it s the first time i work with coreldraw, i wanted to use an arrow, but i don't have the common shape tool
My common shapes tool is completely missing from my Corel 2019 application. I only realized this when I went to create an arrow and couldn't find any option for it. My coworkers all have theirs but mine is missing, not just grayed out or unavailable. Has anyone had this issue and corrected it?
Sounds like a corrupt (imported?) workspace.Right click the toolbox, then from the pop up menu Customize > Toolbox Toolbar > Reset to default.
after uninstalling and reinstalling was done by our system admin, and I started from scratch and made a whole new workspace, the issue is still persistent (and is not the only one, go figure). Is there a good way to gut my machine of any traces of my old workspace/ setup/ configurations for Corel? Or in your experience does the uninstall also clear all of those types of issues out as well?
What you showed in your screenshot looks like what I see if I activate the "Page Layout" workspace.
The Common Shapes command is not present in the Page Layout workspace. If you like using that particular workspace, but you also want Common Shapes, then you could add it using workspace customization.
If you activate the Default workspace, then Common Shapes should already be there in that flyout.
Eskimo, Thanks. I had the same problem of missing shapes and stars. I reset to default workspace. I know not why I was on the page layout workspace or how I managed to get there
