Formatting outlines
You can change the outline of an object in
various ways. Depending on your design
needs, you can choose a different outline color,
thickness, or style (such as a dashed or dotted
line).
To change the appearance of outlines, you
can use controls in the Outline pen dialog
box, the Outline page of the Object
properties docker, or the property bar.Upper left: Triangle outline with no formatting applied.
Lower right: Triangle outline formatted with color and a
dashed-line pattern.A list of preset arrowheads is also available. To
add arrowheads to the starting point or
endpoint of a line, you can choose a preset
from the list or create a custom arrowhead.Choosing fills
CorelDRAW provides a wide range of fills to
help you add patterns and texture to your
objects. You can fill an object with one color, or
with a blend of two or more colors. Or you can
select a more complex fill, such as a texture or
pattern, or create your own fill.Top to bottom: Uniform fill, fountain fill, and pattern fill
applied to objects.
