Third, the object selection skills
1. Press the space bar to quickly switch to the pick tool.
2. Hold down the shift key and click the objects to be selected one by one to select multiple objects in succession.
3. Select a single object hidden behind a series of objects, hold down Alt, and then click the previous object with the pick tool until the desired object is selected.
4. Press Shift+TAB to select objects in drawing order.
5. When holding down the Shift key to make multiple selections, if you accidentally make a mistake, you can hold down the Shift key and click the wrong object again to cancel.
6. Hold down the Ctrl key when clicking to select a single object in the group.
7. Click to select a single object from a series of objects, and hold down the Alt key.
8. Hold down Alt+Ctrl when you click to select a single object from the object group.
9. Select within the object: press and hold the Alt box to select, and then click the object with Shift key.
10. Select all texts, nodes, objects, guides, etc. : Select Edit/Select All.
1 1. Hold down the ALT key and use the selection tool to select objects instead of enclosing them all.
Fourth, editing skills.
1. Double-click the pick tool to select all objects.
2. Double-click the rectangle tool to create a rectangle with the same size as the workspace.
3. Rotation: double-click the object, hold down ctrl, drag the upper handle of the object, and rotate in increments of 15 degrees.
4. Move: Hold down ctrl while moving to limit its movement in horizontal and vertical directions.
5. Color selection: When you can't find the desired color in the standard color box, you can find the closest color in the following two ways:
(1) Select the object, and then select the closest color. Click the mouse for about three seconds, and a 7×7 square adjacent color gamut will pop up for selection. Just choose the color you want.
(2) addition. For example, if you want orange, select an object, first fill it with yellow, then hold down CTRL with your left hand and click red with your right hand. Every click will add 10% red component to the original yellow until it is close to the desired color, and other color components can also be added.
In addition, when you hold down the SHIFT key and click the color wheel, a color search will pop up. You can use the name of the color, such as brown ~, to directly select the color.
(Common colors: C/M/Y/K silver: 20/ 15/ 14/0 gold: 5/ 15/65/0 beige: 5/5/ 15/0 highlight gray: 5/0. 10/25 deep purple: 85/95/10 seawater color: 60/0/25/0 lemon yellow: 5/ 18/75/0 crimson: 20/100/80.
6. Set "Fine Offset" on the property bar of the selection tool to realize the precise movement of the object with the cursor.
7. Set "Snap to Line" and "Snap to Object" in the property bar of the selection tool to accurately adjust the position of the object. Opening the transformation docking window can accurately set the position, size and rotation equivalence of the object.
8, paragraph skills:
(1) Paragraph Text Dump: Select a text box with the selection tool, click the control point in the middle of the bottom of the text box, and a text dump icon will appear. Drag a new text box in the blank, and the text that was not displayed in the original text box will appear in the new text box (this method can also fill the text into various shapes);
(2) Mixed arrangement of pictures and texts: put the pictures into the text box, and right-click to select paragraph text to wrap;
(3) Split paragraph: select the paragraph to be split, and select arrangement/split. (Ctrl+K)
(4) Adjust the text to the maximum value in the frame: select the text/make the text fit the frame.
(5) Fit Text to Path: Select Text/Fit Text to Path, or right-click and drag. (Clear: Select Text/Align Text Underline)
(6) Hold down the ALT key to zoom the paragraph text, which can simultaneously zoom the text size.
9. Tips for modeling tools: When modeling curves with modeling tools, you will often find that the lines are too sharp or stiff and not soft and natural enough. At this time, just double-click the two sides of this node to add a node, and then double-click the middle node to delete it, and the natural lines will become smooth and smooth.
10. User-defined harmonic path: firstly, harmonic the linear effect of A to B, then draw a path, click New Path Properties, and then click Path Curve to make an interactive gradient along the path. .

12. Quickly copy colors and attributes: In CorelDraw software, the fastest way to color a single object in a group is to drag the colors on the screen palette directly onto the object. This method is also suitable for gradient filling, and new colors can be added to the filling axis (delete: right-click the axis and click the unwanted color). Similarly, the shortcut to copy an attribute to a single object in a group is to hold down the right mouse button when the user drags the object, and the attribute of this object is the attribute that the user wants to copy to the target object. When the user releases the button, the program will pop up a right-click menu, in which the user can select the attribute command that he wants to copy. In addition, you can quickly copy the graph by right clicking. First, use the left key to arbitrarily select the graphic to be copied, and move or scale it to the required position or size. Do not release the left button and the right button at the same time. In the same way, you can copy the outline of the same size and all the attributes of another graphic (including size, outline, color and font type), put one graphic in another graphic in the same way, and put the text in the desired path. Quickly copy the fill color: press Shift to drag the object to the target object; Quickly copy the outline color: press Alt right to drag the object to the target object; Quickly copy the fill color and outline color: press Shift+Alt to drag the object to the target object. (When copying stereo and harmonic effects, do it in the effect menu bar. )
13, Bezier curve tool using skills:
(1) Double-click a node to turn it into a sharp corner, which is convenient for turning;
(2) Press the C key to change the tangent direction of the next line segment (commonly used), and it is best to pay attention to the direction of a line, so that the drawn line will be smoother;
(3) Press the S key to change the tangent direction of the upper and lower line segments.
