I sometimes run into a problem where adding an Outline to an curve or object then making that Outline an object does something unwanted. Trying the equivalent in Illustrator or sometimes Inkscape has different behavior. I would like to understand what is the cause. Here is a picture.
I would like to be able to get the Illustrator result from CorelDraw.
I see something similar on weld operations. There changing the path's direction or selecting, "Fill winding," can help. But here it does not help.
Here is the cdr. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34207516/outlines.cdr (X7)
In a discussion about this on another forum, one person had a gallery of examples. Here is that gallery: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fco5s02obeztrxu/AAC3oyV48JmszM5JpKEHebuqa?dl=0
Any insights on what is occurring?
