Have you considered using the shaping tool? windows/dockers/shaping. Click on weld to button then click inside text. To make it even easier add it to your toolbox. Add tool/customization/commands. Select shaping tool drag to toolbox menu then press ok. Welding of objects & text can be done with three clicks. No need to separate combine etc.
You have shown a way to select objects holding down the Alt key and drag across line edge of lines of the objects to select, and then weld and it works great. Thanks for the tips and tricks learning every day.
I can't tell you how much you've just helped me man 😂😂 I just got a new job using coral draw for co2 lasers and I've been struggling so much with this!!! 😂 😂 😂 Thank you so much 🤘
I really don't understand. I have done everything and it still doesn't let me do it. I am using a premade DXF font that I imported. I have 3 letters in vine font that I want to weld without loosing the center parts and it doesn't work. I did the right click, select red, it turns the outline of the letters red. Then when I go to convert curves, with the letters selected, it's grayed out and will not let me select it. Is it because they are premade dxf files instead of typed out text from corel draw?
Doug Green , you don’t have to convert to curves before welding. Simply select the word, then weld. Btw, your videos are always helpful to a lot of us. Thank you.
+Doug Green Whether you use the mouse or keyboard shortcuts matters not. The important thing is if you break the text apart first, them convert to curves, you don't leave those orphan centres. Each letter is still combined. Try it. Much simpler than shift selecting outer boundry of each letter.

Amazing!! Been trying to work out how to do this for hours, cheers dude
I like to call the inner parts "islands". I always struggled as to what to call them. So, I settled on "island".

send me the file expressyourselfaustin@gmail.com and I'll take a look
Why not selectall the the font. Convert to curve and then highlight everything and combine function. Then draw your box. And weld ?
Yes that video is old and I have learned more,,, THanks
We are all learning more. You have taught me alot. Thanks!

@@tommyturner3881 yes but sometimes it's better?
select text, control K, select all, control Q, select all, weld.
much quicker and easier.
+Greolt Not sure it's quicker, but thanks for the info, I'm always looking, but my way is all mouse, and kind of like itThanks
