Drawing shapes
CorelDRAW Home & Student X7 offers a wide variety of tools
for drawing shapes.
Rectangles
By dragging diagonally with the
Rectangle tool , you can draw a
rectangle or a square (when holding
down Ctrl). The 3-point rectangle tool
lets you quickly draw rectangles at an
angle.
Ellipses
You can draw an ellipse by dragging diagonally
with the Ellipse tool . Hold down Ctrl to
constrain the shape to a circle. The 3-point
ellipse tool lets you quickly draw an ellipse at
an angle.
To draw an arc or a pie shape, you can click the
Arc or Pie button on the property bar and then drag.
Complex shapes
You can use the tools on the Object flyout to draw polygons,
grids, spirals, and two types of stars: perfect and complex.
Use the property bar to change the number of polygon sides,
star points, grid columns, or spiral revolutions.
Perfect shapes
With the tools on the Object flyout, you
can also draw basic shapes, arrows,
flowchart shapes, banners, and callout
shapes. Select a preset shape on the property bar, and drag
the diamond-shaped handle (glyph) to modify the
appearance of some shapes.
Text
There are two types of text you can add to drawings:
paragraph text and artistic text. You can also import existing
text from an external file or paste text from the Clipboard.
Paragraph text
Paragraph text can be used for larger
bodies of text that have greater
formatting requirements. Before you add
paragraph text, you must drag with the
Text tool to create a text frame.
Artistic text
You can use artistic text for short lines of
text to which you can apply a wide range
of effects, such as drop shadows or
contours.
You can add artistic text to an open or
closed path.
Fit text to a path
To fit text to a path, select the text, and
click Text
Fit Text to Path. Move the
pointer over a path and use the dynamic
preview to position the text. Click to
attach the text to the path.
To type text on a path, click the Text tool ,
and point to a path. When the pointer
changes to a Fit to Path pointer, click to add
text.
Interactive OpenType features
OpenType features let you choose alternative appearances for
individual characters (glyphs), provided that the font and
selected characters support OpenType features.
OpenType features include fractions, ligatures, ordinals,
ornaments, small caps, swashes, and more. OpenType fonts
are based on Unicode, which makes them ideal for cross-
platform and multi-language design work. In addition,
CorelDRAW Home & Student X7 will suggest eligible
OpenType features that you can apply to your text.
