Outline options for the Knife (Premium) tool

Premium feature

When you split an object by using the Knife (Premium) tool , CorelDRAW lets you choose whether to convert outlines to curve objects or keep them as outlines. By default, the application automatically chooses the option that best preserves outline appearance.

You can choose outlines options from the property bar.

When splitting objects that have dashed lines, arrowheads or end caps, the Convert to objects option preserves the outline appearance better. When you choose the Automatic option for such objects, CorelDRAW converts the outlines to objects.

Top: The outline (a dashed line with arrowheads in this example) was converted to objects after the split, preserving the original appearance. Bottom: The Keep outlines option was used, resulting in two lines with start and end arrowheads.
