Sometimes it's easier just to rebuild artwork

One user was having trouble dealing with artwork that may have originally come from Autocad.

I suspect this user spent hours trying to fill the shapes and reconnect the lines so that the shapes could be filled in CorelDraw.

After seeing his file and the examples, I was having a tough time getting some cooperation from the Smart Fill Tool with this particular artwork. Normally it works quite well.

Then I realized that many of his elements weren't complex. They could be re-drawn quite quickly, and then filled with ease.

For example, here is a toilet that needed to be redraw. It took about 1 minute.

The reason my objects are snapping smoothly is because there are vector lines to snap to in the original artwork under my new objects.

Tip: ALT+Z toggles Snap to Object.
