Hi there,
I have a special task where I'd like to use my Corel Draw for: I have to "simulate" a bended wire. Let me explain it a bit better. I have nearly a half circle, more a not-perfect U. And I have to "bend" it, so that one end, along with all nodes up to the "bowl" of that circle is moved to the left. The opening of the circle will get wider and that bended end will end up lower as before. Similar to a thin U-shaped wire that is pulled on one end, but not on the other.
As in reality the length of the curve mustn't change, only the shape itself.
Is there a possibility to do that in Draw?
Thanks in advance
Manuela
In reality, Yes, I guess, but there are workarounds that will get you exactly there. You can rotate nodes with the"Rotate Nodes" tool after clicking the shape tool. The end result of course will stretch the line slightly. From there, just scale the bounding box in small increments. Here is a result, jpeg here and CDR file attached. This is saved as version x6, I can save to an older version if need be.
Mike, I'm not quite sure I understood what you did (and I can't open X6, I only have X5 or X3 here), but it looks as it is exactly what I'm looking for. Could you explain it a bit more how you did that?
