CorelDrawX7 Tools?

Pick Tool. You select objects by using the Pick tool. By default, all objects are treated as
filled so that you can select any unfilled object by clicking on its outline or the area surrounded
by the outline. However, you can change this default behavior so that you can select unfilled
objects only by clicking on their outlines. Changing the default behavior is useful when you
work with line drawings and often need to select objects that appear beneath other objects.
CorelDraw lets you select text to edit specific characters or modify it as an object. For example,
you can select specific characters to change the font or select a text object, such as a text frame,
so you can move, resize, or rotate it.

Freehand Pick. To move an object, drag it. To constrain the movement to the horizontal
or vertical axis, hold down ctrl while to scale the object, drag one of the corner sizing handles,
holding down shift if you want to scale from the center. Dragging. The freehand pick tool lets
you select objects by using a freehand selection marquee.
Free Transform Tool. The free transform tool lets you transform an object by using the
free rotation, free angle reflection, free scale, and free skew tools. Rotate the object by
positioning the axis and then dragging a rotation handle.

bar.
Free Angle Reflection. Free angle reflection tool button lets you scale a selected object,
or mirror it horizontally or vertically. Mirror the objects by positioning the reflection axis and
then dragging in a circular motions.
Free Scale. Free scale tool button lets you resize a selected object by scaling it along the
horizontal and vertical axes simultaneously, relative to its anchor point. Change the objects
dimensions by positioning the scaling center point and the dragging.
Free Skew. Free skew tool button lets you skew a horizontal and vertical lines of an object
simultaneously, relative to its anchor point. Slant the objects by positioning the skewing axis
and dragging.
Shape Tool. (F10). CorelDraw X7 offers enhanced node selection that simplifies working
with complex shapes. You can now select adjacent nodes on curves by using the Shape tool
while holding down Shift. You can also change the direction in which the nodes are selected.
Edit a curve objects or text character by manipulating nodes. The shape of every vector object
in CorelDRAW is controlled by nodes. Lines run from node to node. Curved lines are built
from curve nodes. Curve nodes have two "arms", which guide the curves. The arms point in
the direction in which the curve leaves the node.

Print Merge. CorelDraw lets you combine text from a data source with a drawing. When you
merge documents, you can produce several different copies of a drawing. You can use merged
documents to create personalized documents, such as mailing lists, questionnaires, and
targeted marketing documents, where each printed document contains specific information
from a record in a data source, such as a text file or an ODBC data source (a Microsoft Excel
or Microsoft Access file). When you merge documents, you create a form document in
CorelDraw and combine it with a data source. A form document provides the pattern and
layout for a merged document. A data source supplies information for a drawing during the
merge. CorelDraw supports the following data source files: Text (TXT) files, comma-
separated values (CSV) files, Rich Text Format (RTF) files, and files that can be opened by
means of an ODBC data source.

progressively backwards through your changes, even after you save the document.
Redo (Ctrl+Shift+Z). Restores whatever changes you just made by using the undo command.
Selecting redo multiple times moves you progressively forward through changes you undid.
If you just used a command other than undo, repeat appears instead of redo. This property lets
you repeat the last action. For example, if you just pressed delete, the repeat command presses

Repeat (Ctrl+R). This option is used to repeat duplicate same objects. By using this option,
we can repeat our work again another object. You can undo the actions that you perform in a
drawing, starting with the most recent action. If you don’t like the result of undoing an
action, you can redo it. Reverting to the last saved version of a drawing also lets you remove
one or more actions. Certain actions applied to objects, such as stretching, filling, moving,
and rotating, can be repeated to create a stronger visual effect.

below the action that you click are undone. When you redo a series of actions in the undo
manager docker, the action that you click and all preceding undone actions are redone.
Cut (Ctrl+X). This command is used to deletes the selected text or objects from a document,
and copies them to the invisible windows or Macintosh clipboard so you can paste them
elsewhere. (The clipboard holds only one selection at a time.). Remove the selection and put
it on clipboard so you can paste it somewhere else. You can cut or copy an object to place it
on the Clipboard and paste it into a drawing or another application. Cutting an object places
it on the Clipboard and removes it from the drawing. Copying an object places it on the
Clipboard but keeps the original in the drawing.
Copy (Ctrl+C). This command is used to copies the selected item to your computer's memory
and available in clipboard use for later. Put a copy of the selection on the clipboard so you
can paste it somewhere else. You can create multiple copies of objects simultaneously, while
specifying their position, without using the Clipboard. For example, you can distribute object
copies horizontally, to the left or right of the original object; or you can distribute copies of
objects vertically, below or above the original object. You can specify the spacing between
copies of objects, or you can specify the offset at which copies of objects are created in relation
to each other.

Paste Special. This command is used to choose how you wish to paste the clipboard item into
your document. Options range from text only for just plain text to increasingly more elaborate
options, which force CorelDraw to attempt to preserve various levels of formatting, such as
styles, bold, italic, bulleted lists, and so on.
Delete (Delete). This option is used to delete selected objects and text matters.
Duplicate (Ctrl+D). Duplicating an object places a copy directly in the drawing window and
does not use the Clipboard. Duplicating is faster than copying and pasting. Also, when
duplicating an object, you can specify the distance between the duplicate and the original
object along the x and y axes. This distance is known as the offset. You can apply a
transformation, such as rotating, sizing, or skewing, to the duplicate of an object while keeping
the original object intact. If you decide that you want to keep the original object, you can delete
the duplicate.

