Full Version: Basic Shapes (change)

I need to use the basic shape that looks like a triangle with the top point cut off. I sorry I don't know the geometric name of it. My problem is I need to round the corners a little like when the shape tool is used on a rectangle. Does anyone know how to round the corners on this? I have Corel 13.

Jer - I will attempt to explain this as best I can. Go to the Basic Shape on your left tool bar and get the flyout - pick basic shapes - then go to the your top tool bar and you will see a slanted rectangle - press the arrow key - you will then see your triangle with the top cut off - select it.
Then to round the corners you will need to go to the top tool bar and select windows - dockers - fillet/scallop/chamfer - you will get that docker flyout - from there select fillet and the radius you wish on the corners then click apply - you will get a message that it is going to change you shape to curves - click OK

It is simple once you have done one or two - experiment a little with the basic shapes and the filet/scallop/chamfer docker

Hopefully you can follow all that - I do not teach Corel - obviously :-$

Hey thanks. That will work. I knew where to get the shape, rounding the corners was where I was stuck.

Glad to help - I think that docker is new in 13 - I do not remember it in earlier versions but it is quite handy.

I got back on the job, got my shape but can not find fillet/scallop/chamfer in my docker. I searched in Corel help and can't find anything. Is it possible this docker is not available in 13?

Windows
Dockers
It is about the 20th. selection down the list.

BluePaw is exactly correct - got to windows then Dockers (down about 7)
then down 20 to fillet/scallop/chamfer. I think this is new in 13

Here is the problem. I said I have 13. The fact is I have Corel 12. You guys should know what I have, not what I said I have. I feel pretty stupid now. Now I am wondering what business I am in, is it engraving or engineering?

In your case you may have a hard time finding it in X3 if you only have 12 :P

Don't feel bad we all do something stupid from time to time.

If you can send me the specifics of the drawing you want I will try to make it for you and send it to you in V12.

Otherwise I suggest that when you can upgrade to x3 - I love it after getting used to most of the new upgrades in it.
