Hello everyone,
I am new to CorelDraw Essentials and this is my first post and first question. I'm an old retired guy trying to use Essentials to draw out a motorcycle training course. It will be a simple, 2-D drawing with mostly orange and green circles representing traffic cones. I am trying to remember my experience from using Micrographix Desginer(?) back in the early '90s, but not having too much success.
I have been able to get my drawing screen to show grid dots every .25 inches, which is exactly what I want. Now I want my objects to snap to the nearest grid point, but they are not lining up perfectly straight. If I move an object and release it between two grid points, it stays there. I want it to snap to the closer grid point. When I do get the object to hover over a grid point, a little # sign shows up, and I release the object, but even then, my objects are still not perfectly aligned.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Sam
I might have figured it out, but I can't say why this works. I click and release the circle, so it is "selected", then I click off it and click back on it and move the cursor slightly until center is selected, then I move the mouse away from the still selected object, and move it to the grid point I want. I can't say I understand exactly how it works, but I seem to be able to do what I want. Thanks for the help.
I'm glad you've found a way to make it do what you need.
Even aside from Snap to Objects, Snap to Grid also automatically snaps the corners (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right) of the selection to grid points.
