This is a file that was given to me by one of my customers who needed some help in the CorelDraw print merge. The original file I got had all the lines in one column so I suggested that the customer fix it up so that there were 20 columns of names. This excel file had over 5000 names. Because there was 20 names per plate Corel created 287 plates with 20 lines per plate. I would not want to enter this text in manually. Check out the CorelDraw print merge video

One of the more common items that we need to engrave is a dial. If you do any work for industrial customers than you will need to be able to master this technique. Doing a dial in CorelDraw is easy it just requires a little more thought when you are doing it. In this lesson we will show you how to create a dial that is composed of two different length strokes. Each stroke will be at a different degree on a circle.
