commands work across layers, making it simple to position objects precisely in 
the stacking order and reducing the need to use the Object Manager docker.

Create Boundary command: The new Create Boundary command 

instantly creates a boundary around selected objects in CorelDRAW X3. 
Particularly useful for sign-making or engraving, the boundary can be used 
for various purposes, such as keylines, cut lines, or outlines around groups of 
selected objects.

Miter limit per object: Miter limit determines at which 

angle a pointed corner becomes a blunt end. If there were only a 0.5-degree 
separation between two corner lines, the outermost point could extend 
halfway across the page. For increased flexibility, professional designers can 
now set miter limit per object, which also means that text and graphics can 
have different settings for miter limit.

Step and Repeat docker: With the new Step and Repeat docker, 

CorelDRAW X3 users can more easily and precisely create a series of objects. 
This new docker lets users quickly set horizontal and vertical offset 
preferences when repeating objects. These offset preferences determine 
where objects created by repeating steps are placed. 

Duplicate Offset control: With CorelDRAW X3, the new 

Duplicate Offset dialog box makes it easy for users to control the placement 
of duplicate objects. The first time they use the Duplicate command (Ctrl + D), 
users can set Horizontal and Vertical Offset distances for duplicate objects. 

Fillet / Scallop / Chamfer: Users can now easily shape curve 

objects by using the new Fillet / Scallop / Chamfer docker. Filleting produces a 
rounded corner; scalloping rounds and inverts the corner to create a notch; 
and chamfering bevels the corner so that it appears flat.
