Hi Everyone, Can someone tell me how to make a 1" and a 1.5" Border on the inside of a 18" Star? I have a DHC2 PlasmaCam and can not get it to work. I can do the offset on a circle, but this star is just not working the same way.
Thanks,
Carol

I just tried it on DesignEdge, and it worked for me. I selected the star, hit "O" for offset, put in "1" for the distance, and then while holding the control key, clicked inside the star. (Control leaves the original intact.)

In corel, use the contour tool.

Re: Need 1 " border on inside of 18" Star
hey, Gamelord you are great at using and explaining what tools to use.
I just couldn't figure out how to do them.
I got the corel draw x6Unleashed video/tutorial and what ever you guys say to do ,I just look up that tool/topic and watch the tutorial . and then it makes sense. and its pretty easy to learn.
im starting to like corel . its not very good when you don't know how to use it.
if I get a 1/4 good as you I will be happy.
thanks for all youre help. and for taking the time to help
Greatly Apreciated

I've searched for and bought just about every learning package I could find on Coreldraw. Then I've saved loads of Youtube videos, Google searches, etc. I've saved each and every useful thread on Coreldraw techniques. Yet I still get excited when someone asks a Coreldraw question and you are answering
Thanks a lot,
Keith.
