CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Macro To Close Object Manager Then Reopen It?
Mar 23, 2012
Any macro that will close the Object Manager Docker then re open it again? Due to the bug with it, the objects in it disappear, or the icons for visible and print stop toggling, so I have to close it and reopen it. Tried recording one, but the recorder ignored my closing and opening. Just thought it would be handy, for when it locks up like that to press one button, rather multiple buttons and menus.

What determines the order of items shown in the Macro Manager? Is there anyway to have the modules show up in alphabetical order?

The latest version has built upon the QuickSwap module (select 2 images and then swap them with one click) by adding a QuickSwapSize module which not only swaps 2 images, but also swaps their sizes.The macro also has the original module SwapImage module which pops up a userform and allows the user to choose how the 2 images are swapped (e.g. swap the position of their top left corners, bottom right corners, etc). Here is a screen capture of how the modules appear in the Macro Manager docker, assign shortcut buttons/keystrokes to make them one click away:
Refer to the video below to see the intented use of this macro: cs_setInnerHtml('video_c5045c1a-10b0-489c-93f4-a1189f25d9d2','');

Is it possible to create a macro that would take an image made up of multiple objects and separate each object on a new page?

We do a lot of artwork for screenprinting that needs to generally be 11" tall for adult shirts and 9" tall for kids sizes.
I recorded a macro that basically copies everything on the 11" page onto a new page, pastes the graphic and then resizes it to 9" tall. The problem is that when it resizes, it doesn't seem to keep the proportions.
For example, if I have a circle that is 11"x11" and use my macro, I would expect it to be resized to 9"x9"
Instead, after using my macro, the circle is resized to 9" tall by 8.36" wide.
Did I make a mistake somewhere when recording this macro? I'm not a pro at deciphering macro scripts so I've attached it here:
Sub Kids_Size() ' Recorded 6/30/2011 ActivePage.Shapes.All.CreateSelection ActiveSelection.Copy Dim p1 As Page Set p1 = ActiveDocument.InsertPagesEx(1, False, ActivePage.Index, 11#, 17#) p1.Layers("Layer 1").Paste Dim Paste1 As ShapeRange Set Paste1 = ActiveSelectionRange ActiveDocument.ReferencePoint = cdrCenter Paste1.SetSize 8.360346, 8.999996End Sub

what is the best way to close an object consisting of multiple individual lines to enable a fill color? So far I've just been retracing the objects, but there has to be an easier way.

CDR X5.
My list of objects in the Object Manager docker have disappeared and I can't see how to get them back. With the layer manager view I can see the layers but no way can I display the objects (which I normally use a lot).

I have the object manager pane visible at the right of my screen. It shows the layers and status of those layers in my drawing. It has the + icon that allows each layer to be expanded to show every line in that layer. The trouble I am having is that each an every time I do something in the drawing to a line it prompts the Object Manager list to expand to the full list of lines. Clicking the - icon closes this down to just the layer name.
Thing is, how do I stop it expanding the the list to the line level of detail in the first place. I rarely need that level of detail and waste lots of time closing the view down.

We are using CorelDRAW 15.2.686.0 on our fleet and are noticing that Object Manager has some weird behaviour when you add objects to a page after you copy/paste an object onto a page.
Below shows me adding some rectangles to a page and object manager showing them:
Then when I copy paste an image into the document this object and any subsequent objects are not shown in the Object Manager:
As you see I have more objects than are shown in the Object Manager!
If I go to the Window Menu, then Dockers, then untick the Object Manager box, then once again go back and tick it, then all the objects on my page now show in Object Manager!

I am trying to edit the Master Page in Corel Draw X4. However I can't find how to list it in the obect manager. The first image shows the Object Manager as I see it.
The second image shows an example of the Object Manager as people have posted in other discussion topics.
How do I list all pages within the Object Manager as shown in this second example, and have the + and - buttons to expand the selection ?

In the object manager docker, is there some way to turn off the information that appears when you hover the cursor over an item? I found that turning off tooltips does not affect it.

My object manager all of a sudden decided to not show the objects on the layers. If I click the "eye" on the layer it will show or hide, but the names of the objects on the layers are not listed under the layer name.
If I right click on the layer, it has the check beside visible, printable, and editable. I have Corel Draw Graphics Suite X4.

when I select several objects and try to deselect some of them in the object manager the list scrolls down after each click. This happens only in long lists when I deselect objects that are rather in top of the list. It then scrolls until the end of the list and I have to scroll up again for deselecting any further object. Can this be fixed?
Furthermore I would like to know if there is any way to select/deselect by a filter? For example: Deselect all objects that are of the type text or all curves that have a border.

Platform specifics: Windows Vista 64bit, Corel graphics Suite X4
Recently (for a month ?), when I open Corel Photo Paint (by any method), the window opens not in a maximized size, but almost, with the upper border just off screen and the right border barely visible on the far right side of the monitor screen. To relocate the PP window I have to place the cursor on the right window border, click (the cursor changes to the left/right cursor), and slide the window to the left . When I do this, the entire PP window "snaps"downward just enough for me to "grab" the upper right corner (the cursor changes to the diagonal arrows). This doesn't occur with the Draw program.
I have tried opening/closing, resizing with new files, no files, old files, from the Taskbar, from the "exe" program, Start menu, the Open with option, etc. Nothing I do will force the opening window to open in the size/location it was lastly closed in (as I remember it doing). Even using the Ctrl key/Exit, as suggested elsewhere here for another's problem.

