 Introduction To Corel draw
▪ Corel draw refers to a vector graphics editor developed and marketed by Corel Corporation
of Ottawa, Canada.
▪ It also refers to the name of Corel's graphics suite, which bundles CorelDraw with a bitmap
image editor- Corel Photo Paint and other graphics-related programs.
▪ Corel Draw is a comprehensive vector based drawing program that makes it easy to create
professional artwork from simple logos to technical illustrations.

 Working with Basic Shapes in Corel Draw
The various basic shapes that can be drawn in Corel Draw are listed below-
1. Lines
2. Rectangles & square
3. Ellipse & circle
4. Polygon
5. Star
6. Spiral
7. Common shapes
8. Grid/ Graph sheet
9. Curves

12
 Working with Shape Drawing Tools
1. Drawing lines & curves- A line is a path between two points. Lines can consist of multiple
segments and the line segments can be curved or straight. The line segments are connected
by nodes, which are depicted as small white squares. CorelDRAW provides various drawing tools
that helps to draw curved and straight lines and lines containing both curved and straight segments.
The different line drawing tools are-
a. Freehand
b. 2 -point tool
c. Bezier
d. Pen
e. B-spline
f. Polyline
g. 3- point tool
h. Artistic media
i. Smart drawing
a. Freehand tool (F5)- The Freehand tools helps to draw freehand lines as if sketching on a sketchpad.
If a mistake is made while drawing freehand curves, the unwanted parts can be erased immediately and
drawing is continued. When drawing straight lines or segments, straight vertical or horizontal lines can be
drawn using SHIFT KEY.
The Freehand tool help to control the smoothness of the curved line being drawn as well as to add
segments to an existing line. Straight lines are drawn by placing the points at the two ends of the line
segment. On the other hand, the free hand lines can be easily drawn without releasing the mouse as long
as desired. Different closed shapes can also be drawn.

13
Various related options available with the freehand tool are-

1. Centre co-ordinates
2. Length & width of the segment
3. Proportion of Length & width
4. Rotation of line around a fixed angle
5. Mirror options- Horizontally & Vertically
6. Width of line & curves
7. Line style
8. Arrowhead options
9. Smoothness of line or curve- This option is applicable mainly to curves for changing the smoothness of
the drawn curves. Increasing the smoothness value will smoothen out the curve with minimum nodes and
decreasing the smoothness value will reduce the curve smoothness and increases the nodes in the curve.

b. 2 point tool- It is similar to free hand tool in drawing straight segments. It can only draw straight lines. No
curves can be drawn with it. Use to draw independent segments rather than continuous lines. It offers all
options as the free hand tool. In addition, it can be used to draw perpendicular as well as tangent lines
too.

14
c. Bezier tool- It is used to draw both straight segments as well as curves. The straight segments are drawn
with clicking independent points one after the other. On the other hand, dragging the selected points results in
making curves. It gives precise control over the resulting line. The Bezier tool is closely related to the Shape
tool, the Shape tool is used to edit the nodes of the objects created with the Bezier tool. The Bezier tool and
the shape tool share the same property bar. It is used to draw continuous lines and curves

d. Pen tool- Its a variety of the Bezier tool, very similar, but each line segment is already shown, before
clicking. Using this tool might be slightly easier to learn than the Bezier tool. Both the straight line segments
and curves can be easily drawn either by clicking individual point or dragging the points to create curves for
different shapes. The pen tool can be used with a preview mode that can help to preview the line segments
before drawing. This helps to preview the distance and direction of to be drawn lines. It is used to draw
continuous lines and curves. The options are available related to Centre co-ordinates, line length & width,
aspect ratio, rotation, mirror image, preview mode, adding & deleting nodes, width of lines, arrow heads, line
styles etc. Double left click helps to release the line segments.

