Undoing and Redoing

Undoing and Redoing

CorelDRAW remembers previous actions you performed during the current session. You can undo the actions that you perform in a drawing, starting with the most recent action. If you don’t like the result of undoing an action, you can redo it. Reverting to the last saved version of a drawing also lets you remove one or more actions. Certain actions applied to objects, such as stretching, filling, moving, and rotating, can be repeated to create a stronger visual effect.

Customizing the Undo settings lets you increase or decrease the number of actions that you can undo or redo.

To undo, redo, and repeat actions

To specify the Undo settings

1. Choose Tools > Options in the menu bar.

2. In the Workspace list of categories, click General.

3. In the Undo levels area, type a value in one or both of the following boxes:

Regular — specifies the number of actions that can be reversed when you use the Undo command with vector objects

Bitmap effects — specifies the number of actions that can be reversed when you work with bitmap effects

The value that you specify is limited only by your computer’s memory resources. The higher the value you specify, the greater the demand on memory resources.

Actions you cannot undo are :

·            Change of view (zooming, scrolling, etc.)

·            File operation (open, saving, importing, etc.)

·            Object selection operation

The Undo command changes depending on the last action - for example, “Undo Fill” or “Undo Rotate”. If the action cannot be undone, or there are no actions to be undone, the command is grayed.

Immediately after using Undo, the Redo command becomes available, allowing you to restore what you just undid.

Saving a Drawing

To save a drawing

1. Choose File > Save in the menu bar.

2. Save Drawing dialog appears.

3. In the Save Drawing dialog box,

·            Type a filename in the File name list box.

·            Locate the folder where you want to save the file.

·            If you want the drawing to be compatible with a previous version of CorelDRAW, choose a version from the Version list box.

·            If  you  want  to  save  the drawing to  a  vector  file  format  other  than CorelDRAW(CDR),  choose a  file format from the Save as type.  

Saving an existing Drawing

You can save an existing document simply by clicking the Save button in the Standard Toolbar or by choosing File > Save (Ctrl + S) , which causes your most recent changes to be saved immediately without opening any dialogs.
