Creating a Double Outline

September 23, 2010

I often see users asking how to create a double outline (or triple or quadruple). It really is pretty simple. Use the Contour feature in CorelDRAW to add however many steps (outlines) you want.

CorelDRAW X5 Unleashed shows an example of how to easily do this along with hundreds of other examples.