(4) Hold down the ALT key without releasing the left key to move the node, and you can adjust the lines while doing it.
(5) To draw unclosed and unconnected curves continuously, press ESC.
(6) Hold down the Ctrl key to limit the horizontal, vertical or angular drawing of line segments.
14. hold down ALT key to rotate the object and tilt it at the same time.
15, bitmap skills:
(1) Quick clipping bitmap: (CDR9) Double-click the bitmap and it will automatically become a shape tool. Hold down Ctrl to limit horizontal or vertical clipping. (X4) Use the crop tool. If you just cut it into a text or an object and use a gradient effect, the solution: convert it into a bitmap and then cut it.
(2) bitmap to vector: some logo hooks are troublesome and can be tracked automatically. You can import the picture into PS, adjust the threshold and then automatically trace it; Or set the selection after adjusting the threshold in PS, then change to the path (the tolerance is adjusted appropriately), select "File/Export/Path to Illustrator", then import it into CDR, dissolve the group, delete the unnecessary ones, and then combine editing.
(3) processing bitmap effect:
① By adjusting brightness, contrast, etc. (Select the effect/color adjustment and select the corresponding menu).
② Through transparent gradient (using interactive transparent tools).
(3) By precise filling method (effect selection/precise cutting of drawing frame). You can also thicken the border, decorate the corners and so on.
16, the search and replacement function in CDR is also very powerful, so don't try it.
17. Quickly enter the mode symbol in the CDR: Ctrl+F 1 1. In the open option, enter a w, and special symbols starting with w will automatically jump.
18. Text to Music: Select all objects, then merge all groups, select Edit/Select All/Text, and then select Go to Music. Select Text/Text Statistics to see if all songs have been turned over. If there is still no translation, the reason may be: 1. The text has been interactively stereoscopic, and the effect has not been separated. When carrying out interactive stereoscopic effect on text, it is suggested to choose to copy one, and then carry out interactive stereoscopic effect after turning over the song. 2. The text is precisely cut in the frame. Method: Edit the tune.
19, table drawing skills (CDR9): first draw with drawing tools, then dissolve and merge the groups, and adjust the size with shape tools. After splitting, each rectangle can be edited. Add a grid: copy one, enter the scaling ratio in scaling, and align; Slash: copy one and delete one node. (Using tools such as welding, trimming, intersecting, combining, splitting, deforming, etc., you can easily draw the desired figure. )
20. In CDR, you can move the selected font by pressing the left key, which can easily change the sorting.
2 1, bold font outline skills: in the outline attribute, the writing style: extended to 1 can bold horizontal lines; Changing the angle to 90 degrees can thicken the vertical line. (It is recommended to check two options: after color filling and scaling with image. )
Five, call data skills
1. Call Photoshop path: merge the potoshop file with the path, hide the layer, select "File/Export/Path to Illustrator", and open the newly exported ai file in CorelDRAW, which can be edited freely.
2. Call Auto CAD graphics: select and copy the graphics in dwg file, select the edit/paste special menu in CorelDRAW, and select the picture (metafile) in the dialog box to edit these graphics.
3. Call text: the text of non-cdr file should be copied in Notepad, edited and then copied into CorelDRAW to clear the format of the original text.
4. Call Excel table: copy Excel table, select Edit/Paste special menu in CorelDRAW, select Paste/Rich Text format in the dialog box, and use the text tool to select the table content in this text box. You can edit the format of this table by adjusting the tab stop of the ruler above. Note that the text is black in RGB at this time.
5. Input pictures: You can right-click in CorelDRAW to view the properties of the bitmap, and you can also change the color mode and resolution, but it is best to adjust it in Photoshop before inputting pictures; Input TIF pictures and delete redundant channels; Input PSD format of the basemap to fuse the group and delete the background layer; Set the layer blending mode in Photoshop or save the transparency as PSD format and input it into CorelDRAW. The blending mode or transparency attribute of the picture still exists.
