I want to blend two objets but not using the amount of in-between objects but with the fixed-distance option. But to my surprise the mentioned option is greyed-out and can not be choosen !?!
How can i enable this feature ?
Many thanx in advance from Vienna
Thomas
You can enable this feature if the blend is fitted to a path.

Hi AHmad,
hmm - seems my english is not good enough and/or i am using a german GUI.
I draw e.g. two objects: a rectangle and an ellipse (which is complete inside the rectangle).
Then i change both objetcs into curves, select both and want to blend them !!
The result should be a set of in-between objects with a maximum distance between them.
How cames a path into the game ?
BTW. in the meantime i found the "Contour"-functionality which has the requiered effect to the selected objects.
But thanks for your answer
Hi Thomas,
You were surprised because the Offset option was grayed-out, and wanted to know how to enable it. So I told you how. I think there's no problem in your English neither in your German GUI ;)
As shown in the attached image; in CorelDRAW, you can fit a blend group to a path. When fitted, you can choose between specifying the number of intermediate objects (Steps) or the distance between their centers (Offset).
Since you know that
, you decide whether using Offset with blends fitted to a path will fill your needs or not.
It's great that you found a tool to do the job.
Just ask if you need more details or have any other inquiries.
Ah - thats the trick.
Thanks for that explanation - now i understand what is meant with the distance option and blends - and thats for sure not the operation i intended it to use for.
Anytime Thomas :)
hi M,
if you ever need to insert fixed spacing between objects, this macro is also quite handy. No blending needed.
miglincit:Ah - thats the trick.