Clone. When you clone an object, you create a copy of an object that is linked to the original.
Any changes you make to the original object are reflected automatically in the clone. Changes
you make to the clone are not automatically reflected in the original, however. You can remove
changes made to the clone by reverting to the original. Cloning lets you modify multiple copies
of an object simultaneously by changing the master object. This type of modification is
especially useful if you want the clone and master objects to differ by certain properties, such
as fill and outline color, but want the master object to control other properties, such as shape.

box. In the horizontal settings area, choose no offset from the mode list box. In the vertical
settings area, choose spacing between objects from the mode list box. To specify the spacing
between copies of objects, type a value in the distance box. To place the copies above or below
the original, choose up or down from the direction list box
Select All. (Ctrl+A). Before you can change an object, you must select it. You can select
visible objects, objects that are hidden from view by other objects, and a single object in a
group or a nested group. In addition, you can select objects in the order in which they were
created, select all objects at once, and deselect objects. CorelDraw lets you select text to edit
specific characters or modify it as an object. For example, you can select specific characters
to change the font or select a text object, such as a text frame, so you can move, resize, or
rotate it.

lets you see what the drawing will look like when it is exported to a bitmap file format.
Simulate Overprints. Simulate overprints simulates the color of areas where overlapping
objects were set to overprint and displays PostScript fills, high-resolution bitmaps, and anti-
aliased vector graphics. For information about overprinting objects, see to.
Rasterize Complex Effects. Rasterize complex effects rasterizes the display of complex
effects, such as transparencies, bevels, and drop shadows when in Enhanced view. This option
is useful for previewing how the complex effects will be printed. To ensure the successful
printing of complex effects, most printers require complex effects to be rasterized.
Proof Colors. When you turn soft proofing on, colors in the document window, color palettes,
and preview windows of dialog boxes appear different. Simulating printer output may cause
on-screen colors to appear dull because all colors are brought into a CMYK color space, which
has a smaller gamut than an RGB color space.
Full Screen Preview (F9). This command is used to shows our work in full screen mode.

Rulers. You can display rulers in the drawing window to help you draw, size, and align objects
precisely. You can hide the rulers or move them to another position in the drawing window.
You can also customize the ruler settings to suit your needs. For example, you can set the ruler
origin, choose a unit of measure, and specify how many marks or ticks appear within each full
unit mark.

Printable Area. You can display the printable area of a drawing by clicking View Page
Printable area. The printable area is usually indicated by two dotted lines inside or around the
page, depending on the current printer settings. One outline indicates the area that can be
printed on the current printer; the other outline indicates the paper size that your printer is set
to use.
Baseline Grid. You can align text within a frame or in different frames by using the baseline
grid. This is useful, for example, when you want to align two or more text frames that contain
different fonts, font sizes, and spacing. All objects can snap to the baseline grid; only text
frames can align to the baseline grid. Snapping is turned on or off for all objects (it’s a grid
setting). Alignment is turned on or off for individual frames (it’s a text frame setting). For
information about displaying or hiding the baseline grid, turning snapping on or off, changing
the grid color, and setting the line spacing, see Setting up the baseline grid.
Gridlines. A horizontal, vertical, or slanted line that can be placed anywhere in the drawing
window to aid in object placement. You can add a guideline wherever you need one; however,
you can also choose to add preset guidelines. There are two types of preset guidelines Corel
presets and user-defined presets. Examples of Corel presets include guidelines that appear at
1-inch margins and guidelines that appear at newsletter column borders. User-defined presets
are guidelines whose location you specify. For example, you can add preset guidelines that
display margins at a distance you specify or that define a column layout or grid. You can
remove guidelines at any time.
Alignment Guides (Alt+Shift+A). You can align objects interactively on the drawing page
by using alignment guides. Alignment guides are temporary guidelines that appear when you
create, resize, or move objects in relation to other nearby objects. While dynamic guides
provide precise measurements for creating technical illustrations, alignment guides are useful
in page layout to align text or graphic elements quickly and accurately.
Dynamic Guides (Alt+Shift+D). You can display dynamic guides to help you precisely
move, align, and draw objects in relation to other objects. Dynamic guides are temporary
guidelines that you can pull from the following snap points in objects — center, node,
quadrant, and text baseline. For more information about snap points and snapping modes, see
Snapping objects.
Snap To Object (Alt+Z). When you move or draw an object, you can snap it to another object
in a drawing. You can snap an object to various snap points on the target object. When you
move the pointer close to a snap point, the snap point becomes highlighted, which identifies it
as the pointer’s snapping target. To snap an object to another object with greater precision,
you can first snap the pointer to a snap point in the object, and then snap the object to a snap
point in the target object. For example, you can snap the pointer to the center of a rectangle,
drag the rectangle by the center, and then snap the rectangle to the center of another rectangle.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Insert Page Number. You can insert page numbers on the current page, all pages, all odd
pages, or all even pages. When you insert page numbers on multiple pages, a new master layer
is automatically created, and the page number is placed on it. The master layer can be an all-
page master layer, an odd-page master layer, or an even-page master layer. For more
information about master layers, see creating layers.
On Active Layer. On active layer — lets you insert a page number on the layer that is currently
selected in the Object manager docker. If the active layer is a master layer, page numbers are
inserted on all pages of the document where the master layer is visible. If the active layer is a
local layer, the page number is inserted on the current page only.
On All Pages. On all pages — lets you insert page numbers on all pages. The page number is
inserted on a new all-page master layer.
On All Odd Pages. On all odd pages — lets you insert page numbers on all odd pages. The
page number is inserted on a new odd-page master layer.
On All Even Pages. On all even pages — lets you insert page numbers on all even pages. The
page number is inserted on a new Even -page master layer. By default, the page number is
centered at the bottom of the page.
Switch Page Orientation. The orientation of the page can be landscape or portrait. In
landscape orientation, the drawing’s width is greater than its height, and in portrait orientation,
the drawing’s height is greater than its width. Any pages you add to a drawing have the current
orientation; however, you can change the orientation of individual pages at any time.
Page Setup. You can begin working on a drawing by specifying settings for the size,
orientation, and layout style of the page. The options you choose when specifying the page
layout can be used as a default for all new drawings you create. You can also adjust the page
size and orientation settings to match the standard paper settings for printing. There are two
options for specifying a page size: choosing a preset page size and creating your own. You can
choose from many preset page sizes, ranging from legal-size paper and envelopes to posters
and webpages. If a preset page size does not meet your needs, you can create a custom page
size by specifying a drawing’s dimensions
Page Background Solid. You can choose the color and type of background for a drawing. For
example, you can use a solid color if you want a uniform background. If you want a more
intricate or dynamic background, you can use a bitmap. When you choose a bitmap as the
background, it is embedded in the drawing by default. This option is recommended. However,
you can also link the bitmap to the drawing so that if you later edit the source image, the change
is automatically reflected in the drawing. If you send a drawing with a linked image to someone
else, you must also send the linked image.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page Background Bitmap. When you export files to a bitmap format, the background color
is used for anti-aliasing edges. If the bitmaps are of irregular shape and will be placed against
a background different from white, it is recommended that you select a matching page
background color. For example, if you are planning to place the exported bitmap against a blue
background, you may want to choose a similar blue color for the page background.