Whenever i save a file, and then try to open it later on, it wont open. Nothing happens (just like I haven't clicked anything). It does this is I double click the file or I do File >Open. However if i save the file as 'Version 13' it opens fine. I decided to re-install Corel Draw (a number of times), but the problem is still there!

I have tried to use the Macro recorder to record the keystrokes as I get the dimensions from the top of the rectangle to each line of text & from the edge of the triangle to each line of text. Unfortunately the recorder could not record.
Is it possible to design a macro which can be used to get the dimensions as required ?

Is there maybe a macro for styles (either text or graphics) that
1. connects objects assigned with a style, to that style LIVE? eg, altering the style properties, automatically all objects assigned with that style will adopt those changes too,
2. offers LOT more configuration options than the current default CorelDraw styles options

Print preview shows objects spaced correctly. But when it prints them, it compresses them together on the page (but the objects are sized correctly).
When I print the same file from a different computer on the network to the same printer, the objects are spaced correctly.
Which leads me to conclude it's a setting in CorelDraw on the first computer. Also, I reset all the default settings in CorelDraw using the F8 technique, but that didn't solve the problem.

When using CorelDraw x5 the program seems to just randomly close, with no error message or freezing. It just disappears from the screen and I have to re-open it. I cannot pin point when it is doing it, because it keeps closing upon random tasks, not like it closes every time I try the same thing like saving.

I have a series of complex shapes that look like solid shapes but they are separated. When I try to auto close, the lines shoot all over the place. The open ends of the lines are physically touching or at least very close.
Can you set a tolerance so that two lines touching each other connect?

Using the code from "MakeMeACircle" macro. How can I modify it to "InserCircle"? I have it working now but only if the shape is square and aligned to the bottom left of the page. If I move the square anywhere else and run the macro the "Ellipse" is created outside the square and is "squished" instead of a perfect circle.
Who knows maybe there's a macro that already exists to insert a circle inside any shape?
Sub InsertCircle()
Dim sr As New ShapeRange Dim x As Double, y As Double, w As Double, h As Double Dim dLeeway As Double ActiveDocument.Unit = cdrInch If ActiveSelection.Shapes.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub sr.Add ActiveSelection.Group sr(1).GetBoundingBox x, y, w, h 'adjust this property ####################################### dLeeway = 0# 'distance to sides 'adjust this property ####################################### sr.Add ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse(x - dLeeway, y - dLeeway, w + dLeeway * 2, h + dLeeway * 2) With sr(2): .OrderBackOne: .Fill.ApplyNoFill: End With sr.Shapes.All.Ungroup
End Sub

I have been upgrading to X6 from X5. I wanted to install a CorelDRAW macro called "Function Plotter", written by Alex Vakulenko, into X6. When upgrading from X4 to X5 I just manually placed a certain file (Plotter14.gms) into the Draw GMS folder in the program directory. Then back in CorelDRAW X5 I choose Tools > Options > Customization > Commands in order to place an icon in the toolbar, making access to the macro. It worked back then. However when I try the same procedure in X6 it doesn't work. I can see the file under "Commands" and place an icon, but nothing happens when I press the button. Maybe it has something to do with 64 bit, which from what I can see in this Forum causes a lot of trouble (scanner drivers, plugins, etc)?
This macro is extremely important for me. I have tried contacting Alex, but with no success so far. In the meanwhile I need to install X5 again..

I'm writing a macro that will take a .cdr file, import it, and then do something with it. When I first run the macro, I would like an "open file" browser to pop-up so that the user may navigate and specify which .cdr file to import.

Most imported designs are 100%. I'd like a code that at a push of a button reduced to 10% or any other setting i can change it to. Reason being, we all use different scale modes and sometimes artwork is huge. I need to shrink it down.
Is this possible w/o manually typing in the values?

I use the supplied macro in X5 to convert CDR to EPS which works fine for me, but my only problem is sometimes fonts default since some of those CDR files are not created on the same PC I use the macro.
Is there anyway to get the Font Matching dialog box displayed, so that I subsituute to a font of my choice rather then it use other fonts?

I am just newly figuring out that I can complete repetitive tasks by recording a macro, simple right? I am trying to power clip an imported image into a shape via macro but it is not working.. I am getting Run-Time error's... Parameter Index is out of range.
I have one "shape" and 25 different car logo's I am needing to power clip the logo inside the shape with the click of the "macro" and it is just NOT WORKING! I understand that I can complete the task at hand by simply creating 25 bitmaps, one with each logo then simply importing that into my document, but I need to figure this Macro for this out because it will become more complex and time consuming as time goes on and I add more logos and different shapes in which I need to power clip them into. I simply understand that I can hit the "RECORD" button, do what needs done and then hit stop.. then of course do this again later by playing the macro.

How to reposition where this macro launches? With X5 it launches itself on the left about two thirds of the way down the screen which is fine but with X6 it launches itself almost top left and won't remember its position if it is dragged. It's not possible to edit the code.

Does the following macro works with symbols of Coreldraw X5? I mean the symbols/clone feature, where you can duplicate same objects and when you change one automatically the others changes as well. But this is not the traditional clone option of corel draw. URL.....
