At its first look, the screen may intimidate you but need not worry, our lecture will clear the maze and explain every functionality in the easiest way. You will see the basic options that will open the document and help to customize the size, dimensions as per your project requirement. Later we look into many tools that are used to create documents, refine them or redefine the dimensions or modes of the project and discuss in brief about tool sets used for drawing, color correction or image editing purposes. We will discuss at length about these topics in the upcoming sections of the course.
Tools
After the introduction to User Interface window, the course will start taking you across the numerous tools and functions of the software. It is highly important to gain command over these parts of the application to see yourself as a master in CorelDraw. We start with the Shape Tools initially and take you through almost every tool to give you optimum information about the same.
- Shape Tool: With the help of the Shape Tools you will be able to create and draw the shapes of any look and dimensions as you intend to have it. The group of Shape tools can help you design shapes in perfect geometry which would be next to impossible to create manually. Equally, it helps you dynamically edit the drawn shapes by providing ease and control over every part of the drawing.
- Pick Tool: This tool is majorly used for two purposes in CorelDraw. Through the lectures focusing on pick tool, you will learn how to select and independent object on your workspace or choose an object from the group of objects and to change the position of the selected object by moving it adjusting it through the selection handles. Above that, you will also see some objects may have the nodes in various areas around the selection. You will learn the complete information about the tool in this lecture.
- Crop-Knife-Erase Tools:The lectures about these tools will concentrate on how to edit the object or an image using these editing tools. You can choose to have a part of an image and expunge the rest of the image or portion of your project quickly without saving it into another file or project. Or you can erase an object, color or any other element of a file. You will know how to handle these conditions with the help of the Crop tool, Knife tool, and Erase tool. We will open many possibilities of using these tools during this lecture.
- Virtual Segment Delete Tool:The tool is used to delete a specific portion of the objects mostly where the objects are overlapping with other objects in the design. Besides that, the tool will also delete the overlapping paths where the path intersects with other objects. The two important functions of the tools will be known during this lecture.
- Free Hand: You will know how to move the image without disturbing the positions and the size of the objects and the design. Freehand tool helps you to move your workspace around accessing easy methods of working quick on every part of your document.
- Zoom Tools: The zoom tools with help you easily navigate through your workspace by working on the details through zooming in and out of the design. You will see various methods of using the zoom tools including the hot keys and mouse scrolling techniques.
- Bezier Tools: With the Bezier tools, you will know how to wind up the curved path segments and adjust a path of a curve or a shape objects by using Bezier handles. The lecture includes many methods of using Bezier tools and to what extent hotkeys can also help to select and work on Bezier tools.
- Artistic Media Tools: This is one of the important tools helps you add a visual appearance to the paths. You will learn how to apply muscle to a path through the five different types of Artistic Media Brushes.
Smart Fill and Smart Drawing:
Smart fill tool can be explained as half of intersection shaping command and half of auto fill utility command. We will teach how you can use the smart fill tool in various methods when you are working on overlapping shapes mostly with two or more objects. We will take you through multiple conditions as B-Spline, Polygon, and 3 Point curves in various lectures.
- Rectangle Tool, Star Tool, 3 Point Eclipse tool
We will show you how simple it is to create a rectangle in CorelDRAW. However you will also know how to create a rectangle in various methods using the mouse, defining the mathematical dimensions, Rounded rectangles, unevenly rounded rectangle and the hotkey model. Equally, we discuss the polygon tool, Star tool, 3 point eclipse tool and another form of geometry tools and their preferences.
- Graph Paper and Spiral Tools:
In a detailed lecture about creating Graph paper copies by arranging equal number and sizes of Columns and Rows. You will learn many invaluable techniques in creating chart making and artistic application of the same. Besides graph paper tool, you will also learn about the spiral tool and its preferences including the various variants as symmetric and logarithm spiral tools.