6. Image lossless modification: When the image imported into CorelDRAW needs to be modified, but the original image has been deleted, select the image, click the right mouse button, select Edit Bitmap, and select File/Save as New File in the opened software window. The file type can be opened in Photoshop, and then the file can be modified and saved in Photoshop, and then imported into CorelDRAW.
7. External Bitmap: Check "External Bitmap" when inputting pictures, input thumbnails of the original pictures in CorelDRAW, set the position and size of the pictures, and select "Bitmap/Unlink" in the menu to input the original pictures, which can greatly improve the running speed of the software.
8. Insert barcode: Open Corel barcode wizard software independently (barcode tool in CorelDRAW software package). The industry standard format is generally ISBN, enter a 9-digit code (check code is not entered), click Next Advanced and select 978 attachment, and then click Next to display the dead zone mark to copy the barcode to the clipboard; Paste it into CorelDRAW, dissolve the group, delete the space characters after "ISBN", and replace all characters with "OCR-B 10 BT" font.
9. Common formats of vector software such as 9.CDR are: CMX, EPS, EMF, WMF, etc.
10, CDR files should be exported to Wen Tai for carving, and first exported to PLT format. It is best to use 1: 1, and be careful not to outline the text, otherwise it will be engraved twice in the same position, causing paper damage. (Double-layer text: separation after using the interactive contour tool)
Six, common problem solving skills
1. Error-prone when saving files:
You can copy the file first, and then open the copied file for modification to avoid saving it as a file; If you want to save a file, you'd better save it when you open it. Some CorelDRAW9, if the file becomes larger, it will make an error and the file cannot be opened. You can open the backup file by modifying the suffix ".". cdr”。
2. When saving the disk, the power went out and it crashed. After restarting, I found that the file became 0 bytes?
Method: Open the file saving directory, find @ @ cdrw.tmp and open it with a different name.
3. How to make the image placed in the frame not automatically center when accurately cropping the image?
Methods: ctrl+J found an item of "automatic centering of image cropping", and removed the checkmark, so that the image could be cropped in situ.
(Tip: Press and hold ctrl to click the box to quickly enter editing mode, and press and hold ctrl to click outside the box to quickly exit editing mode.
4. How to install fonts?
Copy fonts to c:\windows\fonts.
5. How to adjust the following operations in the CD: When pressing up, down, left and right keys, the selected object only moves a little.
On the premise of selecting nothing, adjust the property bar and then fine-tune the offset value, which is 3MM by default.
6.CORELDRAW has some puzzling questions:
Try to restore the default values of the CD. The method is to press F8, double-click the CORELDRAW icon on the desktop, prompt whether to restore to the initial value, and click OK (this method is often used to solve problems such as missing or shifting toolbars and property bars).
7. Version utilization and compatibility:
Method: (a) Open the file with the original version, save it as 8.0 format, and then open it with other versions.
(b) Download the dedicated file converter.
(Tip: To view the file version, right-click the property, and you can see the file version number in the details. )
8. Unable to create new file.
Reason: Printer installation failed.
Methods: A. Delete the original printer or network printer and reinstall the local printer.
Just install the virtual printer that comes with the system.
9. The file is damaged and cannot be opened.
Method: A Rename the backup file, remove the following "_ automatic backup" and change it to "XXX". CDR ",and can be opened directly with CDR.
B Open it with AI, then save it as EPS file and open it in CDR.
10, paragraph text to curve problem
Methods: Freeze in the filter was used to solve the problem.
Draw a black rectangle on the paragraph text,
Open the filter-Transparency-100%, and check the freezing and application.
Then remove the back text layer.
Disadvantages: Not suitable for words with superscript or subscript in paragraphs.
Other methods: (1) export to bitmap or directly convert to bitmap. (Pay attention to the size)
(2) After saving, open it with a higher version (such as X4) and turn it directly.
Safest method: output WMF file to curve.
Suggestion: (1) If you can use clip art text, don't use a text box.
(2) When typing numbers or English, enter a space before and after.
(3) After the text is finished, press ctrl+T to change the moment between characters from the default 20 to 0, and adjust the line moment to 120% or 150% or 200%. In this way, the words won't appear scattered.
(4) Finally, adjust the paragraph alignment. It is often the case that the half characters between two lines of a CD are not aligned. At this time, you can select several words and press "Ctrl+Shift+>;" Or "ctrl+shit+
(5) Use the shape tool to move the character spacing.
1 1, full-width and half-width punctuation.
Reason: CDR compatibility is not very good.
Full-width double quotation marks, without any text.
Solution: When encountering special symbols such as single quotation marks, don't type them first, and then add them separately. If there are many words, it is suggested to use PAGEMAKER for typesetting, or type the file in WORD first, then copy it, and then pull a paragraph text box in CDR for pasting. Note: In WORD, do not use spaces at the end of a paragraph. Go back to CDR, select the text format, align both ends, keep the line spacing before the paragraph, set it to 0 after the paragraph, and other defaults.
