Copying, converting, and removing outlines

CorelDRAW lets you copy outline properties to other objects.

You can also convert an outline to an object, and you can remove an outline. Converting an outline to an object creates an unfilled closed object with the outline’s shape. You can apply fills and special effects to the new object.
