Question
Hi Ran,

Thanks for your help yesterday.  I have a picture that has been made using the outline pen not the contour.  How can I prevent the line from getting larger when I have reduce the picture?

Answer
Hi Kathy

Sorry ages, I don't work weekends.

You need to set the line properties to "scale with image". Otherwise when you reduce the size overall, the lines appear to be thicker (although in fact the line thickness remains the same).

Select your lines and press F12, then check the Scale with Image checkbox, that should do it.

Expertise

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!
