I've been admiring some incredible work on the galleris here, especially Tatsyana's, and can't figure out how she does it. I haven't used the tool much but when I play with it, getting the node to lay where you want them is like trying to herd cats.
Anyone know of any good tutorials that show how to control these nodes once you lay them down?
Ted, if you are talking about the Bezier tool, as of v.X4 there is a pretty good description in the help files of how the tool works. The rest of it is pretty much practice, practice, practice, I found that no tutorial can really explain what you learn by practicing when it comes to the Bezier tool. Also play with the S key and the C key while placing nodes, one will switch between Symetric and Smooth and the other will make your node3 a cusp, this features are not explained in the help files as far as I know of.
Wow Alfred! Great tip! I've been using Corel since version 3 and I never new you could do that with the S and C keys. I always use cusp nodes and was wondering why I couldn't set that as a default. Now I can just hold down the C key.
Thanks a bunch!

gee Alf you're right, thanks. the s and c key are great. i'm using CD 11 for Mac and i'm still discovering hidden features on it.
Also, the L key will convert a node to Line.
(I wonder why the S key toggles between Smooth and Symmetrical, but gives me a Windows error beep in the process).
