Use the property bar to edit the rectangle

The property bar lets you make changes to a drawing quickly. Because property bars are context-sensitive, their contents change depending on the tool you select to perform a task. For example, when you click the Rectangle tool, the property bar displays boxes and buttons that let you change the size of rectangles.

The property bar lets you set the properties of the selected object with precision. For example, you can set the amount of roundness of a rectangle's corners.

In the procedure below, you will change the outline width of the rectangle by using the Rectangle's property bar.

Change the outline width

1. In the toolbox, click the Pick tool.
2. Click the rectangle. Unless you move it, the property bar is located at the top of your screen, just below the Standard toolbar.
3. On the property bar, choose 8 pt size from the Outline width list box . The outline width changes.

Set the roundness of the rectangle corners

1. Select the rectangle by using the Pick tool.
2. Ensure that the Round corners together button appears pressed on the property bar. This will ensure that a setting applied to one corner applies to the others.
3. Type 50 in one of the Rectangle corner roundness boxes .
4. Press Enter.

Next, you will modify the text using another CorelDRAW® 10 tool: the toolbar.
