New! Hiding and displaying objects
Premium feature
Corel DESIGNER allows you to hide objects and groups of objects, helping you edit objects in complex projects and experiment with your
designs more easily. For more information, see “Hiding and displaying objects” on page 232.
You can hide and display objects.
New! Selecting adjacent nodes
Corel DESIGNER X7 offers enhanced node selection. You can now select adjacent nodes on curves by using the Shape tool while holding
down Shift. For more information, see “To select a node” on page 171.
New! Outline Position
With Corel DESIGNER, the new Outline Position options help you create objects with more precise sizes. The Outside outline, Inside outline,
and Centered outline buttons let you specify whether an outline is positioned inside the object, outside the object, or an equal combination
of both. By positioning an outline inside an object, you can more easily create elements in your designs, such as walls, with specific sizes
because the outline will be rendered within the object's original measurements. For more information, see “Formatting lines and outlines” on
page 142.
New! Splitting objects
Premium feature
With the revamped Knife (Premium) tool in Corel DESIGNER, you can split vector objects, text, and bitmaps. You can split single objects or
groups of objects along straight, freehand, or Bézier lines. For more information, see “Splitting objects” on page 179.
