Duplicating shapes

Duplicating creates an identical copy of the selected shape. Corel Painter also lets you duplicate shapes by

using compound transformations. Transformed duplicates are created according to the options you set.

To duplicate a shape

Choose the Shape Selection tool from the toolbox, and click a shape.

Choose Shapes Duplicate.

To change duplication settings

Choose Shapes Set Duplicate Transform.

2 In the Set Duplicate Transform dialog box, specify any of the following settings:

• Translation — controls where Corel Painter creates duplicate shapes in relation to the original. The

offset values are in pixels. When H. Offset and V. Offset are both zero, the duplicate is created

precisely on top of the original. If both values are 100, the duplicate appears 100 pixels lower and

100 pixels to the right. Negative values offset the duplicate up and to the left, respectively.

• Scaling — controls the size of duplicates in relation to the original. The scale values are percentages.

• Constrain Aspect Ratio — maintains the aspect ratio of the shape. If you want to create distorted

duplicates, disable this option and specify different percentages for horizontal and vertical scaling.

• Rotation — lets you specify a number of degrees to rotate duplicates. Positive values rotate

counterclockwise, and negative values rotate clockwise.

• Slant — controls the degree of slant applied to duplicates. Positive values slant duplicates to the

right. Negative values slant them to the left. Slant accepts values between –90° and 90°. However, as

values approach the extremes, the duplicate shape becomes a streak.

To create a transformed duplicate

1 Select the shape you want to transform.

Choose Shapes Duplicate.

Corel Painter creates a duplicate shape according to the specifications you’ve set.

This duplicate is now the selected shape. You can choose the Duplicate command again, or press

Command + ] (Mac OS) or Ctrl + ] (Windows), to repeat the transformation on the new shape.
