OOHHH it is one of those days. Sorry, I was working on a rectangle.
I found a long way around, by converting another design I had. So I am working with that, BUT, I would still like to know ....if there is a way easier then I used, to notch corners of the rectangle tool.
Thanks for asking. :-)

aalen,
I wasn't following the bouncing ball. I thought you had a metal fabrication question and I wondered what "corner punch" you were using.
Didn't realize it was a Corel question.
I'll go away now.

Aleta;
Notch or chamfer? If you know how to round the corners of a rectangle, do that and then convert the rounded rectangle to curves. Then use the shape tool to convert the corner radii to lines. That will give you a chamfer.
If you need a notch, use the shape tool to add a point (double-click on the line) and position the new node to form a notch.
HTH.

If you do alot of Scallops, Chamfers & Fillets, there is a plugin for corel version 10 and up http://www.oberonplace.com/products/curveworks/index.htm that automates the process quick & easy!
Corel X3 has a Chamfer, fillet, scallop tool built in now, you can find it in
