CorelDRAW X6 :: Creating Shapes Through Inverting Other Shapes

Nov 18, 2013

I drew something up on a sheet of paper, scanned it, then traced it's bitmap as line art. I then proceded to edit the vectors to recover all the detail I lost with the tracing. It took forever!

Now that I´m done, I realised there is a problem... how can I color in the drawing, if the lines themselves make up the shape? Essentially, I´m left with blank spaces in between all the lines instead of solid individual shapes that can be colored in.

What can I do? I´m so desperate I´m thinking of creating a gazillion individual shapes with the colors, and slapping them underneath the lines to "improv" a fill. But that will take waay too long, so is there an easier way?

If I could "invert" the shape I have now, so that the blank spaces become individual shapes, and the lines become blank spaces.

Xara :: Choose Nodes When Creating Shapes

May 9, 2012

I've been using the shape tool more and more at work and wonder... Is there a "preferred" or "best" way to choose nodes when creating shapes? Let's say we've got a french curl stencil that we want to make. Is it best to simply draw where the curves start and stop, or in the "center" of each curve as it bends?

EDIT: Perhaps a silhouette of a mickey mouse type ears + body would be a good example.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating Custom Linetypes With Shapes

Feb 25, 2013

I created a custom shape for a custom linetype. I had no problems making it and the linetypes worked perfectly in the drawing I created it in. However, when I tried to load the linetype into another drawing it said there was a bad definition in the line with the link to the shape file. When I tried to import the shape file into the drawing to look at it, it said that the shapefile has an invalid FIle Code number (707865649). Considering that I created it not ten minutes before I do not understand what the problem is. The real problem is that I have made many linetypes and all the ones with shapes are having the same problem.

After Effects :: Creating Shapes From Vector Layers (AI Files)

Mar 18, 2013

I am trying to make extrusions to an image.  I am new to Illustrator and have read that .ai files are the only ones that you can extrude in AE.  However when I bring in an .ai file and select create shape from vector layer, a grey square covers the shape.  I am assuming that it is a transparancy issue and it is just filling in the size of the .ai project.  I could be wrong though.

GIMP :: Creating Shapes In Sketchup And Exporting As 2D Images - Adjust Selection Borders

Sep 2, 2012

What I'm in the process of doing is creating shapes in Sketchup and exporting them as 2D images. Obviously, those images have a lot of "dead" space around them that I would like to reduce.

I'm able to select a rectangle selection tool and select my image, with the goal of pasting it into a new image which will have much less "white" space around it. My question, is there a more precise way of doing this? I need to cut out an even pixel space, for example, a 128 x 64 (both sides need to be even), how do I know what is the size I'm cutting out? And sometimes it's hard to do correctly do it with my mouse, is there a way to adjust the selection borders with the keyboard instead?

CorelDRAW X5 :: Converting Lines To Shapes?

Jan 19, 2012

I'm currently working with some vectorial cartoonish drawings, and while it's mostly quite easy, I'm having problems with disconnected lines. At the end of a disconnected line it needs to gradually get thinner and end in a small, rounded off point. It needs to to become thinner much slower than the normal rounded-off point, kind of a sharpenned edge effect.

So far the only method I could manage is making a shape instead of a line, but it's much harder to work whenever I want to change something, since I have to rework node by node. So I was wondering if there was a way to convert a line into a shape, so I can modify it all I want as a line, and then turn it into a shape and add the sharpened end.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Constraints When Drawing Shapes?

May 31, 2013

I am using CorelDRAW 16.3.0.1114.

Supposedly, when using any of several shape drawing tools:

• If I hold Shift when dragging, the shape will be drawn centered on my starting point.

• If I hold Crtl when dragging, the shape will be drawn with a constrained aspect ratio (such as a circle for the Ellipse tool, a square for the Rectangle tool).

But in fact, for the Ellipse and Rectangle tools:

• If I hold Shift when dragging, the shape will be drawn with a constrained aspect ratio (a
circle for the Ellipse tool, a square for the Rectangle tool)..

• If I hold Ctrl when dragging, there is no effect on the drawing of the shape.

For the Basic Shapes tool:

• If I hold Shift when dragging, the shape will be drawn centered on my starting point..

• If I hold Ctrl when dragging, there is no effect on the drawing of the shape.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Node Reduce Does Not Work On Certain Shapes

Jul 4, 2013

Usually the reduce node tool will reduce the nodes easily, but I have had a few issues where an imported shape or vector - usually a dxf file or plt file has thousands of nodes but the reduce node tool does not work.

When I select a node on these files it only reduces the node I select? is there a way of smoothing these without redrawing ?

CorelDRAW X6 :: Importing Shapes And Letter Filling

Apr 10, 2013

I am looking for the best way to carry this out. I have a drawing which I have scanned into my computer. The drawing is of one big shape made up of random, interlocking shapes - something like a jigsaw. Each of the shapes I want to be filled with different, single words.

I think cutting out each shape one at a time, filling with text then re piecing together may be the best option?

I should say that nothing of the original drawing needs to stay in the finished image, it's really just the shapes I am after so piecing them back together in a new document could be an option.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Fill Shape With Other Shapes

Apr 4, 2012

I'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?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: Resizing Multiple Shapes

Mar 9, 2011

I'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.

Find/Replace objects: I don't see any options involving object dimensions (although I can "Find All" of my objects by shape or fill).

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 :: Unable To Fill Shapes

Apr 14, 2011

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.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Cannot Index Shapes Array

Oct 6, 2013

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.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Using Custom Spray Can Shapes From Paint In Artistic Media?

My list of  pre-loaded brushes in DRAW is much shorter than the list in Paint. I'm specifically hoping to be able to use this brush in my Artistic Media in DRAW. Or do I need to create a new brush in DRAW? I would prefer not to have to work in Paint at all.

I just need a spray can that just sprays dots in DRAW (instead of the clipart type images that are part of the default).

CorelDRAW X6 :: Filling Spaces Without Manually Using Smart Fill For Combined Shapes

May 30, 2013

bg color of combined shape.jpg

I am creating some geometric patters with the transform tool.  Basically a shape is rotated about a center point.  When the shapes are combined they create some quick interesting shapes.  However, is there a way to fill in the gaps in the combined shape automatically, without having to manually use the smart fill tool? 

Breaking the shape apart does not work, because the geometric pattern is based on the overlaps.  I included a jpg of what I am doing to circumvent the manual smart fill, but is there an easier way, especially where the geometric patterns become very complex. 

I can take the object, trim from a background, break apart that trimmed shape, then color it, or group or shape into a single curve, then align and group with the original object.  But just looking to see if there is another easier way.
