Printing your work

In the CorelDRAW application, you can print one or more copies of the same drawing. You can specify what to print, as well as which parts of a drawing to print; for example, you can print selected vector objects, bitmaps, text, or layers. For more information about printing layers, see “To enable or disable printing and exporting of a layer.”

Before printing a drawing, you can specify printer properties, including paper size and device options.
