Okay, I'll "bite"... Your "question" is not exactly "clear", but let me guess that you are looking for general advice ("tips") on how to more easily access CorelDraw's many tools.

My primary recommendation would be for you to spend time in "customizing" your "toolbar". You do this by "right-clicking" on the existing toolbar, and then choosing "Customize".

Then under the "Customize" folder, you'll notice "sub-folders", which include: "Shortcut Keys", "Menus", "Toolbars", "Color Palette", and "Roll-Ups".

I would suggest you start with "Shortcut Keys" and "Toolbars". You can "drag" "icons" to the existing toolbar, and with "Shortcut Keys", you can assign your own set of "hotkeys" to these "icons".

For example, I have an icon for the "nudge" option, and I have assigned the PLUS character on the number pad ( + ) as the "hotkey". Therefore, whenever, I want to change the "nudge" setting, I ONLY have to hit the + and then enter the number.

In case you haven't yet used the "nudge" option, let me ASSURE you, it is EXTREMELY useful in aligning objects in a MUCH more precise method that by using the MOUSE.

I could go on, but this should "get you started", and hopefully you will "explore" the various other "icons" and options in CorelDraw.

CorelDraw is WIDELY recognized as being a WONDERFUL tool for many areas of the "art world".

Your time spent on "exploring" will therefore be "well worth your time.

And "no" - I don't work for Corel Corporation, and don't have any shares in the company.
