COREL DRAW 5 MAKE RECTANGLES LINE UPEDGE TO EDGE HOW TO

Well, you can also insert bitmaps, but that is something different. Here are the basics: In Corel, everything is drawn as curves. I would use guidelines and snap to guidelines to assist in drawing the artwork.

I think you'll be better off redrawing your artwork after learning some basics. But they will just end up with another type of a mess. But if you were to select any other part of your 2, you could combine those cirves. I'm not even sure what they are controlling, but that is why these cannot be combined with other curves. That, along with the curve on the top left part of the beginning stroke of the 2 are also control curves instead of plain curves. Every 'line' or 'curve' in your number 2 (except for the bottom left of the beginning stroke of your 2) are closed curves consisting of multiple nodes! Once I moved some of the nodes, those curves were actually filled with black. Wow! I looked at your drawing and I 'm not sure how you managed it, but you ended up painting yourself into the proverbial corner. Here's the file if you'd care to take a look: The shape closes, becomes a single object, and fills with color. I tried drawing a freehand ellipse and closing it with a straight line as you suggested.

I guess I must not be, because it explained how to 'apply a lens' - and when I tried this, it complained, 'too many objects selected' and refused to do anything. there is no mention.ДҐ) I wasn't sure if you meant I should, or should not be, in WireFrame mode. It's not mentioned in the CorelDRAW help file either.Д¤) I searched the help file for 'Fill Open Curves', 'Open Curves', 'Fill Curves', 'Filling Curves'. It seems I'm not allowed to use that function, LOL!ДЈ) I don't have 'Smart Fill Tool' in any of my menus or buttons. If I select everything and 'Convert to Curves' first, 'Combine' is still greyed out. If I select just one line and one curve, 'Combine' is still greyed out.

None of them allow me to fill the shape with Color.Дў) If I select everything and right-click, 'Combine' is greyed out. If I Convert to Curves, then click 'Arrange', I only see: 'Lock Object', and a 'Shaping' menu that contains, 'Weld, Trim, Intersect'. If select all lines AND curves, I can then 'Convert to Curves' - but clicking on a fill color still leaves the shape unfilled. But If I click on a line (or two, or all), the menu option to 'Convert to Curves' is greyed out. I thought I might have to convert all lines to curves first. Also, that option is greyed out when I click on the node of a curve instead of a line - so I can't even attempt it with a curve. So doing what I tried above does not join the node of a line to the node of the curve. (The shape is basically a number '2' made of three parallel horizontal lines, with curves at the ends. That shape then becomes a solid and can be filled with color, but it ignores all the other lines and curves that make up the shape. But that just connects the two nodes of a line with another straight line. If I select the Shape Tool (so I can see the nodes), then hover the cursor over one node, then right-click, I get the options: Add, Delete, To Curve, Auto-Close, Reverse Curve, Elastic Mode. If so, I have them overlapping perfectly. Surely it must a simple thing.ДЎ) By open nodes, I assume you mean to overlap the node of a line with the node of a curve. But after years using CorelDRAW, I just want to know how to do it correctly. In fact, it's what I always do when I finally give up trying to do it the RIGHT way and just need it done. I know I can just make dozens of overlapping soild shapes and fill them. Often the instructions I'm finding mention menu tools my CorelDRAW doesn't even have. I've tried clicking everything I can find, read lots of old forum messages, but still just don't get it. But I cannot work out how to make it a solid shape so I can fill it with color. To draw curves, I just draw a circle with the Ellipse Tool, then select the Shape Tool, drag the circle's two nodes apart - and match each node of the curve to the node of a line. To draw the lines I use the Freehand Tool. I often draw shapes made up of straight lines and curves. In fact there's one thing I have often tried to do, but just can't get to work. I've used CorelDRAW for years, from version 2 through to 10.
