The document summarizes the Interactive Contour Tool in CorelDraw. It can add contour lines to an object using its outline. Users can set the offset, color, and direction of the contours as interior, exterior, or centered. Similar to the Blend Tool, it creates a series of evenly spaced copies of the outline inside or outside to produce a smooth effect when many contours are closely spaced. The steps to add contour effects are to draw an object, select the Contour Tool, and adjust properties like position, number of steps, offset distance, corner style, color direction, and colors in the tool bar.

2. The Interactive Contour Tool
● When you add contours to an object with the Interactive
Contour Tool, CorelDraw uses the object's outline to
create contour lines. You can set the offset, color, and
direction of the contours. The three types of contours are
to the center, inside, and outside of the object
● This tool is related to the Blend Tool, but instead of
blending two shapes, it blends the
outline of a single object to a larger or smaller
version of the object. It adds a series of evenly
spaced copies of the outline inside or outside of
the outline. Since these added contours also
blend in color, a lot of contours closely spaced
together result in a smooth effect.

3. STEP IN ADDING CONTOUR EFFECT TO AN
OBJECT

4. 1. DRAW THE OBJECT YOU WANT TO ADD
CONTOUR

5. 2. In the toolbox click Contour Tool

6. 3. In the Contour Property Bar, you can change the
position of the contour (to center,
inside contour, outside contour), the number of
contour steps, the distance of every
contour steps (contour offset), the style of the
contour corners (mitered, round,
bevel), the direction of the contour color (linear,
clockwise, counter clockwise), and
the outline color and fill color.
