CorelDRAW 2017 Line Ends / arrows

Line Ends / arrows

MeridenJohn over 4 years ago

I've learned how to make my own line ends / arrow heads. However CorelDraw puts them at the end of the list of built in line ends.

Is there a way to change the order of the line ends?

OR

Is there a way to delete all the built in line ends and only use the ones I like?

Thanks

John

Just edit the .dot file with notepad by wiping out all default entries and keeping your custom ones. If done correctly, you can have it list all of your custom line patterns only. Make sure to back up the original file just in case.

here is an example of one line pattern:

<stdPattern><dotLength>16</dotLength><dotLength>4</dotLength><dotLength>4</dotLength><dotLength>4</dotLength><dotLength>5</dotLength><dotLength>3</dotLength></stdPattern>

The pattern entries must be enclosed in the <patternlist> and </patternlist>.

good luck.
