area can be filled. For example, the Smart Fill tool can fill the loops of a 
freehand line that crosses over itself. The Smart Fill tool creates a path 
around the area, so the filled object can be moved, copied, or edited.
The Smart Fill tool was used on a freehand sketch (left) to color the objects (center), 
and to color the entire sketch (right).
New!
Bevel effect: Bevels are often used in the creative design and sign-
making industries to outline and emphasize designs. CorelDRAW X3 
dramatically reduces the amount of time required to apply bevel effects to 
graphic or text objects. The new Bevel effect docker gives users quick access 
to Bevel styles and to controls that determine the effect’s intensity.
