HOW TO BLEND
- Thread starter webride
- Start date
Webride:
To blend any two objects in Corel DRAW, go to your Tool bar, and find the icon that looks like a series of picture frames stacked one on top of another. This icon will be located in a sub group under the Interactive Transparency Tool (the Wine Glass Icon). When you have selected the Blend Tool, you will see the Property Bar has changed to give you all of the controls you will need with this tool. Look for the icon that looks like some stair steps. There is a place to enter the number of steps you would like to have in your blend group. Enter the number you want, then hit the Tab key, or the Enter key to accept the number entered. Drag your first object in the direction of the second object to be blended. You will see a large arrow attached to your cursor. When you reach the second object, this arrow takes on a small square in the center of the second object. Release your mouse button and you are done.
If you would like to change this blend group to follow a curved path, look on the Property Bar for the icon that has an arrow on it, and a diagonal line (kind of looks like a stairway too), it should be the third from the end on the right side of the Property Bar. This is the "Path Properties" icon. Select it, and you will see another large 'Dog-legged' arrow appear on your cursor. Move your cursor to the new path and select it. Presto! Your new blend group has taken on a new path...:-9
