If you create an object in CorelDraw that is 5 x 5 inches. Then add a huge outline to it, the measurement still reads 5 x 5. In Illustrator there's a preference to measure just the main object, or to include the outlines in the measurement and control handles. Does CorelDraw have the same setting?
Hi Everybody,This may not be what was asked for -- but it's my variation for getting measurements of objects and outlines.I am usually interested in keeping the outline as a percentage of the object.
1. Set size of object and outline. Set outline on the outside of object2. Object > convert outline to object3. Group object and outline4. In Object Manager - switch from object to outline and look for size in the property bar.
It's possible to get variations on this but I have never tried any.
I put the above sequence on a tool bar so it goes faster than reading about it..