e. B- spline tool- The B-spline tool is used to draw curved lines by setting control points that shape the curve
without breaking it into segments. B- splines are typically smooth and continuous curved lines. The B-spline
tool helps to draw curved lines by setting control points that shape the curve without breaking it into
15
segments. Freehand smoothing is provided to smoothen out the curved segments. Three points are minimum
required to achieve atleast one curved segment.
B-splines touch the first and last control points and are pulled by the points in between. However, unlike the
nodes on Bézier curves, control points don’t specify the points through which a curve passes when to align a
curve with other drawing elements. The control points that touch the line are referred to as “clamped.”
Clamped control points function as anchors. The control points that pull the line but do not touch it are
referred to as “floating.” The first and last control points are always clamped on open-ended B-splines. The
points in between float by default.

f. Polyline- A variation of the Freehand tool, this tool adds the possibility to make straight segments in
between curved segments. The Polyline tool is easier to use for quickly drawing a complex line that consists
of alternating curved and straight segments and allows to draw in preview mode. It helps to draw many lines
one after the other. Smoothness of the lines and curves can be adjusted.
g. 3 point curve- The 3-point curve tool helps to draw simple curved lines by specifying their width and
height. This tool is used to create arc shapes quickly without manipulating nodes. Three points are required to
draw the smooth curves.

h. Artistic Media tool (I)- It works like the freehand tool, it follows the mouse movements. But instead of a
simple curve, complex objects can be created in a variety of styles. This is suppose to make shapes looking
like they are drawn with a calligraphic pen, artistic brush and spray. The type of shape can be determined
with the property in the top left of the screen. This tool can be used for creating effects. It can quickly change
16
the look of a simple object, text or a line into a state of the art graphics.
The tool has five drawing modes: Preset, Brush, Sprayer, Calligraphic and Expression.

It can be used in 2 ways-

• Draw with it as Freehand tool is used. Click and drag to create lines.
• Select an existing object, such as a line or circle, and apply one of the Artistic Media Tool
strokes to it.
• Artistic media tool is used in 5 different modes-
a) Preset Tool: Preset tool is the first tool among the five drawing modes of artistic media tool.
Once the preset tool is active on the click of artistic tool in the tool box, drawing preset stroke
can be used like Freehand tool into any shape. These strokes can be further modified by
applying different colors and changing the size of it. Its composed of already customized
settings for brush tips.

17
b) Brush Tool: The second tool among the five drawing modes of artistic media tool is called
“Brush”. Once the Brush tool is active, brush stokes can be used to draw any shape wanted. It is
also possible to modify it by changing the size of the strokes and applying the brush strokes on
various basic shapes. Different categories under the Brush section of artistic media tool are
available as scroll, object, sensual, symbol, artistic, splatter, Calligraphy & texture.

c) Spray tool: Sprayer is the third artistic tool which appears when the artistic tool is active in the
tool box. It’s strokes give the designer an easy hand to design the layouts and even convert such
strokes into sizable objects to meet the requirements. Like preset and brush tool, modification of
the stroke is possible by way of coloring it and changing its size.
These strokes can be adjusted into various objects by breaking them apart using Ctrl+K. The
various modifications like rotation, spray order, size etc. can be applied on the strokes.

d) Calligraphic Tool: Calligraphic tool enables to make free hand strokes and modify them by
adding color, changing color and size. Freehand smoothing allows us to smooth the curves as
created. Stroke width is used for increasing the width of the objects. Calligraphic angle enables to
determine the angle of calligraphic objects created.

e) Expression Tool: Pressure tool makes the pressure, width, tilt and styles features active to vary
brush strokes. This tool is used to vary the size of the nib. Tilt tool is used to vary the flatness of
the nib and pen bearing is used to determine the rotation of the nib.

18
i. Smart drawing tool- The Smart drawing tool tries to guess what is to be drawn and draws it for the
user. An object is sketched, just like with the Freehand tool. But after the mouse button is released, it
guesses what kind of geometry the sketch represents. It has further options linked with it to draw both
lines and curved segments as Shape recognition level (for the closest recognition of the object shape; it
ranges between None to Highest level), Smart smoothing level ( for the smoothness of the predicted
shapes; it also ranges between None to Highest level), shape width and Line style.

