  1. Never Any Answers For This X3 Question

    Heyu; Thanks to all who have chimed in. I hope we all got something from it. This has all been very instructive for me. There's still a ton to learn about the software, but I've also picked up a fair amount in this process. I have always been a bigtime node assassin. I spend a TON of time...
  2. Never Any Answers For This X3 Question

    Hey; I just went back and fooled with it a bit. I did not have any of the items that I was originally having trouble with, as I had already gone ahead and finished my work on them. However, I did create some new ones and was able to replicate the problem. First, simply drawing a geometric...
  3. Never Any Answers For This X3 Question

    Ha! Others hinted at this here, and I've had others hint at this in previous posts here, but no one ever just came out and explained it. Thanks... it worked! :thumb:
  4. Never Any Answers For This X3 Question

    Howdy; I've had some frustration with this on many occasions, but no one has ever come up with an anwer. I often make complex objects by cutting the shape of one object out of another. In other words, using a foreground object as a tool to remove it's shape from the object behind it. This...
  5. Trimming Questions

    Thanks Vid; Glad to know I'm not alone. I didn't think so. :Cool 2: To reiterate - 1) I am only selecting two items; one the trimming piece, and the other the piece to be trimmed. I am not trying to trim multiple pieces at once. 2) I am carefully checking that there are no hidden...
  6. Trimming Questions

    So... The end result is no one has any good ideas of why a trim function would leave the node path, but not take the color out of the trim, nor leave the trimmed piece (under the top item) as a seperate item if the curve is broken?? It has happened to me again, but I still have not figured...
  7. Trimming Questions

    Heyt; Indeed this is what I did, or at least learned to do. Here is a screen shot of what I have. I marquis selected every object, and then selected the shape tool to reveal all the nodes and vectors. You can see the "successful" Trim jobs where the stars appear white. You can also see the...
  8. objects disapear while zooming but dont come back?

    Hey; I have objects or components dissappear, or have blank lines and other oddities appear after initiating a given command at times. However, zooming in or out always restores the proper objects... so far. I've seen things like you are talking about, but I'm not much help I'm afraid.
  9. Trimming Questions

    No. We are working this in different ways. Yours is not familiar to me, and that is the cause of the confusion. Referencing the attached screen shot, this is how I get to Trim. If I have selected my two objects, the trim function is usually displayed as an icon on the tool bar (red arrow) along...
  10. Trimming Questions

    OK; Here's my example. The ring was made of many components all welded together to form a contiguous piece. As I recall, I made the largest star on the left, then copied it twice, resizing each successive star as a percentage of the previous one. I then positioned the three where I wanted them...
  11. Trimming Questions

    Hmmmm.... I get nothing with this order of operation, and this is what is confusing me. I have to click the top object, then hold shift, then click the bottom object, THEN select Arrange, Shaping, and Trim. Your order of operation is different and does not work for me. I see there are many...
  12. Trimming Questions

    I'm a little lost... The way I've done trimming is to place the item to be trimmed under the item that is doing the trimming. Select the top item, hold shift, select the bottom item (to be trimmed) and select trim, either from the tool bar, or when that is not offered, from the arrange menu...
  13. Trimming Questions

    Hmmm... I was assuming that trim was a classic feature of CorelDRAW. I am specifically working with X3
  14. Trimming Questions

    Hey All; My last mountain to overcome was learning about the variables involved in welding. I have learned a lot about welding, and can now do so successfully. The next thing that is puzzling me is trimming. As with welding, there seems to be certain characteristics of certain objects that...
  15. Combing Color Layer Elements - X3

    I think you're right; I have been having more success lately in getting objects to weld properly. In all that hacking around I am starting to see patterns imerge that are making it clearer. I'm not sure that I want to know the intimate details of Boolean Logic, or need to, and I do not yet...
