Ok everyone, we need your help.

We use CorelDraw X3 to create our artwork, when doing our call-outs we use the standard line tool and apply an arrow to the end. However, here is the problem we are running into. We use B&W line art and the arrows get lost in the art. So is there an easy way to give my arrow an outline color of white, but keep the line and arrow black? In photoshop you can create an arrow and give that arrow a stroke, is there anyway to do this in Corel? Here is an example of what we are tying to do, this was done in photoshop.

 

 

 

Thank you.

after applying your arrowhead, convert the line to an object. you can then put an outline on that object if you wish. making the new outline fairly wide, and putting it behind the fill will give you the look you want.

you will lose any interactivity of a callout, however.

1. Using the pen tool make a line with an arrowhead.

2. Convert "outline" to object (ctrl+shift+Q) since a line is considered an outline so that you wont have to make it from scratch.

3. Explore "Interactive Contour Tool".

4. You can break it apart later to replace fill colors.

I know how to follow instructions! Geeked
