Ok. So at my work there are two computers both with Corel Draw 4x. On one, I can power clip a photo into a box containing a black border and no fill. All I have to do is click inside the box and it works. On the other computer I can't click inside the box, I have to click exactly on the border of the box.

Anyone know how this happens and what I can do to make clicking in a no-fill box a PowerClick option on both of my computers?

Thanks

In one of them, "Treat all objects as filled" might be disabled.

See how to enable it in this post from the thread: "Where is the Gird Tool? Where is the Treat as Filled toggle?".

 Thank You Jordan

I have found that to be the case but it brings up another problem. I constantly place photo's by power clipping or by editing the nodes to a border and in order to be able to power clip by clicking anywhere inside the border I have to have treat all objects as filled checked as on.

In my own templates I click on the photo and hit delete (which I can do quickly) to get rid of the photo's I don't want, but I find with the 'treat all objects as filled' option on that when I open my template and click the photo's to remove the old ones that it automatically chooses the frame and not the jpg or bmp. I then alt click and then delete. Adding an extra step to something I do hundreds of times a day is frustrating.

Can I have it both ways without going through the object manager?

I have given myself a keyboard shortcut for it but am looking for a simpler solution.
