Another two-click wonder in CorelDRAW 11 is the auto-close feature. This allows you to close shapes based on the two closest nodes. In addition, it’s now easier than ever to create a single closed path from multiple paths. You can create closed paths based on the curve direction or the proximity of curves to each other. You can also create closed objects with straight lines or with curves, which allows you to preserve the appearance of objects.
