Dear everyone!
I am new to Corel Draw, and this is my first post on the Corel Community.
I start to create a Star shape, with a Power Clip of a nice Sea Texture, and then when i want to add a Bevel effect, the program didn't allow me to do that. so i try to flip, and too do first the Bevel and then to doo the Power Clip, but now the program didnt let me to do the Power clip, its poping up a message that i can’t do that to this kind of object.
So, My question is:
Does Corel Draw not allow to do both? or maybe it's a setting or a kind of bug?
Please help me to figger it out. [in other vector programs i fond this kinds of effects to work instantly and properly)
THANKS
(see images)
No sorry, Draw doesn't allow beveled objects to be used as powerclip containers.Probably because the bevel effect is in fact a bitmap effect.
A Bitmap effect?!
Corel Draw is for vecor or for Bitmaps? (not Photo Paint is for bitmaps?)
Sir, if this is true, is it a big limitation for a vector graphic program.
Now recognized, that also the Fountain Fill i got lost when i aply the Bevel.
Sory, but all Vector programs have a lot of instant Bevel and 3d effects with no limitations like that.
Will this limitation stay like that, or Corel plans to update that?
this is no problem - draw two star, one for powerclip, second above - for bevel. Apply small transparency for star with bevel. You got nice star with bevel and sea texture
Dear HotCoffee.
Welcome to CorelDraw and the community!
What you are asking about the Bevel effect. Firstable, CorelDRAW is a Vector based graphic program, in there is a lot of amazing tools for vector designing purposes. and yes! you will also found tools that you will not see in any other graphic application.
But, the Bevel tool (3D effects) question is an other story, and you are not the first one to Discuss that.

We hope that Corel will update that in the near future.