19
 Drawing Rectangles & Squares
1. It is one of the most basic shape drawn in the Corel Draw.

2. Rectangle tool (F6)- Rectangle is drawn by dragging diagonally with the Rectangle tool
selected from the tool flyout. It is dragged in the working window until the rectangle of the
desired size is drawn. Then the left mouse button is released. The options bar contains a lot of
information as centre co-ordinates, Height & width, Scaling factor, angle of rotation, Mirror
imaging in both horizontal & Vertical directions and different corner modification options,
outline width and outline styles either for the already created & selected rectangle or preset
for the new to be drawn rectangles. By double clicking the rectangle tool, the rectangle of the
size of drawing page can be drawn.

3. 3- point rectangle- Its used to draw the rectangles at different angles. To draw a rectangle at
an angle, click the 3 point rectangle tool . In the drawing window, point to where to start the
rectangle, drag to draw the width, and release the mouse button. Move the pointer to draw the
height, and click.
4. Squares- It can be drawn by holding Ctrl + Rectangle tool or giving equal dimensions for
height and width for the already drawn rectangle, when selected.
5. Types of corners-
• Round corner
• Scalloped corner
• Chamfered corner
20
 • Rounding produces a curved corner, scalloping replaces the corner with an edge that has a
curved notch and chamfering replaces the corner with a straight edge also known as a bevel.

• To draw rectangles or squares with rounded, scalloped or chamfered corners, the corner size
is to be specified. For rounding or scalloping a corner, the corner size determines the corner
radius. The radius is measured from the curve’s center to its perimeter. Higher corner size
values produce more rounded corners or deep scalloped corners.

• The size value for chamfering a corner represents the distance to set where the chamfer will
begin in relation to the original corner. Higher corner size values produce a longer chamfered
edge.
• The change in the radius for the corners (for left and right both together or individually for
left upper, left bottom, right top and right bottom), line style and line width.

21
 The squares can also be drawn with all the details as the rectangles by holding the Ctrl key
from the keyboard.

22
 Drawing Ellipse & Circle
1. Ellipse tool (F7)- Ellipse is drawn by dragging diagonally with the Ellipse tool selected
from the tool flyout. It is dragged in the working window until the ellipse of the desired
size is drawn. Then the left mouse button is released. The options bar contains a lot of
information as centre co-ordinates, Height & width (as major and minor axes), Scaling
factor, angle of rotation, Mirror imaging in both horizontal & Vertical directions and
also, options for Arc & Pie shapes, outline width and outline styles either for the already
created & selected ellipse or preset for the new to be drawn ellipses.
Hold down Shift to draw the ellipse from the centre.

2. 3-point ellipse- In the toolbox, click the 3-point ellipse tool. In the drawing window,
drag to draw the centerline of the ellipse at the angle desired. The centerline runs
through the center of the ellipse and determines its width. Move the pointer to define
the height of the ellipse and click. This helps to draw ellipse at different angles.

3. Circle- It can be drawn by holding Ctrl + ellipse tool or by giving equal dimensions for
height and width for the already drawn circle when selected.
4. Arc & Pie shapes- In the toolbox, click the Ellipse tool . Click the Arc button on the
property bar. Drag in the drawing window until the arc is the shape wanted.
In the toolbox, click the Ellipse tool. Click the Pie button on the property bar. Drag in
the drawing window until the pie is of the shape desired. These shapes are provided
with additional options of “starting & ending angles”, “change the direction” options in
23 clockwise and anti-clockwise directions. To draw an arc, the ellipse or circle must have
an outline.
24
 Drawing Polygons, Stars, Spirals, Graph sheets

1. Polygon (Y)- To draw a polygon, open the Object flyout, click the Polygon tool and drag in
the drawing window until the polygon of desired size is obtained. Also, you can draw a
symmetrical polygon by holding down Ctrl as you drag. The polygon Tool draws 3 to 500
sided polygons. Select the number of sides in the active property bar, click and drag
to draw the polygon. The polygons are drawn with the different types of line widths and line
styles. The polygons can be manipulated with “convert to curve” option for the independent
node manipulation. All the options related to the object manipulations are available for use.

