CorelDRAW X6 Is it possible to join 3 lines' nodes to make a 1 node corner without converting Outlines to Objects?

Is it possible to join 3 lines' nodes to make a 1 node corner without converting Outlines to Objects?

I recreated an Ambihelical Hexnut ( http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/eps-gif/AmbihelicalHexnut_600.gif ),
a Penrose Staircase ( http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/eps-gif/PenroseStairway_700.gif ),
and a Penrose Triangle ( http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/eps-gif/PenroseTriangle_500.gif ).

Is it possible to join the 3 lines that make the illusion of a 3D corner, ie join 3 nodes to make a 1 node corner with 3 lines, without converting the Outlines to Objects?

Thanks!

Hello mulberi: You are using the wrong program ( X6 ) if you want to play with 3D objects......You could use Corel Cad for 3D drawings.
But in CorelDRAW you could join nodes together to make one object.

Hi George

Thanks for responding.
I'm not trying to create a 3D object, it's just an illusion on a flat print surface. :) You'll see the corners I mean in the links I set out: 3 lines join to make a corner, how do I make 3 nodes into 1 node - without converting to Object - so I don't have a clunky corner?

Hey there,
Zoom in very close and enable snap to objects (Alt+Z) and snap the nodes exactly on top of each other. Once they are all aligned select them all and Combine them into one shape. (Ctrl+L)

Once combined hit F12 for line options

See if that helps

Good luck

Hey Chris

Thanks for responding. I'm trying your suggestion but the nodes just won't play nice. I'm going to smack them upside the head very soon.

Hey Mulberi,

Make sure your Snap to objects is on, now try moving the nodes far away from each other then pick them up again and snap them ontop of each other.

The attached CDR File has two lines snapped to each other then combined into one object.Untitled-1.cdr
