You can have one inch on your screen equal one inch of "real" distance. This lets you work with real-world distances as opposed to relative distances that depend on screen resolution. This tool is particularly useful when you work with signs or draw in 1:1 zoom mode.
Before you can perform this procedure, you must have a clear plastic ruler for comparing real-world and on-screen distances. This ruler should use the same unit of measure that you set for the CorelDRAW rulers. For information about ruler settings, see Rulers.
To calibrate the rulers to real-world distance |
1 . | Click Tools Options Tools. |
2 . | Click Zoom/Pan. |

4 . | Place a clear plastic ruler under the on-screen horizontal ruler. |
5 . | Click the up or down arrows on the Horizontal box to match one unit of measure on the on-screen ruler with one unit of measure on the actual ruler. |
6 . | Place the ruler beside the on-screen vertical ruler. |
7 . | Click the up or down arrows on the Vertical box to match one unit of measure on the on-screen ruler with one unit of measure on the actual ruler. |
