  • is there a way to create 2 shapes with different nodes?

    Posted by Fran Hollywood on 22 October 2006 at 22:16

    Using Corel 12, is there an easy way to create two different shapes that have the same number of nodes.
    For example a square could simply have 4 nodes but a star could have 12. Is it possible to specify that both shapes have say 12 nodes or 50 or whatever?
    I am currently adding nodes with the add nodes button and deleting nodes manually, to get the same for each shape.

    TIA

    daft question, but the most complex shape is the number of nodes you are after, but why? For instance if a star had 46 nodes, why would you want a square with that number?

    Peter,
    I am experimenting with the machine. Each side can cut independently so that if one side cuts say a square and the other could cut a star. I hope to be able to create interesting columns.
    The machine will only recognise files that have the same number of nodal points……. that’s the reason for the daft question.

    Not sure you can but if you marquee select all the nodes and click the + key on the top bar it will add nodes midway between 2 others. Do it again and same effect so increasing the node number is easy.

    OK Peter, it’s just l tend to ask them too.

    Alan, I am aware that you can increase nodes in areas that are selected. I was hoping that there was a way you could enter the number of nodal points for each shape. This would save having to manually delete any extra nodes.

    Cheers
