Corel X3 Corel DrawWhen I draw a straight line, a line of text appears on the Status Bar (I think that's what it's called) showing me the DX: and DY: points and the Distance: but with ... after it indicating there is more information. I know that one of the bits of information I can't see is the angle of the line. How do I extend this information line so it shows me the extra info? (I'm particularly interested in the line angle) and How do I get this information line to stay on screen after I've clicked the End Point for the line? (Currently it reverts to 'curve on layer 1') as soon as I click the end point of the line)ThanksChris
Hi Chris,
I don't think Corel gives you the angle of the line that you have just drawn; however, you can draw a straight line and rotate it to the angle you need it to be by using the Rotate tool on the Property Bar or from the Transformation>Rotate Tab which I keep on my right side. Click the plus (+) icon to add/customize the property bar.
Hi Safia, Thanks for the reply. By way of clarification I've attached a screenshot showing the particular line of text.
You way won't work for me because I am trying to determine what a particular angle is, not create a particular angle.
Thanks
Chris
