Hi friends,
I want to draw a figure in Corel Draw 9 and make the line like a shaken, trembling line or like a sinus curve (that follows the original figure all the way around the shape)
Just like if I would change my line to dotted line style.
How do I do that?

Try the Interactive Distortion tool, using its Zipper mode with smooth distortion.

PATTI U`RE THE BEST!
It's so beautiful!
Only thing is, that you have to define a frequency, which is a number of turns in a segment. So if my segments are not of the same length (and they never are...), the Zips will be different from segment to segment. The Amplitude gives the width, this would be nice to be able to define with a line width as usually with lines or dotted lines...
Wishful thinking? Maybe, but who knows if there is one more fantastic solution?
THANK YOU!!!
I did a work around using Square 721 font and fit to path.
typed out a bunch of "O"s set the kerning to 200% then fit text to path centered on the path. Type more or delete the "O"s to fill the shape. Weld them to the shape, break appart and throw all the O holes away. Last step was to use the fillet tool to round the square corners. The spacing gets messed up around some of the curves, but you could manually kern some of those spaces.

Oh No.......... such a long work around for such an easy thing. You can do that in a minute using Artistic Media tool. More info here

Don't discourage alternate methods, Aleem. I think Jester's idea is great! Sometimes it helps to know all the various techniques people would use -- then we we can choose the best for the project at hand. We may even come up with something new, as we did in that thread you eluded to.
BTW, I am very handy with the Artistic Media, but it definitely takes more than a minute to create a brushstroke that works like you want it to! First you have to get a nice repeating zigzag and make a long string of it to save as a brushstroke. To do that is a little more challenging in version 9.
