Hello,
I often use Clip Studio Paint and then import the SVG into CorelDraw which is normally very great!
Only, because I draw by Wacom pen and so just move my hand in reality, some lines start or (mostly) end with a little kind of going back with the pen.
So sometimes the path ends with a node which is either in the wrong direction or has a minimal size handle. So the handle has practically no sense, only that it leads to errors with the outline, for example when exporting to PNG or outlining the strokes to fill.
So my big hope is: can I find automatically all handles in the CorelDraw image that are very tiny, so below a certain size? (and rather highlight them than correct)
Is there perhaps already a function that I did not find?
Thank you.
(I only search a solution for the start and end nodes)
An alternative solution (or even better) would be to search, find and highlight all end nodes of a line that look into the wrong direction. So in many of the cases where I have too short handles, the two triangles also look both to inside the stroke. Perhaps there is a function in CorlelDraw or a macro that shows all end nodes that look directly back in the wrong direction?
those two images show how I get the nodes and then how I correct them manually.
I can write such a macro. Please send me a file with sample nodes that should be found at tv.softlv@gmail.com.(I'm running CorelDraw version 18).It is preferable to have several different false nodes in the file.I saw what you posted above, but the shapes at the end of the curve can be different. And I need to understand what exactly.Best regardsTaras
thank you. I don't have a file that I need a solution for, but I am just starting to import some files into CorelDraw, and before I start working with all that I saw that some end nodes are generated (in the other tool) in a SVG in that way that the end node looks "back into his own path". This is the first image, and the second image shows exactly the same path, but I just took the handle of the end node and put it on the other side so that the end node looks into the right direction. It seems that I don't have a problem with start nodes. So at the moment I don't have a file but just created a new line by the freehand tool and turned the end node in the opposite direction :) and then back..
So what I am searching for (now, after a few hours or days thinking about it...) is probably only: Search in CorelDraw for an end node that directed between 0° and something (5°?) into the same direction where it comes from. (or an end node of which the handle has the same direction (+/- 5°?) as the path direction.
after all I think it's the best to find a solution in the tool before CorelDraw, so Clip Studio. Perhaps I have to draw in a different way.
