Hi all,

I'm wanting to draw a graph in CorelDraw where every 10th vertical and horizontal line are emphasized. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the "graph paper" tool in CorelDraw only draws a grid and I really don't want to be having to emphasize the appropriate lines manually.

Does anybody know if there is a function to do this in CorelDraw or a template available online please?

That'll be a NO then

Have CorelDraw but never tried using it for Graphs I'm afraid Paul.
I generally use Excel or similar.

The way things are going, I don't think I'll be doing so either John :lol:

I do all my graphs in MicroSoft Excel - not sure if this can do what you want either though....

Thanks

I can plot a graph in Excel but need to manually place data on a graph which can be read by a colleague with Coreldraw.

What about plotting the graph in Excel and then taking a screen shot and then re-saving the image in whatever image type you need from within CorelDraw? Or is it not that simple, such as your colleague being able to manipulate data? :gmc:

The person who sees the graph doesn't need to see the raw data Simon, and the graph is updated every week

I have solved the problem now though

I just zoomed in on the appropriate lines and drew a freehand straight line slightly wider and in a different colour and dragged it over the original lines

Thanks to all for the ideas
