    Good afternoon Everyone.

    I need to create a sign with graduated dots in Corel Draw X4. I seem to remember somone on here knew how to create that but I don’t seem to be able to find it.

    Does anyone know how to create this ?

    Cheers. 😀

    Is there an easy way to do halftone effect in Corel 12? in vector?

    Use the blend tool. Small circle to big circle and then how many steps in between. Then duplicate…

    This is not the answer for cutable vector but for printing this no problem if you have a postcript laser printer but if you do not….
    Download and install the latest version of Ghostscript with Ghostview. (Those thinking of getting X5 might want to do this anyway)

    Do your design etc in Corel as normal, print to the Independent Postscript device to file. A postscript tab will be available in the print dialogue box, from there you can set screen frequency. It goes down to 60 but you can type your own number in there, lower the number – bigger the dot. Print and his will produce a .ps file.
    Open this file in Ghostscript and print to any printer – you will get actual dots even if not a postscript device.
