Convert letters on-the-fly

Lettering.pngUse Toolbox > Lettering to add TrueType lettering directly on-screen. Right-click to set the formatting values for new or selected lettering objects.

You can convert individual TrueType letters ‘on-the-fly’ and add them directly to a design through the Object Properties docker.

TIP

If your product level allows it, you can add and format TrueType lettering in CorelDRAW Graphics. This can then be converted to either embroidery lettering or embroidery objects.
