Copying, converting, and removing outlines
CorelDRAW lets you copy outline properties to other objects.
You can also convert an outline to an object, and you can remove an outline. Converting an outline to an object creates an unfilled closed object with the outline’s shape. You can apply fills and special effects to the new object. Converting outline to an object can be used to create cuttable outlines for devices such as plotters, engraving machines, and vinyl cutters, which cannot interpret outline width in CorelDRAW files.