2. Star- To draw a perfect star or complex star, click the Star tool and drag in the drawing
window until the star is the size wanted. Two types of stars: perfect stars, which have a
traditional star appearance and complex stars, which have intersecting sides can be drawn
from this tool. The options tool bar show the following dedicated options for the stars-
Number of points or sides (to increase the number of sides in the star), sharpness (to adjust
the sharpness of both the types of stars- lower sharpness values are related to the blunt sides
of star & higher values of sharpness are related to the sharpened and indented sides of star),
outline width, Convert to curves, Line style and other common properties for shapes.

25
3. Spiral (A)- The Spiral Tool enables to make different types of spirals with just a few clicks.
Click and drag on the workspace to create spiral of desired size. Hold your Ctrl key to create
a spiral with a circular shape, otherwise, a non-circular spiral shape is drawn. Hold your SHIFT
key down to draw spiral from the center.
26
The different properties of spirals include-
a) Number of spirals revolutions or concentric rings to change the number of rings from the centre.
b) 2 types of spirals can be drawn- Symmetrical & Logarithmic spirals. Symmetrical spiral helps to draw
the spiral which is able to draw a symmetrical spiral with equal spacing between the whirls. Logarithmic
spiral helps to increase or decrease the space between the revolutions in a systematic manner. It is
further supported by a special option of spiral expansion factor (This helps to change the rate at which a
new spiral expands as it move outwards).
c) Outline style and outline width
d) Start and end arrows
e) Close curves- Its used to close the open spirals by joining the start and end points of the spirals to add
different types of fills.

27
4. Graph paper (D)- It is used to draw graph pape
s or grids for different uses. The graphs can be positioned both the horizontally or vertically as
dragged in the working window. The different poptions available are-
• Number of columns and rows- It should be pre set before drawing the graph. The graph will be
drawn with all the cells of equal size. But if required, the cells, columns or rows can be sized
according to the requirement. For this, Select the whole graph> right click> choose ungroup all>
then either select a single cell or shift + select a number of cells to resize. The separate cells can
then be selected using pick tool and dragging around the cells to regroup as a single object.
• Outline width and outline style.
•Outline color option from the default color palette- Use Right click to give the outline to the
graph.

28
 Drawing common shapes
The different types of common shapes include-
• Basic shapes
• Arrow shapes
• Flow chart shapes
• Banner shapes
• Callout shapes
The different shapes can be used for magazine drawing, cartoon drawing, newspaper articles etc. The
options available in the options bar are the same as other drawing shapes.

29
 Impact drawing tool
1. The Impact tool extension helps to create graphic effects in a style inspired by comic books
and contemporary illustrations. Such effects are perfect for adding impact, movement or
focus to designs or illustrations.
2. Various properties are-
a. Two impact effect styles are available: Radial and Parallel.
b. Radial effects can be used to add perspective or bring focus to a design element.
c. Parallel effects can be used to add energy or signify motion.
d. Click the Outer Boundary or Inner boundary buttons and then click the vector shape to
constrain the effect within.
e. Rotation of the vector shapes
f. Start and end points within the vector shape- To start and end all lines at the edges of the
boundaries or randomly within the boundaries.
g. Setting the minimum and maximum width of the lines in the effect.
h. Random or adjust the width steps between the maximum and minimum width of lines.
i. Setting the line spacing as minimum and maximum.
j. 4 styles for the lines are available.
k. Setting up the position of the widest point on the line.

30
31
 Object Transformations
The transformations of the objects is related to the change in the position, angle, size etc.
of the selected objects or the duplicate copies of the selected objects leaving the original
objects unchanged.

Methods used to transform objects-

• Using the mouse & pick tool
• The Free Transform tools
• The Property Bar
• The Transform toolbar
• The Transformation Docker

1. Use of mouse- The mouse and pick tool together forms the quickest and most intuitive
way to transform objects but it is not recommended if transformation of an object with
precision is required. It transforms the objects interactively.
Steps-
a. Select an object by using the Pick tool.
b. The bounding box of the object appears. The bounding box includes eight selection
handles that helps to perform sizing, stretching and mirror imaging the objects. If the
object is clicked again, new handles appear. These handles are used to rotate and skew
the object.
32
 2. To transform objects interactively using the Free Transform Tools-
Use of free transform tool from the pick tool drop down list to activate a option bar.
Steps-
a. Click the Shape Edit flyout in the Toolbox.
b. Click the Free Transform tool.
c. Click one of the following tools on the Property Bar:
• Free Rotation tool
• Free Angle Reflection tool
33
• Free Scale tool
 • Free Skew tool
• Select the object to transform.
This method only works for rotating, mirroring, scaling and skewing objects in a free
manner without any precision or accuracy i.e. randomly.

