Corel Question

[Martin Boekers]

Sometimes in Corel I need to make an outline of an object.
It doesn't have to be real critical. Is there a way once I have
and outline, a little rough around the edges, to automatically smooth
the curves?

Thanks!

Shape Tool? Reduce the nodes once everything is selected? Or smoothing nodes (under that same set of tools).

In Corel X7, Object-Shaping-Boundry
I use it all the time.
X5 and X6 has it also

Just so! I needed this yesterday and couldn't remember how to do it the easy way so I fumbled around for over 10 minutes with welding, joining, combining nodes, etc., to manually do the same thing in a much more convoluted way :^(

In X6, it's found under Windows/Dockers/Shaping, which opens a multipurpose docker with Weld, Trim, Back Minus Front, etc., including Boundary. Once I found it there, and knowing all-too-well that I frequently-used icons on the command bar for Weld, Back Minus Front, and Front Minus Back, I checked the command bar and there was the Boundary icon that I had never previously used or even recognized... Always more to learn!

I thought he was asking how to smooth it once he created the outline.

--me too...

I usually use Gravostyle or my Casmate for smoothing, but I have found that deleting nodes within a bumpy arc works great-- usually. ;)
