Hello forum members,
I am new to this forum. I searched the whole database and did not find an answer for my Corel Draw question concerning the combination of objects.
That is why I would like to post this question here. I hope that you can help me to solve this problem.
The basic problem is: I want to combine e.g. 3 objects. Those three objects are not overlapping. My problem: I want to combine them to one object which has only ONE outside border. Is that possible to achieve with Corel Draw?
Maybe you have an idea?
I am looking forward to hearing from you!
Many thanks in advance!

You can add images to your post from the Options tab > File attachment to help us understand the question. (Check the Help section in the upper right corner)
After you select the three objects, you will find a Combine button on the upper Property Bar (see attached). Is that what you need?
Thank you for your reply. The problem is, that, when i combine the three objects that way, I receive let' say "three objects combined" but with 3 separate paths. I want to have an object with only one path.
I just uploaded a simple example (Version X3)

Sorry, I have been offline for some hours.
Unfortunately your statement seems to confirm that it is unachievable with built-in functions. So I'll try out your suggestions. Thank you very much for these, especially for your easy to understand illustrations!
Anyhow I tried to upload the missing attachment again. It shall illustrate more clearly to you what I try to do with it. The background is as follows: I try to build an image map for a country. This country consists of states. In order to create usefull image maps I have to "combine" several "sub-districts", because they together build a state. If you look at my example you see a) the state (in grey) and b) the grid of all borders (in red). Maybe these borders could help to build a "closed" state-path?
Maybe this inspires you to have another idea?!
Best regards
