Hello everyone,
I am new to CorelDraw and to graphic design in general. I have been experimenting with CD and got stumped when trying to use fills on objects, specifically curves. I know you must close a curve before you can apply a fill, but, my question is: Is there a way to use another curve/path to close a curve. Basically, I'm trying to freehand some images, thus many curves intersect. I had been hoping the program would recognized the curves as closed when another curve "graphically closed" it, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work that way. I have tried combining curves, but it doesn't seem to produce the desired effect.
I'm sorry if my use of terminology is poor. Thank you in advance.

Also as a newbie this has helped me greatly as well, where I need to create closed shapes of "traced" parts for laser cutting. I have discovered, the shape tool, join curves, etc but hadn't thought of using the smart fill tool for "proving" the closure. I see that this actually creates a new object that you can drag away. I like this idea because it will ensure the new object is clean with no duplicate lines or overlapped or over extended lines. Am I on the right track? I need to go and try it, now.
