CorelDraw Quick Copy Methods and Tips

First, quickly copy colors and attributes

In CorelDraw software, the quickest way to color individual objects in a group is to drag the color on the screen palette directly to the object. Similarly, the shortcut to copying attributes to a single object in the group is to hold down the right mouse button while the user drags the object, and the properties of the object are exactly what the user wants to copy into the target object. When the user releases the button, the program will pop up a right-click display menu, where the user can select the attribute command they want to copy.

Second, let the gradient effect is more smooth

Gradient effect is a commonly used effect in the image production process. How to smooth the gradient of this effect to a more smooth and natural point becomes very important. In CorelDraw, the best way to get a smooth intermediate shape is to start with a gradient control object that uses the same number of nodes and is created in the same drawing order (clockwise or counterclockwise). To do this, you need to create your second object by modifying the copy of the first object. After the first object is selected, press the + key on the numeric keypad to copy it. Put the copy aside, select the Shape tool, and start rescheduling the node. If you need to add extra nodes here or there to make a second object (in CorelDraw, you can double-click on a curve to add a node), add the corresponding node to the first object at the same time. If your shape has many nodes, you can place a temporary, circle-like marker in the first object next to the node, and another marker in the second object next to the corresponding node.

Third, ensure the same color palette

When creating images, in order to achieve an overall coordinated effect, we often need to perform the same color processing on different objects. To achieve the same color, we need to set the same palette for these objects. When setting, we can proceed as follows: First in CorelDraw, open NewPaletteFromdocument under the Tool menu. The NewPaletteFromSelection command to grab, name and store the palette. Then use the Palette editor (found in the Tool menu) to sort the colors in your favorite order. Finally, display the new palette in another file, select View, ColorPalette, LoadPalette, and select your named palette.

Fourth, free to erase the lines

In CorelDraw, we can use one of the hand-drawn pencil tools to "play" arbitrarily. However, once we have played too far and accidentally painted or painted the wrong lines, what should you do? Maybe you think of deleting the lines or doing a few undos. There is actually a more flexible way to do this. Press the Shift key and then erase it in reverse.
