Post by: Mark @ Hurricane Printing on November 09, 2017, 08:07:31 AM

I have a rectangle and I want to curve ONLY the top two corners. The "Shape Tool" curves all four corners..I only want to do two.

there is not 1 simple tool to do this in corel.  i would do the four and then go back and straighten the 2 which did not need to be curved.

Draw a rectangle, and then up on the properties bar or whatever is right below the dropdown menus you can choose round corners, chamfered, or cut in, there is a tiny lock and if you un-click that you can round all of the corners independent of each other.

Clone the rectangle. Round the corners of one. Overlap the two, with the rounded one slightly higher. Manipulate as needed for proper dimension, then weld the two.

It does, you just need to know where to find it...the method I mentioned is the correct and fastest way of doing it.  You can round one corner, 2 corners on the same side, opposite corners, different rounding on each corner, etc.

Just like in Illy, Freehand, and probably a few open source programs, these actions all work better once you know about them! LOL!
