I am a MASSIVE newbie to design let alone Coreldraw. I feel like I am starting to get my bearings, but I have one issue that someone with expertise could figure out in a second I'm sure.
I have a label application I am printing on my printer/plotter combination. I have defined the object with the spot color that will cut out my label and Powerclip will work perfect as I need to put in various designs into the object and this makes this step a breeze. The issue I have though is my plotter will likely not always cut the edge of the object and therefore the image perfectly, so I'm afraid white space may show.
Is there any way to define a slight (.5 mm or so) bleed past the object? Otherwise, does anyone have a suggestion on the best way to make this work?
Thanks
Set the outline to hairline.
Blowup of outcome:
To add a counter go to Effects>Counter. Set it to one step and to be an outside contour. Then Break the Contour group apart under the Object menu. Trying to use the outline pen might work. Among other issues, you would have to convert the outline to an object. Using the Contour tool I think is the easiest. I just moved the two objects apart so they can easily be seen. Thus I re-centered them.
bartleby said: I need to powerclip one image into multiple objects.
I'm not sure if this is what you want, but let's suppose you have one image and want to use several areas from it ...
Instead of making three copies of the image and then making three powerclips, a fast alternative is:
If required, you can now do object > break apart (control K) to create three separate powerclips, which you can rearrange :
That may not be what you want ... but you can also use the same trick if you want the same part of the image to appear in several powerclips ...
It looks horrendous when you combine the three shapes and powerclip into the result:
You would think that cannot possibly have worked. Nevertheless, when you break the result apart, you can separate the objects and you have three powerclips of the same part of the image ...
