Corel Draw 12 - Draw Patterns in Circles: Figure

This article examines Figure and explains the main developments, practical implications, and context readers should understand.

Figure Overview

Figure 1 Figure 2

Select the center of rotation of the object as the bottom of the circle. - Apply Apply To Duplicate tab, we get a new circle with the bottom center coincide with the original circle (figure 2, 3). - Click on Apply To Duplicate tab again 4 more times, we get 6 circles with the same center at the bottom (Figure 4).

Step 2 - Select two adjacent circles (Figure 5). - Select Object - Shaping - Intersect, we get the intersection of two circles as an ellipse (Figure 6).

- Similarly, the two steps above have 6 ellipses which are 6 intersections of 6 circles (Figure 7).

Step 3 - Select two adjacent ellipses. - Select Object - Shaping - Intersect, we get the intersection of the two ellipses to be a smaller ellipse (Figure 8). - Similar to the above two steps we have 6 small ellipses which are 6 intersections of 6 large ellipses (Figure 9).

Step 4 - Draw two circles so that the first image has a diameter larger than the diameter of 6 circles with the same center at the bottom, the second image has a diameter larger than the first one (Figure 10). - Click on the two circles. - Select Object - Combine (you can press the shortcut Ctrl + L). - Select Object - Align and Distribute:

• Align Centers Horizontally
• Align Centers Vertically

- Finally, you can color arbitrarily to get the result as shown in Figure 11.
