CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: Select Object Under Artistic Media Brush Object
Sep 17, 2011
have to select an object under an artistic media brush object. i try hold down alt key when select the object under the artistic media object but it select the second object
Draw just crashed as I was selecting different artistic media for the background of an image.I had opened the file by double clicking it... it was just the start of a simple rollover which just contained text and a squiggle with an arrow property at one end of the squiggle.
The foreground and squiggle are in the foreground on a layer. it has a linear gradient fill. going sideways. The text is a custom true type font called "Comic Book Commando" which I haven't had any trouble with.
In a separate layer, I had a simple short horizontal line that I was trying out different artistic media with. It's just a swipe that's pretty much horizontal. I laid it down with the "Artistic Media" brush that I selected from the toolbar which I have parked at the left vertically.I had the horizontal line selected with the regular picker tool. I have the artistic docker open on the right side beside the line of colours palette at the far right of the window.
I clicked on each artistic media types all the way down the list... and along the way I made 4 duplicates of the simple line and put them into separate layers that I then turned off the visibility and turned off the printing.
At the point Draw crashed, I had the simple line selected, and I clicked on the last of the paintbrush style artistic media from the docker (the ones with the paintbrush icon beside them)... crash.
The drawing is very simple. Basically, I was just going through the different artistic media options. I had a pdf open, a file explorer, and one IE browser window... none of these other programs were doing anything 'active' at the time.
I create some curves with freehand or 3point curve or else (image on the left). Then I use the artistic media docker to convert it to artistic media. But the artistic media fill is empty.
So I right click on black to fill it, but it fill between the first and last node (image right). Weird.

I have been trying to make an Artistic Media Spray spray of three images and when I apply them to a shape, I get mess. I can do it fine with one image but when I try to use a few image it doesn't work. I have looked for a tutor and not having any luck.
When I go to change the thickness of an artistic media stroke, it jumps up from .045 to .095 or down to 0.3, or similar sorts of jumps in either direction, when I want to make finer adjustments than that. I'm surprised that a program that has so many options and precise ways of doing things wouldn't allow that. Is there no way to accomplish that?
Can you apply tranparency to a stroke made by artistic media? his seems like it should be possible... I've been told to use the transparency tool for my type of transparency needs... but I can't find a way to get this to work. It would be handy... in PS, you just adjust the transparency slider for the object or layer. In Draw, how is this done specifically for an artistic media brush stroke?
I select an object, then I select the Relative to object button:in the Property Bar, the X and Y aren't in 0.0 ".I have to deselect and reselect again the object and after that X and Y are ok.Same thing if I deactivate the Relative to object button:the X and Y show me 0.0 ".I have to deselect and reselect again the object and after that X and Y show me the real page's coordinate.
is it possible to display dimensions when you select the object (Appeared inside the object ).
As because i have to look for the property bar again and again for the dimensions since my eyes are soring as it appears in very less size. If it appears the inside the object with appealing big size, then it could be easier for the user to note the size instantly despite of observing the property bar.
Is there a way to select all the object over several pages then run a artist media? I am working on Valentine day and have single line letters over 26 pages. I select a letter then apply an spray of hearts I made to the each letters. I a lot of these do and thought it was worth asking if there was a way to select all object curves. There is nothing on the file but object curves of abc letters.
Is there a way to exclude single attributes from being defined in a object style? As example: i want to define an outline that does not change width of the objects, but everything else.
There is a small tick box right of every attribute with help text "None this object attribute is not defined by a custom style" but i can not mark it. My feeling is, that i need to switch on this tick box to get the result i need, but i can not. When i click on it, it just gives me a greyed out "Revert". When i try to make child styles, there is a way to break the connection to parent style with these tick boxes, but no luck.
I need to find a way to cut the shape of one object out of another object. In the above photo I need to be able to print the black crosses without the printer printing the white ink under them (you can see where the black ink is not adhering to the white ink very well).
1. find the attached “Rays on Oval.png” file. (Tried attaching .cdr file but the File Size is 400KB.)
2. I would like to Repeat / Duplicate that Black Color on Outer Path of Oval Shape. (Like shown in the Yellow versus Black. The Yellow is a Circle and the Black is from Star Tool)
3. I think the Best Bet would be to Link the Rays to the Outer Path of Oval Shape.
4. I need the Rays and Oval as 2 Different Objects so that I could Change the Color Scheme.
I have a logo which appears in the footers of all of our technical manuals. Word recognizes it as a picture, and so our printer prints it in color, not black and white, so we are charged for the color copies.
I have exhausted my options in Word, and have been trying to create it as a TrueType font in DRAW, so word just thinks it's a symbol, not a picture.
The only file I have of the logo is a .bmp, so I've been tracing it to get it into vector form to manipulate. However, after all of my welding, combining, front minus back ect. ect. ect., I still can't get it down to the "1 object" requirement to make it a font.
I wish to align a text like this at an oval shape. The field of the text body does align at all - which I can understand. Using the grafic text, it aligns directly on/ over the outline of the oval shape. But I won't have the whole text in a round - I just want to have the paragraph's left side to be aligned/ positioned at the outer shape of the oval.
Is there a reason why the radius of curvature at the corners of an object is not maintained when you either stretch it or shrink it? Is there a way around it without having to redraw and reset the radius?
I have a background image with Linear transparency applied on the top of my image. I would like to replicate the same transparency on the bottom of the image. How can I do this?
Im trying to cut out the centre of the letter R below. Normally I break curve apart, select the centre, and trim it from the outer. I can then select the centre piece and remove it. As you can see, this has worked with the letters P & O. When I do it with the R it seems to have worked, to the point where I can even select the centre and remove it, but when I put it back over a coloured background, it is still white.
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.
I know how to use the transparency tool to make and object partially transparent but is there someway to make an entire object transparent so that what you put behind the object shows through? I am using the symbol of our logo and want to put pictures behind it so that they show though.
when I click on an object from the object manager... then I want it at the top of my drawing
so I hit Shift+PageUp
(or Ctrl+PageUp)
instead of working... it takes me to "Page 1" at the top of the object manager
HOWEVER, if I click on the thing from the canvas, it works...
this is a silly bug... the whole point of me selecting it from the object manager is so I don't have to hunt for it... because it's UNDER some other stuff.
... that's why I want it shifted to the top of the layer.
As far as I know this problem is reproducible... I'm using a circle and it's under a bunch of stuff like rectangles. I can be more specific if necessary, but it's pretty basic.
