Dear Members,
Let us check out another difference between "Unconstrained" and the rest of the three envelope options.
- Open Corel DRAW.
- Type the text, say “Corel”. Stretch it to make it bigger. Keep it selected.
- Effects > Envelope
- You get a docker to your right side on the desktop with the envelope options.
- Create an envelope with "single Arc" option.
- Stretch the center top note to the upward direction.
- The stretch get stretched in the form of single arc.
- You will notice that the node you stretched just now has two arrows along with it in the opposote direction.
- Try to move the arrows using the same cursor in any direction.
- You will notice that it does not move.
- You can move only the node, not those arrows.
- This means you have limited capacity to edit this kind of envelope.
- Now go back to the first step using undo option and apply the envelope using "Unconstrained" mode.
- Stretch the same top center node upward and try to move those arrows to any direction using the same cursor.
- This time, you will notice that the arrows have no restrictions and you can move them smoothly to any direction.
