Thread: Scaling a hairline

    Scaling a hairline

    Hi All,

    Hope I don't sound too stupid here but this is my question....
    I have a graphic I've made, using colour fill and hairlines, which are thickened up so they engrave. I have drawn the graphic larger than required, when I scale it down, the hairlines remain the same thickness, any ideas?

    Cheers

    Open your dialogue box for your outline. In there, there is a check box that says "Scale with image" or something like that. Whatever it is now, make it the opposite.

    In case Scott's suggestion does not work...hairlines do not actually have a width in Corel. Not sure what you mean about "...thickened up so they engrave." To raster, rather than cut, the line needs to be about .18mm or greater. Hairlines will always cut.
