Just 2 small request, but for me its will be very helpful (The second one is more Important' for better Layout possibility)
1) Please allow to Round the the BlockSHADOW tool.
2) Please allow to do Coustum ITALIC (also for a font that dosnt support it automatically)
THANKS A MILLION!
And i agree with all that claims that CorelDRAW needs very important more and better and more productive 3D and Bevel vector effects. Corel is very backdated in this important feature for a Graphics vector Program. Please giv us the possibility for that.
The rounded block shadow effect can already be achieved in Draw 2018, rather easily actually.Not a perfect match but as close as it can be (meaning that an automatic way to do it could not be any better).To do a replica of the "7", create the white object first.Add an outside outline with rounded corners and suitable width to the white object.Create a Block Shadow and enable "Generate from object outline" but leave "Expand block shadow" at 0,0 in Property Bar.Break the block shadow group apart and remove the outline from the white object.Tweak the green shadow if needed.Like I said, not a perfect match but there is no way it could be with an automatic "rounded block shadow tool" either.Zipped CDR attached.Anyway, I do agree that they could add the ability to round corners when creating an expanded block shadow.

Thanks for the tutorial about the BlockShadow, im not sure if its exactly what i want to do, but its of course better than nothing.
When im requesting about more text box features, im not asking for "fake bold and italics" like word processors aplications are does. im just asking for options that i found in all other "professional graphics software", and i want to see it in CorelDRAW, just because i need it for better layout possibility when im creating brochures and Magazines.
(underline and striketrough color, shear (coustom italic), horizontal and vertical scaling = also in a Text Box)
One of the amazing things of CorelDRAW is that its not only for professional graphics, its also for professional layout (to do both together - wher designing brochures etc.).

And thats exaktly for what im asking: give it approvement also in this line!
Thanks for everyone!
Interesting to see the other programs have that feature but it's still faking italic. You're still just "skewing" text. It's my understanding that when a font is designed there would be several font styles designed along with it. Regular, Italic, Bold/Black, Condensed and/or Extended etc. Not all fonts were made with those options so the best one can do is "fake" bold by adding an outline/stroke, fake italic by skewing, condense manually and so forth. The other programs may offer these options as "shortcuts" but I doubt that they are producing a "true" representation
Should it be Fake!
I am just requesting for a feature that i found in other "GRAPHIC VECTOR" programs, and it will be a greet idia if we will find it also in CorelDRAW...
And i am asking just for a "shortcut"... (but its not possible without this shortcut)
Just found this.

A text feature I would like to see is the ability of condense paragraph text.
