Corel DESIGNER provides preset lines that let you create thick strokes in a variety of shapes. After you draw a preset line, you can apply a fill
to it. For information about applying fills, see “Filling objects” on page 301.
When drawing lines using the curve tools, you can hide the bounding box that displays around the lines once they are drawn. The curve
tools include: the Linear Pattern tools, the Freehand tool, the 2-point line tool, the Bézier curve tool, the Pen tool, the Multi-point line
tool, the B-spline tool, and the 3-point curve tool.
You can hide the bounding box to enhance the fluidity of drawing lines in quick succession.
