Hello CorelDraw forum!
Question: How do I join triangles and squares so that they are symmetrical?
I have a customer for whom I am designing a business card. I am having to reset the business card from a scanned image.
The business card has got angles and triangles on it. Some of the angles have fills. Others do not.
I can use the Shape tool and trace the scanned image of my customer's business card. However, some of the angles are mirrored on either end of the business card. If I trace the scanned image it would be hard to get the angles right.
Basically, can someone point me how, or give me a few pointers about how, to work with triangles? I need to join triangles together at angles and so forth so that the business card looks symmetrical.
I would appreciate any assistance.
Thanks.
Care to show us? I'm not sure what you are saying.
One way to make a symmetrical triangle is to start with a single line at the appropriate angle:
Duplicate it in place with the + key and flip the duplicate by holding the control key and moving that centre left handle across to the right. The control key will snap it as an exact mirror:
The result:
You now need to combine those two lines to a single object and join the bottom (with snap to objects on), right click with the shape tool to close the curve and should then have a symmetric, fillable triangle:
