Hi! To use the Boundary tools, to make objects connected outside a circle works fine. But when I want to make objects inside a circle, it does not work. No matter what i try, it does not workHas anybody a solution to this, or is it simply not possible?
Regards ;-)
People might be able to offer advice if you showed some pictures with an example of (1) what you are starting with and (2) what you want for a result.
Could be so. But I did not post pictures, as I thought the description said the most.
If you take an object (box or other circle, or any other object) and link it to the Circles line, outside, and then use the Boundary tool, you will could have "holes" where the object was, outside the circle. But if the same objects are placed inside the circle, it's not possible to so to say, make an inner "hole".

Boundary would not make an "inner hole" like that. That's not the way that Boundary works.
If you want the rectangle to "take a bite out of" the circle, then you should look at other shaping tools in CorelDRAW (e.g., Trim, Back Minus Front, Front Minus Back).
In some situations, the Smart Fill tool might also be used to achieve that type of result.
In cases, it's somtimes easier (for me, in what I'm doing), to use the Boundary tools. So I hoped, that it was a possibilty, to could use it inside a circle (and why not?).So I must continue with "front minus back", which I sometimes use, even I feel it's a bit more time consuming.
use the Trim command, see attached.
