Hello,
since yome years in CorelDraw there is a "new" smooth tool with that you can smooth a path manually by click the area you want to smooth.
On the other hand there is the smoothing function (and also "smoothen" with certain value as a possible macro) and the reduction of nodes function.
In my experience the manual smooth tool does not change enough of the shape or has nor real advantage over the other two/three mentioned functions. But I am not sure whether I perhaps did not understand the new smooth tool correctly.
Which setting do you use for the smooth tool to e.g. not only reduce the nodes but also make a small bump out of a line?
It seems to me it's easier to e.g. delete a node in such a line or choose a smoothing factor rather than working with the smooth tool.
thank you for some opinions or hints.
It depends on what you are trying to do, I think, and how bad it is.Most of the times I start with the automatic "Reduce nodes".If that doesn't work well enough I might try either Curve smoothness with different values or the Smooth tool, or sometimes I just clean it up manually.
Thank you - just discovered that the size also has an impact on power of the tool, did not think about this.