Page Layouts. When you use the default layout style (full page), each page in a document is
considered a single page and prints on one sheet. You can choose layout styles for multipage
publications, such as booklets and brochures. The multipage layout styles — book, booklet,
62 | P a g e

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tent card, side-fold card, top-fold card, and tri-fold brochure — split the page size into two or
more equal parts. Each part is considered a separate page. The advantage of working with
separate parts is that you can edit each page in upright orientation, and in sequential order in
the drawing window, regardless of the layout required to print your document. When you are
ready to print, the application automatically arranges the pages in the order required for
printing and binding.
Chapter-7. Object. Menu (Alt+J).

Insert Barcode. The Barcode wizard in CorelDraw lets you add bar codes to drawings. A bar
code is a group of bars, spaces, and sometimes numbers that is designed to be scanned and
read into computer memory. Bar codes are most commonly used to identify merchandise,
inventory, and documents. The Barcode wizard guides you through the process of inserting a
bar code. If you need additional information at any step, you can consult the Help in the
Barcode wizard.
Insert QR Code. CorelDraw lets you insert QR codes with embedded information such as a
web address, email address, phone number, text message, geo location, or plain text. After you
insert a QR code, you can edit and validate it. For more information, see Editing QR codes
and Validating QR codes.
Validate Barcode. After inserting and formatting a QR code, you can validate it to make sure
that it can be read by QR code readers and scanners. To insert, edit, and validate QR codes,
you must sign in to your account and be connected to the Internet.
Insert New Objects. To insert a linked object into the active drawing from another
application, click Object Insert new object. In the Insert new object dialog box, enable the
Create from file option, browse to the file you want to insert, and enable the Link check box.
You can also create an embedded object by enabling the Create new option, and choosing the
application in which you want to create the object from the Object type list box. You can also
insert an embedded object by selecting an object in the source application, and dragging it to
the window of the target application.
Link. CorelDraw lets you insert CorelDraw files as linked or embedded objects in other
applications. You can also insert a linked or embedded object in CorelDraw. A linked object
remains connected to its source file; whereas an embedded object is not linked to its source
file but is integrated into the active document.
Symbol (New Symbol). Symbols are objects that are defined once and can be referenced many
times in a drawing. You can have multiple instances of a symbol in a drawing with little impact
on file size. Symbols make editing a drawing quicker and easier, as changes made to a symbol
are automatically inherited by all instances.
63 | P a g e
 Vinod Computer Institute Mehnagar Azamgarh UP.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit Symbol. You can edit a symbol; any changes you make affect all instances in the drawing.
The selection handles for symbols differ from those for objects. Selection handles for symbols
are blue; selection handles for objects are black. When you insert a symbol from an external
library, a copy of the symbol is added to the active drawing, but it remains linked to the source
symbol. You can edit a linked symbol or you can decide to break the link to the external library
and make the symbol internal. When the link is broken, the local copy of the symbol remains
in the drawing as an internal symbol, and it can be edited independently from the symbol in
the external library.
Break Link. If there are other instances of the symbol in the drawing, you are given the choice
to break the link to all instances. If you do, the internal symbol will then apply to all the
instances. You can also make a linked symbol internal by right-clicking a symbol and choosing
Break link.
Symbol Manager (Ctrl+F3). To edit a linked symbol, click File Open. Choose the drive and
folder of the library that contains the symbol that you want to modify. Click a library (.csl)
filename, and click Open. The symbol appears in the Symbol manager docker, and it can be
selected and edited like any other symbol. You may need permission to change files on the
network. You can also convert an existing object or objects to a symbol by dragging the object
or objects to the Symbol manager docker. To open the docker, click Object Symbol Symbol
manager.

Power Clip (Place Inside Frame). CorelDraw lets you place vector objects and bitmaps, such
as photos, inside other objects, or frames. A frame can be any object, for example artistic text
or a rectangle. When the object is larger than the frame, the object, called the contents, is
cropped to fit the form of the frame. This creates a Power Clip object.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extract PowerClip. The contents remains in the same location, but it is separated from the
frame. The PowerClip frame remains as an empty Power Clip frame. You must extract the
contents of each level in a nested PowerClip separately. You can also select the PowerClip
object and click the Extract contents button on the PowerClip toolbar.
Edit PowerClip. While you edit the contents, the frame appears in Wireframe mode and
cannot be selected or edited. You can also double-click the PowerClip object to enable it for
editing, or select the PowerClip object and click the Edit PowerClip button on the PowerClip
toolbar. When you have finished editing the contents, click the Stop editing contents button.

Finish Editing This Level. You can also double-click the PowerClip object to enable it for
editing, or select the PowerClip object and click the Edit PowerClip button on the PowerClip
toolbar. When you have finished editing the contents, click the finish editing contents button.

Create Empty PowerClip Frame. You can create an empty PowerClip frame from an object,
or convert a PowerClip frame back to an object. Creating empty PowerClip frames or text
frames is useful when you want to define the layout of your document before adding the
content. For more information about text frames, see Adding paragraph text. After you create
an empty PowerClip frame, you can add contents to it. You can also add contents to a
PowerClip frame that already contains another object.

