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. Whether you start with the
arrowhead or the body, Corel Grafigo converts your hand-drawn arrow into a more
symmetrical and straightened arrow.
Corel Grafigo uses shape recognition to convert hand-drawn shapes (left) into
perfect forms (right).
Drawing assistance also allows line straightening and collinear alignment. For example,
if you draw a staircase pattern that is not perfectly straight, the line segments that are
arranged at approximately 90 degrees will be adjusted to be exactly horizontal or
vertical and set at 90 degrees.
