro, I would expect it to be resized to 9"x9"
Instead, after using my macro, the circle is resized to 9" tall by 8.36" wide.
Did I make a mistake somewhere when recording this macro? I'm not a pro at deciphering macro scripts so I've attached it here:
Sub Kids_Size() ' Recorded 6/30/2011 ActivePage.Shapes.All.CreateSelection ActiveSelection.Copy Dim p1 As Page Set p1 = ActiveDocument.InsertPagesEx(1, False, ActivePage.Index, 11#, 17#) p1.Layers("Layer 1").Paste Dim Paste1 As ShapeRange Set Paste1 = ActiveSelectionRange ActiveDocument.ReferencePoint = cdrCenter Paste1.SetSize 8.360346, 8.999996End Sub
I have this script that basically makes a shape expand by adding an outline, conveting the outline to an object, and then welding the whole thing together.
I have the script set to execute with hotkey ctrl+numpad+
The odd thing is, when I run it once, it seems to work fine and only one object is left, but when I hold down ctrl and press numoad+ over and over again, it seems to produce a new copy of the object everytime.
I'm not sure why this is happening, but I need to get it to stop.

I have a series of images that have been designed - very basic shapes (a straight vertical line with a ball on top in which ascending numbers are placed in each one. So effectively each image is made up of 3 seperate parts and look like numbered lollipops. Each of these images are currently evenly spaced apart and formatted so the text is all properly aligned and sized etc - I would like to be able to copy certain groups of these images and paste them into a new working document which is fine, but I then need to somehow re-space them out to scale once they've been pasted in. So for example i have copied them in and they are 20mm apart to each other (as per my original drawing that i copied from) - is there a way of then altering this spacing so that for example so that they are all 33mm apart but still retail the original formatting properties so they are not stretched etc?

I can't seem to select more than one text object at a time.....
I will select a paragraph or artistic text object, press and hold shift, and then continue selecting text objects. Nothing happens.... well, it seems to be 'thinking' but nothing ever happens until I release the shift key and then only the last object selected gets highlited.
I have been trying to import a 28 page pdf file into corel and instead of it separating it is staying on one page.
Is there a setting a need to change so it separates each page,
I find it extremely annoying to have to Ungroup named groups and then regroup and rename them in order to do a multiple selection of group members. I find I'm constantly ungrouping and regrouping in order to select/edit.
Note that the multiple items are often not the same type of object (e.g., text, line, shape, etc.).
If I open a 4-page PDF in CorelDraw, I can edit anything in it. But if I save my changes, it saves as a 4-page cdr file. But I want to save the changes to the PDF. Is the only way to save the changes to the pdf file to re-publish the whole 4 pages to PDF again and have it replace the old one when asked? Wouldn't this further compress any jpgs?
Re-publishing the whole thing and changing the settings to no compression (and remembering to reset them back again later!) seems very inefficient......The question, of course applies to single page pdf's as well, but I'm thinking of deleting or adding a page or changing page order.

A customer brought me some DWG plans, five files' worth. He wants pricing on cutting it out of wood. The cutting part won't take long, but fixing the file will. I could see that there were multiple lines because some lines were thicker.When I select one of the thicker lines and delete it, it's gone. So I knew there wasn't a second line below it. Then I tried Ctrl-K, to break apart the curve. Wow, some of the lines had 23 copies! So I would hold Ctrl, de-select one of the lines, then hit the Delete key to erase the other 22. This will take a lot of time to clean up like this. Do you know of an easier way to remove these excess curves?

I have a document with multiple pages. I need each page saved as a separate JPEG file.
I can do this by exporting each page individually, but this is painful - I have 29 pages to export.
Is there any way to export all pages in one step? I would like the JPEG files to be created with the page name as the file name.
