Click on the drawing page, and release the mouse button. Double-click to finish the line.Ĭlick the Preview mode button in the property bar. Continue this process until the line has as many segments as you want. If you want to create a jagged line, double-click where you want the new line segment to end. Double-click where you want to start the line. Open the Curve flyout, and click the Pen tool ^. If you want to create a multi-segment line, double-click where you want the new line segment to end. Open the Curve flyout, and click the Bezier tool ^. Double-click to end the line.ĭraw a straight line using the Bézier tool Click where you want to start the line segment, and click where you want to end the line segment.

For information about applying fills, see "Filling objects" on page 135.ġ Open the Curve flyout ^ t ■. After you draw a calligraphic or preset line, you can apply a fill to it as you would to any other object. A flower drawn by using three different artistic media lines: calligraphic lines (left) pressure-sensitive lines (center) and the lineflat preset line (right).ĬorelDRAW provides preset lines that let you create thick strokes in a variety of shapes. For information about using a pressure-sensitive pen on a graphics tablet, see the manufacturer's instructions. Both methods result in lines with curved edges and varying widths along a path. You can create this effect using the mouse or a pressure-sensitive pen and graphics tablet. Lines drawn at the calligraphic angle, however, have little or no thickness.Ī calligraphic pen allows you to draw lines of various thicknesses.ĬorelDRAW lets you create pressure-sensitive lines which vary in thickness. For example, when the line you draw is perpendicular to the calligraphic angle, the line is at the maximum thickness specified by the pen width.
You can control the thickness of a calligraphic line by changing the angle of the line you draw in relation to the calligraphic angle you choose. By default, calligraphic lines display as closed shapes drawn with a pencil. Calligraphic lines vary in thickness according to the direction of the line and the angle of the pen nib. You can draw multi-segment lines using the Bézier tool, by clicking each time you want the line to change direction.ĬorelDRAW also lets you simulate the effect of a calligraphic pen when you draw lines. For information about node types, see "Working with curve objects" on page 93. Some lines have nodes and control points that you can manipulate to shape lines as you draw.
You can draw a curved line by specifying its width (left), specifying its height (center), and clicking the page (right). You can also draw a curve by specifying width and height. You can draw straight or curved segments and then add one node at a time. You can create segments that are straight and curved in the same line. You can create a line that is drawn as you drag the mouse. CorelDRAW lets you draw all kinds of different lines, from curved or straight lines to calligraphic lines.
