Justin - what is the simplest method to offset straight lines with CorelDraw? Say, for example I want to create a grid of line spaced 1" apart.
Thanks,

The quickest method I have found so far is to use the Parallel Drawing "Parallel LInes" tool.

The Parallel Drawing tool is new for CorelDRAW 2020 so I will do a quick video on other fast and easy techniques that can be used in any version of CorelDRAW

Have a look at this video viewtopic.php?f=225&t=34304 to see how this can be easily done without the Parallel Drawing tool.

Thanks Justin! I will have a look to see. I did try drawing a line and copy/past, then move the copy to side and put in the spacing in the dimension box at the top of the screen. I am interested to see how you do it.
