Definitely!

IS it possible to apply a flat transparency to an object? - so basic but I see no way of doing it.

What I would like to be able to do is have a gradient follow the line of a curve - see really simple example attached - I tend want to use this quite often.

This really is a necessary feature for inclusion in AD

A simple perspective/mould tool would be really welcome - done in seconds in Xara P&GD

Can you please implement a "mould" tool (Xara Graphic Designer) or "envelope" tool (Corel).
The sample attached is from Xara

Thanks for the feedback guys

Thanks Alfred.
The great thing about CorelDraw is there are no handles on the text  - just select the text and move it.
When I try to resize the path in AD I get this -Text 2 - then have to fiddle with the handles to get it correct.
In CD, just select the type and drag it - CD3 + 4
AS I do a lot of logo design, I use text on a curve/shape often
OH well, maybe the devs will see this thread.

AD's text on a path is awful - it's just about OK if you want a few words at the top of an ellipse for example, but try and put a separate line of text at the bottom of the same curve(with the tops of the text touching the outside of the ellipse) - forget. You have to create a second ellipse and move the text around with those confusing different coloured handles.
I've attached captures of text on a path from CorelDraw X4 from 2008 showing how simple and intuitive it is. In addition you can use the node tool to adjust the spacing between letters.
AD definitely deserves better than what it has at present.

This is SUCH a useful feature to have.. chioce to find or replace shapes, lines, fills, colours, etc.
CorelDraw X4 from 2008....
 

Export .pdf's from inside Corel - mine work just fine.

Gary P - I'm really amazed at the trouble you have gone to to help this user.......

This feature would be great to have - not too dissimilar from CorelDraw's mesh fill tool from 2008

I think either/both ideas would be a vast improvement - it's a real pain at the moment

Aaaaahhhhh! Thank you so much for that!!!!

Is it possible to set a scale for a document - for example a 1 to 10 so that a 100 cm object in real life is scaled to 10cm but the dimension shown in Designer is 100cm?
I've looked at the grid and axis manager but can't find anything.
