create Spray help needed.

Hello,

I made a spray of a row of easter eggs. I saved it to the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4\Draw\CustomMediaStrokes\SprayLists\Draw\Abstract and is show up in the list and works as a brush stroke which makes for list of my image when I use it. It works but it paints four rows instead of one.  

I think I need to make it a spray to do only one line but I can't figure out where to save it as for a spay.

HELP?  I wanted to make ABC letter of Easter egg and felt a brush would make the easier so I can attach to patch of object but I don't want four rows when I paint. Only one.

Please advice
Thanks
Kimberly

  • Open the Artistic Media docker, under Window/Dockers. Open your drawing of easter eggs line. Drag the object to the docker's list, it will prompt ypu asking if you want to use it as a brush or as a spray list

        Glad to see you find a solution.

        Perhaps I must publish a book also Big Smile but smaller, a pocket book, all in a few steps

      • When I do it this way I loose the easter egg look on the letters. I know how to make text fix to a patch. Can I do the with an object? Make the object fit a path?  

        Thanks

        • If you want to create letters with easter eggs, you must create yor alphabet and drag as a spay list

          If you want to apple an easter egg list around a text, you must create a list of eatser eggs and apply to a text as an outline

          • I want to make the letter E for example and make the eggs attach to the E to make a E out of easter egg. When I drag the eggs lose their shape when they attack to the letter E. So I going to read up on snap to see if that a possible way.

             

            Never mind, I think I got it figure out what, I have several eggs groups together and I going to have to do each egg seperate.

            • Well. I don't know exactly what is your idea, but if you want to apply an outline to the letter remember that you must to convert to curves (Ctrl+Q)

              • That is example is what I am trying to do. With the grass or some of the other premade sprays it does work perfectly, however with the easter eggs I made it not working right. I has to be something I doing wrong with my graphics.

                I getting the idea, I think I need more practice!
