  • wireframe view in Corel X3

    Posted by Gavin MacMillan on February 8, 2011 at 8:35 am

    Hi,

    been using Corel a bit more recently and really like it for certain things. A couple of things that I really don’t like though are that there seems to be no short cut to go to wireframe? Don’t know about anyone else but ALT S is my most common used short cut in signlab. The other thing is the selection tool, it would be nice to be able to get it to act like signlab where it only selects on the outline and not on a fill, is this possible?

    Cheers for any help, or any other tips anyone has discovered for using corel when your instincts still work in signlab.

    if you click on view wire frame and then click view enhanced with overprints you can then toggle between both by hitting shift and F9

    click here for all the hot keys

    Hi Gavin,

    this works on 12 and x5 so i assume will on x3.

    to leave as a wireframe you simply click on the x in a box above the colours, that will leave it with no fill.

    to fill either the object or it’s outline you right click on your chosen colour and drag it over your object, if the box is ‘full’ then it will fill the object, if the box is hollow but coloured (as you hover over the outline) then this will fill the outline with said colour.

    Nice one George, more of a stretch than ALT S but that is going to be very useful!

    You could set your own keys up….

    Go into Options Ctrl-J… Go to Workspace … Customization … Commands …
    Find "View" in the drop down
    Then you see Wireframe and then click Shortcut Keys… assign it a key

    Have now discovered you can also do this in signlab… could have done with knowing this 10 years ago!

    This makes you even more fabulous Dave!

    quote Alan Drury:

    you mean find it and then use it. All softwares should do it, the golden rule as well chaps is when ever there is anything you need to know or would like to do or do better/faster etc (first come here and ask, Dave might be around 😉 ) or just google your thought/question.

    If you have thought it so have a million others and a lot of them would have asked somewhere and got an answer and google being our friend will direct us straight to it ……. eventually.

    cheers
