Precision is essential when you work with technical graphics. With Corel DESIGNER, you can create precise objects and position them accurately by using gravity snapping, constrain keys, dynamic guides, and object coordinates.
When you draw or modify objects, gravity snapping lets you specify the exact placement of a point. If you want to constrain an object to a particular shape as you draw, or control the angle of lines, you can use constrain keys. For example, when drawing a rectangle, you can use constrain keys so that the rectangle is drawn as a square.
You can use these features for all drawing and editing operations. For example, before rotating an object, you can snap the center point to the corner of another object and then rotate the object around that point.
Dynamic guides, which are temporary guidelines that you can display from eligible snap points in objects, help you draw and position objects with precision. In addition, you can draw and modify objects by specifying object coordinates.
