4 Organizing document components A Corel Grafigo document consists of objects, such as underlays, onionskins, text frames, and ink strokes, that coexist across multiple layers. In this section, you’ll learn about • understanding layers • working with underlays • working with onionskins Understanding layers Corel Grafigo documents are divided into multiple layers, each containing a portion of the document's contents.
information about moving underlays between layers, see “To move an underlay” on page 35. While ink and onionskins can be layered in any order, ink always stays on top of underlays. For example, when you create a new document, add ink strokes, and insert an underlay, the ink strokes stay on top of the underlay. You can move ink strokes between layers. For more information about working with ink strokes, see “Working with ink strokes” on page 41.
You can cut or copy an underlay and paste it into a Corel Grafigo document. You can change the dimensions of an underlay. You can move an underlay to a new location in a document. If you no longer need an underlay, you can remove it from your document. You can store an underlay for reuse later on. For information about creating reusable content, see “To add content to a category” on page 64. To insert an underlay 1 On the standard toolbar, tap the arrow to the right of Underlay underlay.
To select or deselect an underlay • In the toolbox, open the Selection tools flyout, tap the Lasso selector around an underlay. , and drag To deselect an underlay, tap anywhere outside the selection box of the underlay. You can also select an underlay by tapping the Lasso selector , and tapping an underlay. If you have ink strokes, underlays, or text boxes on top of the underlay, tap successively until a selection box displays around the underlay you want to select.
To move an underlay 1 Select an underlay. 2 Drag the selected underlay to a new location in the workspace. You can also Move an underlay to an area that falls outside the workspace Drag the underlay toward the edge of the current workspace view to enable autopanning. Move an underlay to an onionskin Select the underlay, and drag it to an onionskin. Move an underlay to the front of another underlay Select the underlay.
Onionskins function like tracing paper that you can place over an underlay. One or more onionskins can be inserted in a document. When you save a file, onionskins are saved with the document. Selecting an onionskin makes it active. You can change the size of an onionskin, and you can move an onionskin to a new location in a document. You can display or hide onionskins. For example, you can hide an onionskin to select an ink stroke that lies under the onionskin.
Corel Grafigo assigns a number to each onionskin that you insert in a document. The number is displayed on the onionskin’s control bar. If an ink stroke that you create on top of an active onionskin extends beyond the boundaries of the onionskin, the onionskin is resized automatically to accommodate the ink stroke. To select an onionskin • Tap anywhere in an onionskin. The control bar and the color of onionskins both provide visual clues that help you distinguish between active and inactive onionskins.
To display or hide an onionskin To Do the following Display an active onionskin Tap the Hide/Show onionskin button on the control bar of an onionskin. Hide an active onionskin Tap the Hide/Show onionskin button on the control bar of an onionskin. When you hide an onionskin, its control bar remains visible and lets you display, select, move, delete, and lock the onionskin at any time.
Changes to the color of onionskins apply only to new onionskins that you add to a document; existing onionskins are not affected. You can also set the properties of an onionskin by double-tapping Onionskin in the toolbox, and adjusting the settings in the Onionskins area. To delete an onionskin 1 Select an onionskin. 2 Tap the Delete button on the control bar of the onionskin. When you delete an onionskin, any ink strokes, text frames, and underlays on that onionskin are also deleted.
Working with ink strokes 5 In Corel Grafigo, working with ink strokes is an essential part of annotating documents and drawing content such as lines and shapes. Ink strokes are independent document components that float above the background. You can place ink strokes in the workspace, on onionskins, and on top of text frames and underlays. When you apply ink, a new layer is formed on top of the previous one.
You can add ink strokes of different size and color using the Pen and Marker tools. For example, you can choose a fine red point for editing documents, an extra fine black point for detailed drawing, and a thick yellow point for highlighting text. You can change the width and color of ink strokes by setting the attributes of the Pen and Marker tools. For example, you can set the nib size to control the thickness of ink strokes. You can choose different colors for the different pens.
3 Choose a nib size and ink color. If you want to increase the thickness of ink while drawing by varying the amount of pressure on the tablet pen, enable the Pressure sensitive option. You can also set the attributes of the Pen and Marker tools by doubletapping one of the Pen tools or the Marker tool in the toolbox, and adjusting the settings in the Pens or Marker areas of the Pen tool page. Selecting ink strokes Before you can change or move an ink stroke, you have to select it.
