Afternoon all.

We recently invested in a full copy of Corel Draw X4 ... what a great program !!

I've got this bent tube in a design and i'll like to do a graduated fill to give the illusion that it is in fact a 'tube'. I know how to achieve this if it was a straight shape, but not to get it to bend round with the shape.



I'm sure this must be possible, but does anyone know how to do this ??

Many thanks in advance.

Not sure its possible as a 1 click solution but you may want to explore the mesh fill options.

you could use the interactive fill tool then crop to suit, I have exported to jpg first to keep blend
I have it here but cannot post in this section
