    Hi!

    I'm designing a catalog with some prices, every product have a code. Working with layers, I can group 3 objects: A produtc photo, the price and the code. So I rename the group to the code of especified product.

  • Layers

    When I open file "A" the layer defaults to "Layer 1". When I open ad "B" the layer defaults to "desktop".

    What is causing this?  ..... I would like every ad to open with a Layer 1 default. How is this done?

    Thanks…

  • Linking Dimension Lines to Object on Another Layer

    We like to put our dimension lines in CorelDraw 5 on separate layers from the objects being dimensioned.  This way we can turn the dimensions ON/OFF depending on our needs.  Unfortunately, we find that the dimensions for these objects do not move with the…

  • Re: Layers

    Nope..The objects or not in the master page. I did just notice that there is 2 desktops...one in master and one in page 1.

    Noticed you can drag the layer 1 above the desktop layer and it then becomes the default layer.

    I've moved all objects from the…

  • Re: Linking Dimension Lines to Object on Another Layer

    Hello Synauxcc, thank you for the reply.  I have uploaded an example of the problem.  Normally, we use dimensions on floor plans, but this simple filing cabinet drawer label example should suffice.  Notice the following observations:

  • Fonts with borders

    Hello

    I'm new to this group, I go by Keener, thanks for reading this.

  • Re: Layer Transparency

    Novel idea, Harry, thanks.  However, our testing seems to indicate that the transparency does not extend to the control object on the same layer.  When we do as you suggest, the page-size rectangle with the lens does reveal the underlying control object…

  • How to group objects that are the same color on single layer?

    Changing the color is not the problem.

    As a screen printer, I might need to underlay just a certain color, but not the whole piece of art. Sometimes the color I want to underlay is 50 different objects on a single layer and I am trying to select just…

  • Using layers efficiently...

    Hello,

    I've noticed that when you try to group or to copy/paste objects from various layers (using Edit Across Layer mode), the result belongs to the active layer.

    One of the big new features in CorelDRAW X4 was the ability to have different layers on each page of your document. Some uses have really appreciated this functionality, others have been very frustrated by it.

  • Better layer management

    The new layer setup in X4 is logical in that you can add layers individually, so you don't have to have lots of empty layers on all pages just because you use them on one page. However we lack managing power for layers. If you check the attachment you…

  • Go back to the X3 and earlier handling of master layers-also print page tabs

    I am befuddled as to why Corel changed the layer system to this clunky one in X4. The inability to apply master layers to all pages after pages have been created is silly and annoying. What in the world was Corel trying to fix with this new layer system…

  • Control layer stacking order for all pages

    I know we can change the stacking order of layers in the Object Manager/Layer Manager View. But I can't find an opportunity to change the stacking order of the layers for all pages at once, you seem to have to do that manually on each page. If only the…