12, CDR's clip art text is scattered, and then CTRL+L combines the text, which will reverse the order.
After the combination, break it up and combine it.
(Hint: CDR's clip art text is broken up, and then CTRL+L combines the text to make reverse text. )
13. It is very slow when using CDR.
Reason: The memory setting may be inappropriate. The system default exchange storage disk is disk C. If your computer disk C is small and has many things, it will definitely affect the speed if it is not set here.
Method: CTRL+J opens the memory settings: replace the auxiliary disk with another disk instead of the C disk, and the memory usage is set according to your memory size.
14. When editing files with CDR, it will always get stuck for a long time.
Reason: It may be an automatic backup. By default, the system will have an automatic backup. You can modify the backup time according to your personal needs or cancel the backup setting when saving. It is recommended that novices or friends with unstable computers do not cancel, and the time can be extended appropriately. In case of crash, you can use backup.
Seven, production skills
1, the effect of making a page:
Select the object (bitmap format) to make the volume page, select bitmap /3D effect/volume page, and set the parameters.
2, making LED word effect:
Input text, without padding, add outline, twist, split, disconnect a node in a small part of each connection, put a circle filled with color on both sides of the node, and choose a new path with the interactive reconciliation tool.
3. Draw a standard wavy line ~
Draw a straight line first, click the interactive tool set in the toolbar, select the interactive deformation tool, then select zipper deformation in the pop-up property bar, input the value of waveform from peak to trough and the number of wavy lines in amplitude and frequency respectively, and then click the smooth deformation at the back to generate standard wavy lines. At the same time, you can adjust the peak value and wave number at any time according to your own needs.

2. Matters needing attention in graphic design and printed output
(1), pay attention to the transmission of files. Files, especially linked files, must be complete. It is recommended to use compression software to compress large files and then transmit them through the network.
(2), file size check:
① Check whether the page size is set. Generally, the page size of typesetting is the same as the finished product, which is helpful to check whether the finished line is cut into words or images and avoid poor printing due to improper setting.
(2) Check whether bleeding has been done (bleeding is the color position or figure that is naturally connected with the finished product outside the finished product line, and the bleeding position is generally set to 3 mm on each side); If you make a cover saddle stitch, you need to add the spine position, depending on the number of inner pages and the thickness of the paper.
③ Check whether there are objects in RGB mode (including padding, outline, picture and text). If there are, it needs to be converted to CMYK mode, otherwise the desired printing effect may not be obtained.
(3), text checking and processing:
(1), if there are words in the file, please turn them all out to avoid losing words or other unexpected errors when outputting.
(2) If you want to keep the text in the file, please use the font consistent with the file.
(3) black characters don't need to fill in four colors, just use K 100.
(4), picture related matters needing attention
① The printed picture must be in CMYK mode or grayscale mode, and the resolution is preferably above 300dpi. The RGB image directly output by the hair row will lead to color change, which is quite different from the color displayed by the computer. If the resolution is too low, the image quality is poor.
② Please remove the redundant channels and paths for the finished pictures, and it is best to merge the layered pictures into one layer. The redundant channels and paths not only make the file bigger, but also easily lead to problems such as poor output, slow printing and unclear interpretation by the interpreter. Layered pictures may be moved or discarded.
(5), software and format
(1), which software files are saved in software format, and indicate the operating system and software version used when necessary to reduce the error rate.
(2) PDF format is the most stable format before printing, so it is recommended to use PDF for output printing.
(3) It is best not to use non-professional plane typesetting software for output production. Such files (such as Word and Excel files, etc.). ) it is difficult or even impossible to print the ideal effect.
(6) Special instructions about CorelDRAW files
① Rotating, cutting and filtering pictures in CorelDRAW are destructive operations, which will lead to bad pictures. Therefore, it is suggested to use professional bitmap processing software such as Photoshop for bitmap processing. If you really need to do it in CorelDRAW, please perform a "bitmap"-"convert to bitmap".
Bitmaps linked or embedded with channels or paths in CorelDRAW are particularly prone to bad images. Please pay special attention.
(3), transparency, gradient and other effects may produce bad picture phenomenon, so it needs to be converted into bitmap. If there are operations such as addition and division in transparency, please remember to freeze the frame and convert this part into CMYK mode at the same time, otherwise the color will change greatly and even it will not come out!
(4), text, text box must be rotated.
⑤ Use a picture frame for precise cutting. Please lock the special parts in the cutting frame to avoid graphic movement during operation.
