Question
I am using Corel x3. Just finished a rather complex drawing with various coloured outlines. Is there a way to set up the file in the begining before drawing to have all outlines scalable when resizing the whole drawing and after the drawing is done to grab all outlines and be scalable when resizing the whole graphic? thank you

Answer
Set the default outline to "Scale with image":

With nothing selected, open the Outline Pen dialog or press F12. Tick whichever boxes you want, from Graphic, Artistic or Paragraph text then click OK. Now choose which settings you prefer from the Outline Pen dialog, e.g. Scale with image, and click OK.

Now, all new objects will be created with the outline properties you chose.

My main area of continuous expertise with CorelDraw involves setting press advertisements and I have rarely used it to produce complex drawings. However as director of a small company I have amassed a good deal of background knowledge of computers, various printers and networks over the years. When it comes to problem-solving, I have a long history of having nobody to ask but myself and, lately, the internet!
