Positioning objects as you draw

Changing tools to position an object you just created in CorelDRAW® can be time-consuming, especially if your drawing contains several objects. Did you know that you can position an object with any object-creation tool (any tool found in Rectangle, Ellipse, Object, or Perfect Shapes flyout) without having to go to the Toolbox?

By right-clicking an object with any object-creation tool, you can move or copy it to a new location in your drawing.

With any object-creation tool active, right-click the object, and drag.
A blue outline of the object follows the pointer as you drag.
After you positioned the object, release the right mouse button.
A menu appears.
Choose one of the following:
- Move here
- Copy here
The object is moved or copied.
