Creating line patterns from welding shapes

Written by Jeff Harrison
July 2, 2010

A user asked in the public forum:

“I need to set up box joints to vector cut. Is there a way to tell corel x5 that I want a line 1 inch down, then 1 inch to the left, then 1 inch down, then one inch to the right  then 1 inch down and so on?”

I offered the idea that he could weld rectangles together.. esp. if an outside line was needed as shown below to create a complete piece.

Note: I normally only press W to weld, I never take this long menu route (I set this up in my options.)
