And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. ZDNet’s recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. The mapping mode of paragraph text frames cannot be changed after an envelope is applied.‘ZDNet Recommends’ What exactly does that mean? Vertical - stretches the object to fit the basic dimensions of the envelope and then compresses the object vertically to fit the shape of the envelope Putty - maps the corner handles of the object’s selection box to the envelope corner nodes The other nodes are mapped linearly along the edge of the object’s selection box. Original - maps the corner handles of the object’s selection box to the envelope’s corner nodes. Horizontal - stretches the object to fit the basic dimensions of the envelope and then compresses the object horizontally to fit the shape of the envelope On the property bar, choose one of the following from the Mapping mode list box: If you edit a bitmap with an envelope in Corel PHOTO-PAINT, or if you copy a bitmap with an envelope and paste it into Corel PHOTO-PAINT or into an earlier version of CorelDRAW, the envelope is no longer editable. If you split, crop, or erase portions of an object with an envelope, you can no longer edit the envelope.
Note: Both the Convert to line and Convert to curve buttons are disabled when you apply an envelope to a bitmap. To edit the nodes and segments of an envelopeĭouble-click the envelope to add a node or double-click a node to delete it. For more information, see To copy effects from one object to another. You can also use the Attributes Eyedropper tool to copy an envelope. You can also copy an envelope by selecting an object, clicking the Copy envelope properties button on the property bar, and selecting an object with the envelope you want to copy. Select the object from which you want to copy the envelope. You can create an envelope only from a closed curve. To save the envelope for future use, click the Add preset button on the property bar, type a filename in the File name list box, and click Save. The envelope is applied to the object that you selected in step 1. Select an object to which you want to apply an envelope.Ĭlick the Create envelope from button on the property bar.Ĭlick the object from which you want to create an envelope. To create an envelope based on the shape of another object You can prevent the straight lines of a vector object from being converted to curves by enabling the Keep lines button on the property bar. You can also apply an envelope by using the Envelope docker ( Effects Envelope). You cannot apply an envelope to a bitmap with an envelope. To shape individual characters with an envelope, use artistic text. Note that once you convert the frame to a curve, you can no longer edit the text.
For information about converting objects to curves, see To convert objects to curve objects. To shape the text inside the frame, consider converting the frame to a curve after you finish editing and formatting the content. If you want to reset the envelope, press Esc before releasing the mouse.Īpplying an envelope to paragraph text allows you to modify only the shape of the text frame. Unconstrained mode - creates freeform envelopes that let you change the properties of the nodes, and add and delete the nodes Single-arc mode - creates envelopes with an arc shape on one side, giving objects a concave or convex appearanceĭouble-arc mode - creates envelopes with an S shape on one or more sides Straight line mode - creates envelopes based on straight lines, adding perspective to objects On the property bar, click one of the following buttons: For example, you can stretch an object to fit the basic dimensions of the envelope, and then apply the horizontal mapping mode to compress it horizontally so that it fits the shape of the envelope. You can also change the mapping mode of an envelope to specify how the object fits to the envelope. For more information about the different types of nodes, see Curve objects. CorelDRAW also lets you delete nodes, move multiple nodes simultaneously, change nodes from one type to another, and change a segment of an envelope to a line or curve.
Adding nodes gives you more control over the shape of the object contained in the envelope. You edit an envelope by adding and positioning its nodes. A custom envelope (3) is created from the shape of a vector object (1) and applied to a bitmap (2).ĬorelDRAW also lets you copy and remove envelopes.Īfter you apply an envelope, you can edit it or add a new envelope to continue changing the object’s shape.