Lock Contents To PowerClip. You can also right-click a PowerClip object and click Lock
contents to PowerClip, or you can select the PowerClip object and click the Lock contents to
PowerClip button on the PowerClip toolbar.
Fit Contents Proportionally. Click Object PowerClip Fit contents proportionally. The
content is resized so that its longest dimension fits inside the frame. The content is not
distorted, and its aspect ratio is preserved. The whole content is visible, but there may be empty
areas in the frame.
Fill Frame Proportionally. Click Object PowerClip Fill frame proportionally. The content
is resized so that it fills the frame without being distorted. The content’s aspect ratio is
preserved. The frame is full, but there may be parts of the content that fall outside the frame
and are not visible.
Stretch Contents To Fill Frame. Click Object PowerClip Stretch contents to fill frame.
The content is resized and distorted so that it fills the frame. The content’s aspect ratio is not
preserved. The frame is full, and all of the content is visible.
Transformation (Position Alt+F7). The object origin, also known as "anchor point" or
"reference point," can be the center of an object or any one of the object’s selection handles.
The object origin remains stationary when an object is positioned by typing values in the x and
y boxes on the property bar. When you enable the Relative position check box on the
Transformation docker, the position of the center anchor point is identified as 0, 0 in the H and
V boxes. When you specify a different position in the H and V boxes, the values represent a
change from the current position as measured from the center anchor point of the object.

Rotation. You can also view and set the relative center of an object by clicking the object to
display the rotation handles and dragging the relative center handle (circle with a dot in the

middle) to a new position. You can set the relative center of an object to its original position
by enabling the Relative center check box in the Transformation docker and clicking the center
option in the area below the check box.

Scale And Mirror. CorelDraw lets you size and scale objects. In both cases, you change the
dimensions of an object proportionally by preserving its aspect ratio. You can change the
dimensions of an object by specifying precise values or by changing the object interactively.
When you scale an object, you change its dimensions by a specified percentage. Mirroring an
object flips it from left to right or top to bottom. By default, the mirror anchor point is in the
center of the object.

Size. CorelDraw lets you size and scale objects. In both cases, you change the dimensions of
an object proportionally by preserving its aspect ratio. You can change the dimensions of an
object by specifying precise values or by changing the object interactively. When you scale an
object, you change its dimensions by a specified percentage. The anchor point of an object,
also known as "object origin," remains stationary when you resize the object by typing values
in the Object size boxes on the property bar. If you want to change the object origin, click a
point on the Object origin button on the property bar.

Skew. You can skew and stretch objects in CorelDraw. When you skew an object, you specify
the degree by which you want to slant the object. Stretching changes an object’s vertical and
horizontal dimensions none proportionally. Type values in the Skew angle boxes on the
property bar to specify the number of degrees by which you want to skew the object
horizontally or vertically. If you want to apply the scaling according to the object’s position
rather than the x and y coordinates, click the Relative to object button on the property bar.

Clear Transformation. This command is used it will clear all types of transformation. If you
want to leave the original object unchanged and apply the transformation to copies that are
created, type a number in the Copies box in the Transformation docker. You can undo the
Clear transformations command by clicking Edit Undo clear transformations.
Align and Distribute. CorelDraw lets you precisely align and distribute objects in a drawing.
You can align objects with each other and with parts of the drawing page, such as the center,
edges, and grid. When you align objects with objects, you can line them up by their centers or
by their edges. You can align multiple objects horizontally or vertically with the center of the
drawing page. Single or multiple objects can also be arranged along the edge of the page and
to the nearest point on a grid. You can also align objects with a reference point by specifying
its exact x and y coordinates.
Align Left (L). Align left — aligns text with the left side of the text frame or the bounding
box of artistic text. To align the left edges of objects.
Align Right (R). Align right — aligns text with the right side of the text frame or the bounding
box of artistic text. To align the right edges of objects.
Align Top (T). Align top — aligns text with the top side of the text frame or the bounding
box of artistic text. To align the top edges of objects.
Align Bottom (B). Align bottom — aligns text with the bottom side of the text frame or the
bounding box of artistic text. To align the bottom edges of objects.
Align Centers Horizontally (E). To align object centers along a vertical axis.
Align Centers Vertically (C). To align object centers along a horizontal axis.

Centers To Page (P). Align an object with the page center. To align the center of the object
with the page center, make sure that the Align center horizontally button and Align center
vertically button in the Align area are enabled.
Order. You can change the stacking order of objects on a layer or a page by sending objects
to the front or back of other objects. You can also position objects precisely in the stacking
order, as well as reverse the stacking order of multiple objects.
To Front of Page (Ctrl+Home). Moves the selected object in front of all other objects on the
page.

To Back of Page (Ctrl+End). Moves the selected object behind all other objects on the page.
To Front of Layer (Shift+PgUp). Moves the selected object in front of all other objects on
the active layer.
To Back of Layer (Shift+PgDn). Moves the selected object behind all other objects on the
active layer.
Forward One (Ctrl+PgUp). Moves the selected object forward one position. If the selected
object is in front of all other objects on the active layer, it is moved to the layer above.
Back One (Ctrl+PgDn). Moves the selected object behind one position. If the selected object
is behind all other objects on the selected layer, it is moved to the layer below.
In Front of. Moves the selected object in front of the object that you click in the drawing
window.
Behind. Moves the selected object behind the object that you click in the drawing window.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combine (Ctrl+L). Combining two or more objects creates a single object with common fill
and outline attributes. You can combine rectangles, ellipses, polygons, stars, spirals, graphs,
or text so that they are converted to a single curve object. If you need to modify the attributes
of an object that has been combined from separate objects, you can break apart the combined
object. You can extract a sub path from a combined object to create two separate objects. You
can also weld two or more objects to create a single object.
Break Apart (Ctrl+K). If you break apart a combined object that contains artistic text, the
text breaks apart into lines first, and then into words. Paragraph text breaks into separate
paragraphs.
Group Objects (Ctrl+G). When you group two or more objects, they are treated as a single
unit but retain their individual attributes. Grouping lets you apply the same formatting,
properties, and other changes to all the objects within the group at the same time. In addition,
grouping helps prevent accidental changes to the position of an object in relation to other
objects. You can also create nested groups by grouping together existing groups.

