This question was asked here before, but the question did not address the particular behavior I'm trying to find in CorelDraw.
I have buttons with a consistent border style. I want to be able to change a single border style and have that change reflected in all groups that use that border style.
In Photoshop, I accomplish this using a Smart Object which contains a rounded rectangle with a specific outline color and width. I have seven buttons that use this Smart Object background in their respective group. Instead of editing each of my seven buttons, I modify any one of the Smart Object backgrounds, for example changing the radius of the rectangle or the outline style, and all groups are updated simultaneously. This is a real time saver, aside from ensuring consistency between all the buttons.
What does CorelDraw have that is like that?
I never use it but I've read about clone. How does it compare to the smart object? All I can say about Photoshops smart objects is AWFUL. It might be ok for small files but it seems we always get the in 600meg + files and damn! They suck!
As I said I never use clones and my only experience with smart objects is when they seem to be used in an unintelligent manner.
