The Bezier and Pen tools let you draw lines one segment at a time by placing each node with precision and controlling the shape of each curved segment. This tool also allows you to create straight lines that are perpendicular or tangent to objects. You can draw straight lines by using the 2-point line tool. However, the Polyline tool is easier to use for quickly drawing a complex line that consists of alternating curved and straight segments and allows you to draw in preview mode. The Freehand tool lets you control the smoothness of the curved line you are drawing as well as add segments to an existing line. The Curve Tool Fly-out that lets you create both curved and straight line segments. Now we can move on to the various curve tools available in CorelDRAW. While there are a number of other tools available, we will save them for future tutorials that will allow us to better focus on them. For the purpose of this tutorial, we will only be looking at the freehand tool.

Now that we understand the various types of nodes in CorelDRAW, we can look at the tools used to create objects and then look at how to modify these objects by adding nodes and using the various types of nodes to make the necessary adjustments.

Making a straight segment curved does not noticeably change the segment’s appearance, but it displays control handles that you can move to change the segment’s shape. You can make a curved segment straight or a straight segment curved. Line nodes let you shape curve objects by changing the shape of their segments. The control handles of symmetrical nodes are directly opposite each other and at an equal distance from the node. They create a smooth transition between line segments, but they also let you give lines on both sides of a node the same curve appearance. Symmetrical nodes are similar to smooth nodes. The control handles of a smooth node are always directly opposite one another, but they may be at different distances from the node. With smooth nodes, the lines passing through the node take on the shape of a curve, producing smooth transitions between line segments. You can move the control handles in a cusp node independently of one another, changing only the line on one side of the node. This node pictured is what a cusp node would look like.Ĭusp nodes let you create sharp transitions, such as corners or sharp angles, in a curve object. The Shape tool is the standard tool for moving an manipulating nodes. The figure below shows what a node would look like if selected with the Shape tool. Once properly mastered, the use of these tools will make design creation simple and accurate.īefore looking at the various curve tools available in CorelDRAW, we must look at the types of nodes that can be created, and how they are controlled. The curve tools include: the Freehand tool, the 2-Point Line tool, the Bezier tool, the Artistic Media tool, the Pen tool, the B-Spline tool, the Polyline tool, and the 3-Point Curve tool. In this Tutorial, we will look at the Curve Tool Flyout. While similar features might be available in previous releases the tutorial will be fully applicable to CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 only.ĭrawing objects in CorelDRAW is accomplished by using a variety of tools found in the Toolbox. This tip has been written for CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite X5.