Ungroup Objects (Ctrl+U). Breaks a group into individual objects, or a nested group into
multiple groups.
Ungroup All Objects. Breaks one or more groups into individual objects, including objects
within nested groups.
Hide Object. When an object is hidden, the object name appears grayed out in the Object
Manager docker, and an icon is displayed beside the name.
Show Object. When an object is show, the object name appears grayed out in the Object
Manager docker, and an icon is displayed beside the name.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lock Object. Locking an object prevents you from accidentally moving, sizing, transforming,
filling, or otherwise changing it. You can lock single, multiple, or grouped objects. To change
a locked object, you need to unlock it first. You can unlock one object at a time, or all locked
objects at the same time.

Unlock Object. You can also unlock an object by right-clicking it and then clicking Unlock
object.
Unlock All Object. This option used to you will make all objects unlocked by this option.
Shaping. This command is used to make some typical and difficult shapes our object.
Weld Object. You can create irregular shapes by welding and intersecting objects. You can
weld or intersect almost any object, including clones, objects on different layers, and single
objects with intersecting lines. However, you cannot weld or intersect paragraph text,
dimension lines, or masters of clones. You can weld objects regardless of whether they overlap
each other. If you weld objects that do not overlap, they form a weld group that acts as a single
object. In both cases, the welded object takes on the fill and outline attributes of the target
object.
Trim Object. Trimming creates irregularly shaped objects by removing object areas that
overlap. You can trim almost any object, including clones, objects on different layers, and
single objects with intersecting lines. However, you cannot trim paragraph text, dimension
lines, or masters of clones. CorelDraw lets you trim objects in different ways. You can use a
front object as the source object to trim an object behind it, as well as use the back object to
trim a front object. You can also remove hidden areas of overlapping objects, so that only the
visible areas remain in the drawing. Removing the hidden areas can reduce file size when you
convert vector graphics to bitmaps.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Intersect Object. Intersecting creates an object from the area where two or more objects
overlap. The shape of this new object can be simple or complex, depending on the shapes you
intersect. The new object’s fill and outline attributes depend on the object you define as the
target object. The new object, which is created from the overlapping parts of the source and
target object, has the fill and outline properties of the target object. You can also intersect
objects by selecting the source and target objects and clicking the Intersect button on the
property bar.

Simplify. This command is used to remove the object from the object.
Front Minus Back. Removes the back object from the front one.
Front Minus Front. Removes the front object from the back one.
Convert To Curves (Ctrl+Q). A curve object has nodes and control handles, which you can
use to change the object’s shape. A curve object can be any shape, including a straight or
curved line. An object’s nodes are the small squares that appear along the object’s outline. The
line between two nodes is called a segment. Segments can be curved or straight. Each node
has a control handle for each curved segment connected to it. Control handles help you adjust
the curve of a segment. Most objects that are added to a drawing are not curve objects, with
the exception of spirals, freehand lines, and Bézier lines. Therefore, if you want to customize
the shape of an object or text object, it is recommended that you convert it to a curve object.
Convert Outline To Objects (Ctrl+Shift+Q). This command is used to change the outline
any object by using shape tool then we have to make it convert to curves.
Join Curve. You can join the start and end nodes of an open path such as a line to create a
closed object. This feature is useful for filling an object with color because you can apply fills
only to the inside of closed objects. For information about applying fills, see Filling objects..
Overprint Fill & Outline. You can set a group of objects to overprint. You can allow text to
overprint overlying objects. You can also overprint bitmaps; or each vector object’s fill, or
outline, or both. In addition, you can overprint specific color separations and specify in which
order they will print, as well as whether you want to overprint graphics, or text, or both.
Overprint Properties. The Object properties docker presents object-dependent formatting
options and properties, letting you modify object settings from one location. For example, if
you create a rectangle, the Object properties docker automatically presents outline, fill,
75 | P a g e

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
transparency, and corner formatting options, as well as the rectangle’s properties. If you create
a text frame, the docker instantly displays character, paragraph, and frame formatting options,
as well as the text frame’s properties. You can navigate quickly to the properties that you want
to modify by using the controls at the top of the Object properties docker. In addition, two
view modes are available: Scroll and Tab. Scroll mode displays all relevant object properties,
letting you scroll to the options you want. Tab mode displays only one group of object
properties at a time, hiding the other options. For example, you can view only fill options, and
then click the Outline button to view only outline options.

Adjust Color. By adjusting color and tone, you can restore detail lost in shadows or highlights,
remove color casts, correct underexposure or overexposure, and generally improve the quality
of the bitmaps. You can also correct color and tone quickly by using the Image Adjustment
Lab. For more information, see Using the Image Adjustment Lab.
Contrast Enhancement. Let’s you adjust the tone, color, and contrast of a bitmap while
preserving shadow and highlight detail. An interactive histogram lets you shift or compress
brightness values to printable limits. The histogram can also be adjusted by sampling values
from the bitmap.
Local Equalization. Let’s you enhance contrast near edges to reveal detail in both light and
dark regions. You can set the height and width around the region to accentuate contrast.

image and apply target colors to each of the sample colors.
Tone Curve. Let’s you perform color corrections precisely, by controlling individual pixel
values. By changing pixel brightness values, you can make changes to shadows, midtone, and
highlights. For more information, see using the Tone Curve filter.

Brightness And Contrast Intensity (Ctrl+B). Let’s you adjust the brightness of all colors
and the difference between light and dark areas.

