The following object properties can be modified for symbol instances. If a symbol contains multiple objects, all objects in the symbol instance are treated collectively as a single object, just as if they were grouped.

 

Uniform transparency only. Can be modified in the Symbol section of the Properties docker.
Can be modified in the Summary section of the Properties docker. Can also be modified on the property bar. For more information, see To wrap paragraph text around an object, artistic text, or a text frame.

Most objects in CorelDRAW can be converted to symbols, with the following exceptions.

 

All related objects in the link group must be included in the symbol. For example, if an object has a drop shadow, you cannot convert the object without the drop shadow. Alternatively, you can break the group apart.

The features documented in the Help are available in the full version of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2020. Some features may not be available in this version of the product.
