Where can i get good very basic tutorials on Working with nodes? I have a CNC plasma cutter and use X5 for simple sign design, mostly wire frame and fonts. I'm having trouble working with the nodes. For example what are the red nodes or what ever they are called. I kind of understand the blue nodes, but would like to find a toutorial on making adjustments. Maybe i'm just to new or too old.
Thanks,
Rog
Rog,
I would suggest your first line of attack should be:
http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/ca/en/Content/1152796556718
and check out the tutorials.
I had been on the Corel tutorials, however i feel like they skip to much of the basics. I 'm very new to this so still figuring out the simple stuff they assume you should know.

Way back at version 10 I picked up a copy of CorelDraw - The Official Guide. Still use it, too.
Personally I don't like a lot of video tutorials - you have to follow along, stop them and start them, and sometimes zoom in. Videos are useful I guess for the task at hand, but they don't give you the basics or tie into the big picture. I had the same experience with PhotoShop - I had to make an effort to go back to the basics and strip away a lot of "everybody knows" stuff to relearn the program efficiently. I was working myself to death, and for no good reason.
Not trying to talk you out of it, just sayin' there's more than one way to skin a cat. It's what works for you and the way you learn that's important.