Color Balance (Ctrl+Shift+B). Let’s you add cyan or red, magenta or green, and yellow or
blue to selected tones in a bitmap.
Gama. Let’s you accentuate detail in low contrast areas without affecting shadows or
highlights.
Hue Saturation Lightness (Ctrl+Shit+U). Let’s you adjust the color channels in a bitmap and
change the position of colors in the spectrum. This effect allows you to change colors and their
richness, as well as the percentage of white in an image.
Selective Color. Let’s you change color by changing the percentage of spectrum CMYK
process colors from the red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and magenta color spectrums in a
bitmap. For example, decreasing the percentage of magenta in the reds spectrum results in a
color shift toward yellow.
Replace Color. Let’s you replace one bitmap color with another color. A color mask is created
to define the color to be replaced. Depending on the range you set, you can replace one color
or shift an entire bitmap from one color range to another. You can set the hue, saturation, and
lightness for the new color.
Desaturation Color. Lets you reduce the saturation of each color in a bitmap to zero, remove
the hue component, and convert each color to its grayscale equivalent. This creates a grayscale
black-and-white photo effect without changing the color model.

Channel Mixer. Lets you mix color channels to balance the colors of a bitmap. For example,
if a bitmap has too much red, you can adjust the red channel in an RGB bitmap to improve
image quality.

Transform. You can transform the color and tone of an image to produce a special effect. For
example, you can create an image that looks like a photographic negative or flatten the
appearance of an image. To transform the color and tone of images, you can use the following
effects.
Delnterlace. Let’s you remove lines from scanned or interlaced images.
Invert Colors. Let’s you reverse the colors of an image. Inverting an image creates the
appearance of a photographic negative.
Posterize Colors. Let’s you reduce the number of tonal values in an image. Posterize removes
gradations and creates larger areas of flat color.
Correction. This command is used to you can adjust and scratches to our object.
Artistic Media. You can control how a sprayed line appears by adjusting the spacing between
objects, so they are closer or farther apart from each other. You can also vary the order of
objects in the line. For example, if you are spraying a series of objects that includes a star, a
triangle, and a square, you can change the spray order so that the square appears first, followed
by the triangle and then the star. CorelDraw also lets you shift the position of objects in a
sprayed line by rotating them along the path or offsetting them in one of four different
directions: alternating, left, random, or right. For example, you can choose a left offset
direction to align the objects you spray to the left of the path. You can also choose preset lines
from the Artistic media docker. You can open the Artistic media docker by clicking Effects
Artistic media.

Blend. After you create a blend, you can copy or clone its settings to other objects. When you
copy a blend, the object takes on all the blend-related settings, except for the outline and fill

79 | P a g e
 Vinod Computer Institute Mehnagar Azamgarh UP.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
attributes. When you clone a blend, changes you make to the original blend (also called the
master) are applied to the clone.
Contour (Ctrl+F9). After contouring an object, you can copy or clone its contour settings to
another object. You can also change the colors of the fill between the contour lines and the
contour outlines themselves. You can set a color progression in the contour effect, where one
color blends into another. The color progression can follow a straight, clockwise, or
counterclockwise path through the color range of your choice.
Envelop (Ctrl+F7). You can edit an envelope by adding and positioning its nodes. Adding
nodes gives you more control over the shape of the object contained in the envelope.
CorelDraw also lets you delete nodes, move multiple nodes simultaneously, change nodes
from one type to another, and change a segment of an envelope to a line or curve. For more
information about the different types of nodes, see Using curve objects.
Extrude. After you create an extrusion, you can copy or clone its attributes to a selected object.
Cloning and copying transfer the extrusion attributes of an extruded object to another.
However, the cloned extrusion settings cannot be edited independently from the master.
Another way in which you can give an object a three-dimensional appearance is by applying
a beveled edge to an extrusion. A bevel creates the illusion that an object’s extruded edges are
cut on an angle. You can specify the angle and depth values of the bevel to control the effect.
Bevel. The Emboss bevel effect is achieved by creating two duplicates of the object. The
duplicates are offset in opposite directions: one toward the light source and the other away
from the light source. The color of the duplicate placed toward the spotlight is a blend of the
spotlight and object colors and depends on the light intensity. The color of the duplicate placed
away from the spotlight is a 50 percent blend of the shadow and object colors.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lens (Alt+F3). Lenses change how the object area beneath the lens appears, not the actual
properties and attributes of the objects. You can apply lenses to any vector object, such as a
rectangle, ellipse, closed path, or polygon. You can also change the appearance of artistic text
and bitmaps. When you apply a lens over a vector object, the lens itself becomes a vector
image. Likewise, if the lens is placed over a bitmap, the lens also becomes a bitmap.

Add Prospective. Perspective distortions usually occur when you take pictures of tall or wide
objects, and the camera sensor is at an angle to the objects. As a result, the photographed
objects may appear to be leaning or to be at an angle. Adjusting the vertical perspective helps
straighten leaning objects; adjusting the horizontal perspective helps with angled objects.
Often, you may need to adjust both the vertical and horizontal perspectives for best results.

Convert To Bitmap. Converting a vector graphic or object to a bitmap lets you apply special
effects to the object with CorelDraw. The process of converting a vector graphic to a bitmap
is also known as "rasterizing.". When you convert the vector graphic, you can select the color

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mode of the bitmap. A color mode determines the number and kind of colors that make up the
bitmap, so the file size is also affected. For more information about color modes, see changing
the color mode of bitmaps.
Resolution. The amount of detail that an image file contains, or that an input, output, or display
device is capable of producing. Resolution is measured in dpi (dots per inch) or ppi (pixels per
inch). Low resolutions can result in a grainy appearance; high resolutions can produce higher
quality images but result in larger file sizes.
Color Mode. A system that defines the number and kind of colors that make up an image.
Black-and-white, grayscale, RGB, CMYK, and paletted are examples of color modes.
Dithered. A process used to simulate a greater number of colors when only a limited number
of colors are available. Simulates a greater number of colors than those available. This option
is available for images that use 256 or fewer colors.
Always Overprint Black. Overprints black when black is the top color. Enabling this option
prevents gaps from appearing between black objects and underlying objects when you print
bitmaps.
Anti-Aliasing. Smooths the edges of the bitmap.
Transparent Background. Makes the background of the bitmap transparent.
Auto Adjust. By adjusting color and tone, you can restore detail lost in shadows or highlights,
remove color casts, correct underexposure or overexposure, and generally improve the quality
of the bitmaps. You can also correct color and tone quickly by using the Image Adjustment
Lab. For more information, see Using the Image Adjustment Lab.
Image Adjustment Lab. The Image Adjustment Lab consists of automatic and manual
controls, which are organized in a logical order for image correction. By starting in the upper-
right corner and working your way down, you can select only the controls you need to correct
the problems specific to your image. It is best to crop or retouch any areas of the image before
beginning the color and tone corrections. Temperature slider — lets you correct color casts by
"warming" or "cooling" the color in an image to compensate for the lighting conditions at the
time the photo was taken. For example, to correct a yellow color cast caused by taking a photo
indoors in dim incandescent lighting, you can move the slider toward the blue end to increase
the temperature values (based on degrees Kelvin). Lower values correspond to low lighting
conditions, such as candlelight or light from an incandescent light bulb; these conditions cause
an orange cast. Higher values correspond to intense lighting conditions, such as sunlight; these
conditions cause a blue cast. Tint slider — lets you correct color casts by adjusting the green
or magenta in an image. You can add green by moving the slider to the right; you can add
magenta by moving the slider to the left. Moving the Tint slider after using the Temperature
slider lets you fine-tune an image.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Straighten Image. The Straighten image dialog box lets you correct lens distortions and
straighten bitmap images quickly. This feature is useful for straightening photos that were
taken or scanned at an angle or contain lens distortions.
Rotating And Previewing. The Straighten image dialog box lets you rotate an image by
moving a slider, typing a rotation angle, or using the arrow keys. You can specify a custom
rotation angle from -15 to 15 degrees. You can use the preview window to dynamically
preview the adjustments that you are making. If you want to change the orientation of the
image before straightening it, you can start by rotating the image 90 degrees clockwise and 90
degrees counterclockwise.
Cropping. By default, the straightened image is cropped to the cropping area that is displayed
in the preview window. The final image has the same aspect ratio as the original image, but it
has smaller dimensions. However, you can preserve the original width and height of the image
by cropping and resampling the image.
Edit Bitmap. You can access Corel PHOTO-PAINT, a complete image-editing application,
from within CorelDraw. When you finish editing a bitmap, you can quickly resume your work
with CorelDraw. To send a bitmap to Corel PHOTO-PAINT, you can click the Edit bitmap
button on the property bar, or you can use the Edit bitmap command from the Bitmaps menu.
You can also enable an option that lets you access Corel PHOTO-PAINT by double-clicking
a bitmap. You can also use this procedure to edit groups of bitmaps. Corel PHOTO-PAINT
opens the group of bitmaps as separate objects. If the bitmaps in the group have different color
modes, you are prompted to change the color mode of all bitmaps in the group to the color
mode of the bottom-most bitmap.
Crop Bitmap. To cut unwanted areas of an image without affecting the resolution of the part
that remains. To crop a bitmap into a rectangular shape, you can use the crop tool. For more
information, see to crop objects. To crop a bitmap into an irregular shape, you can use the
shape tool and the crop bitmap command.
Resample. If you want to maintain the file size, enable maintain original size check box. When
this check box is enabled, the resolution of the bitmap is automatically adjusted as you change
the image dimensions. You can maintain the proportions of the bitmap by enabling the
maintain aspect ratio check box and typing a value in either the width or height box. You can
also resample the bitmap as a percentage of its original size by typing values in the width %
and height % boxes.
Mode. You can achieve better color fidelity by choosing the palette you want to use when you
change an image to a paletted bitmap or when you export a GIF or PNG. For example, the
standard color palette provides more colors than necessary for an image with a limited range.

Inflate Bitmap. In the Inflate to boxes, type the number of pixels that should make up the
dimensions of the inflated bitmap. In the Inflate by boxes, type the percentages by which to
inflate the original bitmap.

Quick Trace. You can trace a bitmap in one step by using the Quick Trace command.
Alternatively, you can choose a suitable tracing method and preset style and then use the Power
TRACE controls to preview and adjust the traced results. CorelDraw offers two methods for
tracing bitmaps: Centerline Trace and Outline Trace. The Centerline Trace method uses
unfilled closed and open curves (strokes) and is suitable for tracing technical illustrations,
maps, line drawings, and signatures. This method is also referred to as "stroke tracing.
Centre Line Trace (Technical Illustration). To trace black-and-white illustrations with thin,
faint lines.
Technical Illustration. To trace black-and-white sketches with thick, prominent lines. If
necessary, adjust the traced results by using the controls of the Power TRACE dialog box.
Outline Trace. Line art — lets you trace black-and-white sketches and illustrations.
Logo. Lets you trace simple logos with little detail and few colors
Detailed Logo. Let you trace logos that contain fine detail and many colors.
Clipart. Lets you trace ready-to-use graphics that vary according to their amount of detail and
number of colors.

Paragraph. CorelDraw lets you align text in various ways. You can align paragraph text
horizontally and vertically in relation to its text frame. You can align paragraph text with the
baseline grid. For more information, see Aligning text by using the baseline grid. You can also
align text to a selected object.
No Horizontal Alignment. Applies the default alignment setting.
Align Left. Aligns text with the left side of the text frame or the bounding box of artistic text.
Centre. Centers text within the text frame.
Align Right. Aligns text with the right side of the text frame and the bounding box of artistic
text.

