    I am trying to make a 75 by 15 array of a 1 inch square with 0.5 inch spacinging between the copies.

    Ive drawn the a 1 inch square. Cant find any tool or menu item to create my array in 1 operation .

    Anybody know if Corel 11 can array 75 by 15 in 1 step.
    I understand newer versions can but unfortunatly i need to do this in Corel 11

    Help was no no help

    Make your page size the size of your square.
    Install a postscript printer and set to file.
    Print and in the print preview do your multi up and set gutter.
    Print to file using ps extension.
    Import ps file into Draw using postscript interpreted filter
    OR
    Go to http://www.oberonplace.com and download the FREE vba – tiler (this is the easiest) place the gms file in gms folder of Draw. Access via tools-visual basic-play, select tiler and the rest is straight forward.

    Both intersesting ideas. Might have to try them.
    I would have thought this would be a basic function sinse version 1.0

    Agreed and even my suggestions are geared more for a print application rather than vinyl. X3 goes some way but even that is not as user friendly and flexible as Signlabs array method and some array options it just cannot do.

    Alan, I’ve just downloaded that tool, and it’s really handy. I could have done with that a couple of weeks ago, instead of faffing around with guidelines etc for ages…
    There’s loads of goodies on that website.
    Thanks for sharing it!

    Goto http://www.isocalc.com as well and in particular download the rectabgle fixer. In Draw you can put a radiused corner on a rectangle, but if you stretch the rectangle the corners go off – rectangle fixer does just as it says.

    The limit colours macro from Oberon is handy if you have a cmyk drawing and want to convert the colours to spot (make sure the Pantone palette is open first)

    otherwise you could use the transformations docker of corel.
    It will need a lot of clicking though.
