Corel x5

Learning x5 is going slow for me but will get it with some help.
On this file I created the bar, then the letters and attached to the bar. The bar is a little long. See the vertical line on the right side of the bar. How do i trim the length of the bar and the vertical line?
Thanks, Jim

first, there is an extra copy of the outer perimeter to delete

then get the node-tool (actually called the shape tool)

click on the object if it is not already selected

drag a window around the two end nodes to be moved

hold control key while dragging the nodes to the left

control key makes it drag straight

or if snap-to-objects (or grid) is on, you may not have to hold control key

Gary thinks for the information. How did I get a extra outer permiter amd how did you find it?
I have the vertical linr in place on the bar. How do I delete everything to the right of the line and I need to trim the vertical line to have a square end on the bar. I know this is basic stuff but if I can learn some basics it will help me greatly.
Thanks, Jim

Okay got it done. I would still like to know how to trim the vertical line.
Thanks, Jim

if you drew a rectangle around that end, then you could use trim, trimming a line and a closed curve always trims the line

when I moved the nodes as described above, it was only the perimeter, so the actual shape was still sticking out, so I could see there was a duplicate

my final step would be combine everything and make sure it fills properly, then the duplicate would also be detected because it wouldn't fill right

Okay, thank you Gary. I'll have to try it out.
