I want to know why CorelDraw won't let me select several curves at a time and break them apart simultaneously. When I select more than one (by marquee or shift key) it greys out the "break apart" command, and Control-K won't work either. I did find a work-around macro in an old post, but I don't understand why the CorelDraw programmers turn off the break-apart command for multiple selections. Anyone have some insight on this? What is the easiest work-around?
as long as it isn't text, you could combine, then break apart.
Mike Ver Duin said: as long as it isn't text, you could combine, then break apart.
This is probably the best method. Even if it is text, as long as you have 1 item in the selection that is a curve shape it will work.
If it's all text the weld, then break apart.

Thanks Mike, this works - sure am curious why Corel did not program a comand for multiple entities . . .
Also, John: thanks for the additional tip.
This is excellent and works first select all the objects then combine them to make one object, after that you can break all line apart as normal.Thanks this helped me a lot.
