Dear Members,

Let us get into the details of Envelope effect. We will try straight-line option. Once you get the result you will automatically understand why it is called straight line. The effect is carried out using straight lines.

  1. Open Corel DRAW.
  2. Type the text, say “Corel”. Stretch it to make it bigger. Keep it selected.
  3. Effects > Envelope
  4. You get a docker to your right side on the desktop with the envelope options.
  5. There are four icons above the drop down menu.
  6. The first icon is “Straight Line” Click it.
  7. Stretch top center node upwards.
  8. You will notice that the text is stretched up in the middle and the envelope forms straight lines (in the form of dotted line) to both the sides of the center node, which you stretched just now.
  9. Stretch any node and you will find the envelope is working with Straight lines only and it is not forming curve at any point.