Before Paragraph Spacing. Specify the amount of space to insert above the paragraph.
After Paragraph Spacing. Specify the amount of space to insert below the paragraph.
Line Spacing. Choose how much space appears between lines of text between paragraphs. To
apply the same spacing to whole document use paragraph spacing option on the design table.
Line spacing is the amount of space between lines in a paragraph. By default paragraph are
single spacing. You might want to double space a school paper or a draft report. 1.5 line
spacing better than single spacing because it can make the text a little easier to read.
Character Spacing. You can improve text readability by adjusting the character and word
spacing. When letters or words are too close together, or too far apart, they become difficult
to read. CorelDraw offers you different tools for controlling text spacing. You can change the
spacing between characters (also known as "letter spacing") in a block of text. For example,
fully justifying a block of text may insert too much space between characters, which creates a
visual imbalance. To improve readability, you can decrease the character spacing.
Number of Columns. You can lay out text in columns. Columns are useful for designing text-
intensive projects, such as newsletters, magazines, and newspapers. You can create columns
of equal or varying widths and gutters. You can also apply right-to-left text flow to the columns
for bidirectional (bidi) text, such as Arabic and Hebrew (Note that this option is available only
for certain languages).
Align Base Line Grid. You can align text within a frame or in different frames by using the
baseline grid. This is useful, for example, when you want to align two or more text frames that
contain different fonts, font sizes, and spacing. All objects can snap to the baseline grid; only
text frames can align to the baseline grid. Snapping is turned on or off for all objects (it’s a
grid setting). Alignment is turned on or off for individual frames (it’s a text frame setting). For
information about displaying or hiding the baseline grid, turning snapping on or off, changing
the grid color, and setting the line spacing, see Setting up the baseline grid.
Tabs. You can modify existing tab stops by changing their alignment. You can also add
trailing leader characters, so that dots, or other characters, automatically precede the tab stops.
In addition, you can add new tab stops and remove existing tab stops. Indenting changes the
space between a text frame and the text that it contains. You can add and remove indents
without deleting or retyping text. You can indent an entire paragraph, the first line of a
paragraph, or all lines of a paragraph except the first line (a hanging indent). You can also
indent from the right side of the text frame.
Columns. Split your text into two or more columns. You can also choose width and spacing
of your columns or use one of the pre-set formats. But some types of documents—like
newspaper articles, newsletters, and flyers—are often written in column format. Word also
allows you to adjust your columns by adding column breaks.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bullets. You can use bulleted lists to format information. You can wrap text around bullets,
or you can offset a bullet from text to create a hanging indent. CorelDraw lets you customize
bullets by changing their size, position, and distance from text. You can also change the
spacing between items in a bulleted list.
Drop Cap. Applying drop caps, also known as initial caps, to paragraphs enlarges the initial
letter and insets it into the body of text. You can customize a drop cap by changing different
settings. For example, you can change the distance between the drop cap and the body of text,
or specify the number of lines of text that you want to appear next to the drop cap. You can
remove the drop cap at any point without deleting the letter.
Font Playground. Font Playground lets you view the same sample text in different fonts and
sizes to help you choose fonts for your project. You can preview preset text samples, or you
can type or paste text. In addition, you can view samples as single lines of text or multiline
text, and you can view a text sample as single lines of text in increasing font sizes.
Edit Text (Ctrl+Shift+T). CorelDraw lets you select text to edit specific characters or modify
it as an object. For example, you can select specific characters to change the font or select a
text object, such as a text frame, so you can move, resize, or rotate it.
Insert Character (Ctrl+F11). The Insert character docker is ideal for viewing and applying
the OpenType features provided by OpenType fonts. The default view shows a list of
characters in which the glyphs for individual characters appear grouped. Alternatively, you
can display a longer list that shows available glyphs at a glance.
Insert Formatting Code. You can insert formatting codes, such as em dashes and
nonbreaking spaces. In some programs, formatting codes are also known as "symbols." The
following table lists the available formatting codes and their corresponding keyboard
shortcuts.
Paragraph Text Frame. By default, text frames have a fixed size, regardless of how much
text you add to them. You can increase or decrease the frame size, so that the text fits in the
frame. If you add more text than a frame allows, the text continues past the lower-right border
of the text frame, but remains hidden. The color of the frame turns red to alert you that there's
additional text. You can fix the overflow manually by increasing the frame size, adjusting the
text size, adjusting the column width, or linking the frame to another text frame. For more
information, see combining and linking paragraph text frames.
Fit Text In To Path. After you fit text to a path, you can adjust the text position relative to
that path. For example, you can mirror the text horizontally, vertically, or both. Using tick
spacing, you can specify an exact distance between the text and the path. CorelDraw treats text
fitted to a path as one object; however, you can separate the text from the object if you no
longer want it to be part of the path. When you separate text from a curved or closed path, the
92 | P a g e
 Vinod Computer Institute Mehnagar Azamgarh UP.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
text retains the shape of the object to which it was fitted. You can also modify the text and
path properties independently.

Straighten Text. If your text is in angle or rotate from then us use straighten line.
Use Hyphenation. Hyphenation can be used to break a word if the entire word does not fit at
the end of a line. You can hyphenate automatically by using a preset hyphenation definition in
combination with your own hyphenation settings. You can set the minimum number of
characters before and after a hyphen. You can also specify the number of characters in the "hot
zone," which is the area at the end of a line where hyphenation can occur.
Change Case. CorelDraw lets you change the text case of artistic and paragraph text. For
example, you can apply small caps to acronyms so they visually blend with the text. If you
apply default capitalization, the text stands out too much and impacts the readability. In the
following example, the acronym "A.M." is shown with both the default uppercase and small
caps applied. You control the case of words, sentences, or paragraphs of selected text. For
example, you can apply title case to selected text to capitalize the initial letter of every word.
This is a useful formatting technique for headings, such as book or chapter titles. You can
automatically convert text to lowercase or uppercase without deleting or retyping letters. For
example, if you accidentally pressed the Caps Lock key and added uppercase text, you can
convert the text to lowercase without retyping it.
Text Static. You can check text statistics to count text elements, including the number of lines,
words, characters, and the names of the fonts and styles used. You can display statistics either

menus and menu commands. You can search for a menu command if you do not remember
the menu in which it belongs. You can also reset menus to the default setting. The
customization options apply to the menu bar menus as well as to shortcut menus that you
access by right-clicking.
Color Management. Different tools are used during the process of creating and sharing a
document. For example, you may start with a file that was created in another application or
import an image that was captured by a digital camera or scanner. After completing the
document, you may print it or email it to a colleague for review. Each of the tools that you use
in your workflow has a different way of interpreting color. In addition, each tool has its own
range of available colors, called a color space, which is a set of numbers that define how each
color is represented.
