New! Align and distribute nodes
Since it was introduced, the Align and Distribute docker has become an indispensable tool for technical graphics professionals because of the quick and easy access it offers to time-saving controls for positioning objects. In Corel DESIGNER 2018, those same precise alignment options can now be used for nodes. What used to be a slow, manual process can be achieved effortlessly in a few clicks. You can align nodes using the bounding box of a selection, the page edge or center, the closest grid line, or a specified point. What’s more, you can align nodes from different curves. Distributing nodes is just as easy. You can add equal spacing between them horizontally or vertically using the drawing page or a bounding box as the reference point. This feature is also available in CorelDRAW 2018.
New! Corner control in dashed lines and outlines
Corel DESIGNER 2018 give you more control over the appearance of corners in objects, text, and symbols that use dashed lines. In addition to the existing default setting that renders dashed lines exactly as drawn, you can choose from two new options to create perfectly designed and defined corners. The Align dashes option ensures that there’s no empty space in the corners and at the start and end of a line or outline by aligning dashes with the end and corner points. And the Fixed dashes option creates dashes in the end and corner points that are half the size of the first dash in the line pattern. This feature is also available in CorelDRAW 2018.
New! Fit objects to a path
In Corel DESIGNER 2018, you can fit any type and number of objects to a path of your choice. Smart spacing and rotation settings help you customize the arrangement of objects along the path. This feature is also available in CorelDRAW 2018.
