You can change the center coordinates by using the property bar or drag and drop the mouse or using the Position command. For example, a circle has coordinates of X: 0.0 '' and Y: 0.0 '' so its position will be as shown below.
Pick tool is one of the most frequently used tools in CorelDRAW Pick tool, in addition to the main function of selecting objects, it can also be used to move objects, rotate objects, change the size of objects. object and research.
When you select an object with the Pick tool, around the object will appear squares and you can drag and drop these squares to change the size of the object in proportion or not to a specific scale.
Left-click once on the object, arrows appear around the object, allowing you to distort the object and rotate the specific object.
Attention:
Using the Pick tool gives you an intuitive view when manipulating the object, but when you use it, it may not achieve the desired results or be difficult to achieve absolutely. So in addition to using the Pick tool you can also use the Transformations group command in the Object menu.
The Transformations command group gives you five commands as shown below.
The Position command allows you to move an object from one position to another. Using the Position command as follows, first select the object you need to change position then press Alt + F7 a dialog box appears as shown below, you customize the necessary parameters and then Apply.
For example, you can use the Position command together with the Pen tool - Rectangle tool - Smart Fill tool to draw a logo as shown below.
+ Step 1: Use the Pen tool to draw an apple.
+ Step 2: Next, you use the Rectangle tool to draw a rectangle.
+ Step 3: Next, you use Pick tool to select the rectangle.
+ Step 4: Go to Object => select Transformations => Position or press Alt + F7. Customize the parameters as shown below, then click Apply.
+ Step 5: Then you use Smart Fill tool to fill objects
+ Step 6: Delete unnecessary rectangles.
The Rotate command is used to rotate an object in CorelDRAW. Using the Rotate command as follows, first select the object you need to rotate (adjust the center of rotation if necessary) then press Alt + F8 a dialog box appears as shown below, you customize the necessary parameters. like rotation angle, center of rotation . then press Apply.
For example, you can use the Rotate command with the Polygon tool to quickly draw the Mitsubishi logo.
+ Step 1: Use the Polygon tool to draw a picture.
+ Step 2: Use the Pick tool to select the picture only.
+ Step 3: Go to Object => select Transformations => Rotate or press Alt + F8. Customize the parameters as shown below, then click Apply.
The Scale and mirror command is used to scale an object to scale. Using the Scale and Mirror command as follows, first select the object to be scaled, press Alt + F9, a dialog box appears as shown below allowing you to enter the percentage to enlarge or enlarge. minimize the object after entering the parameters you choose Apply.
For example, you can apply command on an object is a circle to get a new object as shown below.
The remaining commands such as Size, Skew, you learn more in case you want to remove the Transformations just done, you can go to the menu Object => choose Transformations => choose Clear Transformations
So I have shown you two ways to move, rotate, and deform an object depending on the design requirements you choose for using the Pick tool or the Transformations command group accordingly. See you in the next article. Good luck !