3. The Property Bar- It helps to provide the options related to objects to be manipulated or
transformed. It is used to scale, rotate and mirror the objects vertically & horizontally by
giving the precise data or values in the value boxes.

4. The Transform toolbar- It is activated from Windows menu> toolbars> Transform

The different options available in this toolbar are- Scale factor (Scaling of the object by %),
rotation (angle of rotation) , skew angle (slanting the object both horizontally & vertically
according to a skew angle), Apply to duplicate (to apply the transformation to the duplicate)
and Relative object.
34
35
5. The Transformation Docker- The transform docker has a number of options for object
transformations. Its called docker because the option list is docked towards the right panel of
the working space. It is used to give precise and fixed transformations to the objects.
It can be located from a number of options (according to the version of Corel Draw used)-
• Arrange menu OR Object menu > Transformations
• Windows menu > Dockers > Transform
• Alt + F7 (opens the docker)

36
The various transformations available are-
• Position
• Rotate
• Mirror
• Size and scale
• Skew
a) Position (Alt + F7)- It positions the object according to the required destination and direction
within the page. If this transformation is not used, then the selected objects can be positioned
by using either the mouse or even the directional keys of the keyboard. The different sub-
options of position include-
Relative movement w.r.t the current position of the object.
Positioning the objects along the horizontal & vertical axes.
Number of copies required with the same position transformation
Transformation of the object according to the selected handle or point of the object selected.
• The relative as well as absolute distance can be given for the object positioning according to
the chosen cardinal points. The minimum and increased distance can be given in the X & Y
co-ordinates.
• By default, on choosing the position directions, the length/ width/ or both for the objects are
displayed. The distance of reposition is given either according to the relative position or
absolute distance required.

37
38
b) Rotate (Alt + F8)- It helps to rotate the selected objects according to the pre defined angles
either in clockwise or anti-clockwise directions. The angles can be easily increased or
decreased. It is used in making floral patterns. The different options available-
• Angle of rotation- It is changed according to the desired angles for the selected objects. It can
be given according to the default object centre or any chosen HANDLE of the object. The
non- centre chosen handle remains fixed and the rest of the object rotate according to the
chosen handle as centre.
• Centre of rotation- It can be chosen according to the direction in which the object is to be
rotated.
• Number of copies required- If the rotation is to be given to the duplicates of the selected
object.
• Rotation and positioning of object can be done together- It is used when the object is to be
rotated and positioned at the same time.

39
c) Scale & Mirror (Alt + F9)- This option provides 2 transformations- Rotation & Scaling

• Mirror- This option helps to apply 2 directions of mirror imaging effect; In horizontal
direction & Vertical direction (both can work independently).
• Scale- This option helps to scale up or down the chosen image in X (horizontal ) and Y
(Vertical direction). The selected image can be scaled proportionally in both the directions or
independently & differently (non-proportionally) in both the directions. The scaling is carried
out relative to the original dimensions of the selected objects.
• The position of the mirrored image or scaled image can be positioned according to the chosen
direction.
• The transformations can be applied on the duplicates as well to get the geometrical
arrangement of objects as desired.

40
d) Size (Alt + F10)- It helps to change the size of the selected objects by exact measurements
rather than relative as with the SCALE option.
• The size can be in X & Y directions (in the selected measurement units).
• Proportional or non-proportional size change is possible in the X & Y directions.
• The direction of size change can also be selected from the grid carrying the directional handles.
• It is used for making different types of borders, frames and outlines around the selected objects
and images.
• The size transformation can be applied to the multiple copies of the objects.

41
e) Skew- This option helps to stretch the object either in horizontal or vertical or both the
directions simultaneously.
• Duplicate copies can be easily created for the transformation.
• Anchor point can be selected on the object around which the skewing will take place.