You can also select an ink stroke by opening the Selection tools flyout, tapping the Lasso selector or Pick selector, and tapping an ink stroke. If you have multiple ink strokes that overlap each other, tap successively until a selection box displays around the ink stroke you want selected. To select an ink stroke that is under an onionskin, you must first hide the onionskin and then select the ink stroke. For information about hiding onionskins, see “To display or hide an onionskin” on page 38.
. Dragging a corner handle sizes the height and width proportionally (left). Dragging a middle handle stretches the shape (right). To size an ink stroke 1 Select an ink stroke. 2 Drag any of the corner selection handles. You can stretch a selected ink stroke as you size it by dragging any of the middle selection handles.
You can also Move an ink stroke to an area that falls outside the current workspace view Drag the ink stroke toward the edge of the current workspace view to enable autopanning. Move an ink stroke from one onionskin to another Make the onionskin that contains the ink stroke active. Drag the ink stroke to another onionskin. When you drag an ink stroke toward the edge of the current workspace view, you enable auto-panning.
The selected ink stroke rotates around the center of the selection. Erasing ink strokes You can erase an ink stroke or portions of it. For example, you can erase part of an ink stroke to change its shape or to reveal more of an underlying ink stroke or underlay. Original ink strokes (left). Local eraser is used to modify ink strokes (middle). Stroke eraser is used to delete entire ink strokes (right).
Using drawing assistance Corel Grafigo includes drawing assistance tools, which let you apply ink strokes with precision. You can enable or disable drawing assistance. You can also choose drawing assistance settings. Using drawing assistance, Corel Grafigo can recognize the shapes you draw and convert them into perfect forms. For example, you can draw an arrow that consists of two pen strokes: one for the body and one for the arrowhead.
Line segments can be straightened and aligned to the vertical or horizontal axis. Line segments can also be aligned along a single line. You can also use drawing assistance to create symmetrical lines and shapes. For example, if you draw a star, Corel Grafigo will make all opposing sides symmetrical and of equal length. Symmetry affects only straight line segments and not curves. Corel Grafigo will make opposing sides of a shape symmetrical and of equal length.
hotspots of the existing ink strokes. If you draw a line close to an existing shape, the new line is repositioned so that it snaps to the closest hotspot of the existing shape. If you draw a line between two existing ink strokes, the line is repositioned so that it snaps to the closest hotspots of the existing ink strokes. When you draw a line between two existing shapes, the line is repositioned so that it snaps to the closest hotspots of the existing shapes.
You can undo the implementation of drawing assistance. For more information, see “Undoing and redoing actions” on page 24. To enable or disable drawing assistance • Tap Drawing assistance on the standard toolbar. When drawing assistance is enabled, the button appears pressed. Drawing assistance is available only for the Pen tools. To choose drawing assistance settings 1 Tap Settings on the standard toolbar. 2 In the Settings dialog box, tap the Pen tool tab.
To disable the implementation of drawing assistance for a single ink stroke, draw an ink stroke, lift the tablet pen, and quickly press the tablet pen button before drawing assistance takes effect. To undo the implementation of drawing assistance to the ink strokes just drawn, tap Undo on the standard toolbar.
6 Working with text Corel Grafigo lets you annotate documents by adding text. When you are working with text in Corel Grafigo, you are actually working with typed text in a text frame, not the writing strokes you make with the tablet pen. You can always add words in ink; however, if you don’t convert them into text, Corel Grafigo will interpret them as drawing strokes, and not as text.

Collaborating online 9 People collaborate on projects by sharing information and processes. Corel Grafigo allows you to share information with your colleagues in a number of ways. You can share documents in real time over the Web or e-mail documents using your default email program.

During a collaboration session, only the host can draw in the workspace. Guests can draw only on onionskins that they create. For information about inserting onionskins, see “Working with onionskins” on page 35. All onionskins on which you cannot draw are marked with an asterisk in your workspace. During a collaboration session, only the host can create and delete views. Guests can only jump to the views that the host has defined. For information about defining views, see “Viewing documents” on page 24.
