CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: How To Create Curved Segment Node
Nov 11, 2012
Using pen tool I have to press Alt + click again at the node while drawing to create a cusp node.
My method is - Select Pen tool - left click for first node and drag to achieve desired curved segment - release mouse button - press again left click for second node at desired position and drag control handle to create desired curve - then Alt click at second node for cusp node - continue in this fashion for rest of the curved segments as shown in my example.
Is it possible to draw and edit control points for a cusp, smooth or symmetric node simultaneously in a single stretch while drawing curved segments with some other shortkey combinations but without pressing again S for smooth/symmetric or Alt click node for a cusp or F10 for edit later?

I'm working on upgrading my Node Manipulator macro. I have already added a few cool new features and a completely new form that saves space.
Here's a quick sneak preview..

in earlier versions of draw you could move one end of line with the pick tool by moving the cursor over the end node grabbing it and moving it where ever you wanted. With x5 it seems that you must go to the node editing tool to select the node. Is there a setting I'm missing that will allow the pick tool to select node?

I don't do a ton of node editing, but I've noticed that lately my node editing seems really jerky. I wrote it off as having large files utilizing lots of memory, but I don't think that's it. To test I closed Corel and all instances of it, restrated drew a rectangle and converted to curves. Then my node editing was smooth and fast. I doubled the nodes (now 8) and it was fine. doubled again(16 nodes) and that was the show stopper. I finally have it that at 9 nodes it is smooth mouse movements, at 10 it goes jerky. No big difference between 10 nodes and 3000 nodes. Same jerkyness when editing nodes.
I've turned off all "snap to" features.
I did recently change to using the HD output to my monitor, i haven't checked that as an issue. I'm using the video card on the motherboard (don't hate).
I went back to the default corel workspace and it's fine up to 1000s of nodes. I switched back and it's goes all haywire again.
I use the cross hair cursor I turned that off and WHAMO! it works now. (really it made that sound, trust me) When I go back to cross hair cursor it goes back to jerky. So verify that using the cross hair cursor screws up their node editing? Is there a way to use the cross hair for everything except node edits?

I recently had to buy a new computer and re-install CorelDraw X5. I've been using the software for about 3 years now to run a laser engraver, so I'm not new to dealing with vectors. For some reason though when I draw something like a square, click "convert to curves", then right click the segment I was to delete, the delete option is grayed out and the only thing I can do is add a node. I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong or if it's a setting somewhere they didn't get checked off when I installed the software.

I want all the angled segments to be converted to curves at one despite of selecting them each one and selecting the convert to curve command. It should avoid the horizontal & vertical lines and any angled ones should convert to curves.

i am redrawing an image and used guidelines to insure straight lines. the problem i am having is when i try to put a node on the intersecting lines, it jumps away from where i have placed it. i do not have any of the snap items turned on and am not using a grid in the background. Why will the nodes not go where they are being place? i have been using corel for years and have not had this problem before.

I seem to vaguely recall a method from some vector drawing program where you can press or hold ctrl or alt or shift and change the next type of node you will draw while using the bezier tool, or the pen tool, or the multi-line tool.
Is there any way to do this in 12, or use VBA to make it happen. I really just need to switch back and fourth between cusp and symmetrical.

I have been using Corel for over 20 years, and have never needed support. I do most of my work editing nodes within a drawing for creating continuous line patterns that are repeatable.
For years I have simple "nudged" the first and last point of a complex curve to the appropriate position. Now I want to simplify that by entering in the coordinates for the node.
I have tried Object Coordinates, but it appears to do nothing after I change the node location, or radically change my design. There is no documentation for it. I have searched Customize for some sort of input field to add to the toolbar with no luck.
I always have to add the information on the coordinates of the selected note to the Status Bar, so I am surprised that I can't find an option for editing the position.

I am creating a object that will involve creating tangent lines between two circles. Then, I will need to cut out the curves of the circles so the end shape is like an eggshell or the travel of a rope between two pulleys.
What I am doing, is creating the tangent lines, coloring them green (so I can see the end of the tangent line), making sure the line is arranged on top. Then selecting the circle and the node edit and adding a node where the tangent line ends at extreme magnification. Delete the unneeded nodes on the circles so it forms the "end shape." Then I select both objects, then the node editing tool, select both nodes (end of tangent line and node on end of former circle), and join the curves with the option that joins the curve over the space (this is the part that bugs me).
When I do this, I still notice a slight space between the tangent line and where I added the node to cut the circle. Is there anyway normally with x6, or with a macro, that can place the new node accurately? For instance, wherever the center-lines of the curves/lines meet/intersect?

A few months ago I upgraded my aging office workstation to a powerful new system running Windows 8 Professional. CorelDRAW X5 refused to install under Win 8 Pro so I had to upgrade to CorelDRAW X6.
Here's the issue: for the longest time, at least through 10 or more versions of CorelDRAW, it was very easy to align nodes. Just use the shape tool, manually shift+click nodes into the selection and the last node selected would stay locked in place. The other nodes would use the last node selected as the point of reference and align to it.
That doesn't work anymore in CorelDRAW X6.
Now, it doesn't matter which points were clicked first or last. The alignment function always uses the earliest point created in the path as the reference point. And that's just downright useless. I'm forced to drag out guides and snap the points to them -like I'm using an app released in 1990. It makes tasks like technical drawing more time consuming.
Is there some setting buried in Preferences that can restore this very basic but extremely valuable function?
BTW, rival app Adobe Illustrator had finally added controlled anchor point alignment in version CS3 or CS4 (I forget which), but it was a kludge to use -it required extra clicks on anchor points and wouldn't work half the time. The feature seems to be gone in CS6.

I'm trying to wrap an image around a curved object. This is a front elevation of a sign I am attempting to render and the sign wraps around a pole. What I am attempting to do is not just "squeeze" the copy but actually attempt to show what the image will look like if you are looking directly at it which means that the closest portion of the image will look normal but as you look further out towards the edges then the graphic and copy would appear to merge and disappear backwards. I hope I am explaining this well. I am trying to wrap my brain around this concept. I know you can do this in photoshop with stretching but cannot fathom how I can attempt this in CorelDraw or Illustrator.

So, I understand the Boundary feature. However, I was wondering if there is a way to have the Boundary trace the inner detail?
Example. I want to create a boundary of the doughnut hole; not the outside of the doughnut.

I'm interested in creating some variations in font sets or new font sets altogether. My fading recollection is that some of the earlier versions of DRAW may have had that option as a utility. I know that we had it here at some point, although it could possibly have been in the PageMaker package..

I need to outline this, and really don't want to have to trace the whole thing. What I have been doing with the rest of this persons design is duplicating it, getting just an outline by getting rid of whatever isn't needed. Making it a wide outline and then doing create outline to object, getting rid of extra inner lines, and then I have the outline (cut line) that I need. The computer is saying that this one is too much for it to do that.
I have to make it a tiny jpg in order to upload here. The original is made out of MANY lines, but I have a vectorized outline that fits it, but not an outline that is like 1/8 or 3/16 inches all the way around it. It is being cut out to go on vehicle doors, trailers, etc. The details are way too small to have it cut right up to it.
