I need to create a shape similar to the outline below, but I need to specify the length of each segment (across 22", up 3", in 2 3/8", up 2.5", in 3/4" up 10" out 22 - (2 3/8" - 3/4) = x). I can create the first 22" segment, but each consecutive line cannot be specified without affecting the entire object. Do I have to download sketchup or use Autocad for this? I'm fairly new to CorelDraw (X8), and may be using the wrong tool.
Thanks in advance!
Draw a line segment and size as needed then rotate as needed. Alt+z to turn on snap to shape, grab the end node and drag to the end of the segment you want to line up to.
I thought about that but wasn't sure how well it would snap together. I ultimately need it to be one continuous shape so it can be cut on a router. In Illustrator I'd join the nodes, which I'm not sure how to do in CorelDraw. Maybe using the weld tool at the end will make the single connected shape I need. I also thought about using the page grid set to 1/8" increments to align everything.
Thanks for the tip!
