Dear Members,

Corel Draw provides the facility of applying 3d effect on the object. This is bit complicated effect of Corel draw but we will
cover just basic at this stage. Creating proper 3d effect is a matter of experience as it also includes proper color, perspective and lighting. Let us understand how to use Interactive Extrude Tool. We will apply it on the text.

1. Open Corel DRAW.
2. Select Text Tool. Type something, stretch it to bigger size, and fill some bright color say yellow. Text must have black outline and keep the text selected.
3. Select Interactive Extrude Tool. It's in the same menu that of Interactive Blend Tool, eleventh from the top in the tool box. You need to press the menu to display the tool.
4. Bring the cursor inside the text. The cursor will change.
5. Press and drag the cursor to the top left corner.
6. You will notice that the text is converted into 3D.
7. Try to drag the cursor in any other direction while you practice this lesson for the second time.
