Using and managing content


If you want to view a larger version of a file or
edit a file before you incorporate it into your
project, you can open it in CorelDRAW,
Corel PHOTO-PAINT, or its associated
application.


To open a file, right-click a thumbnail in the
viewing pane, and choose the option you
want.

For more information about opening files, see
“Using content” in the Help.


You can also insert content into your
document.


To insert a file into an active document,
drag the file from the viewing pane to the
active document.

For more information about inserting content
into your documents, see “To insert a file into
an active document” in the Help.


The bitmaps and vector graphics (clipart) that
you find can be installed as pattern fills for
future use.


To install a pattern fill, right-click the
thumbnail of a bitmap or vector graphic in
the viewing pane, and click Install as
bitmap pattern or Install as vector
pattern.

You can gather content from various folders in
the tray. While the files are referenced in the
tray, they remain in their original location. You
can add and remove content from the tray.

You can create trays to organize your content
more efficiently and share it with others. The
trays are shared between CorelDRAW,
Corel PHOTO-PAINT, and Corel CONNECT.

To add content to a tray, select one or more
thumbnails in the viewing pane, and drag
them to the tray.

To create a tray, click the Add new tray
button in the Tra y docker. By default, a tray
is saved to the Users\[UserName]\My
Documents\Corel\
Corel Content\Trays folder.

To rename a tray, right-click the tray tab,
click Rename, and type a new name.

You can organize your content in trays.
