I've playing around trying to write a macro that with the click of one button will remove all my guidelines, not hide them, delete them. I can't seem to make it work.
View 8 RepliesWith the code below, I can delete off-page objects...as long as they are assigned the Desktop layer. If there is no object on that layer, I want a warning box to pop up stating so. How can I do this? I imagine that I'll need If then statement something like 'If .....objects on layer Desktop <0 then pop up warning message box, end if.
Private Sub CommandButton4_Click() ActiveDocument.BeginCommandGroupActiveDocument.MasterPage.DesktopLayer.Shapes.All.Delete ActiveDocument.EndCommandGroupEnd Sub
If there is a way to create a horizontal guide line that will stop at the next vertical guide line instead of going all the way across your template? If not, how would I submit that as something new to add to the next program coming out....it would be great to have that as an option when setting up your guide lines.
View 3 Replies View RelatedNot sure if this is expected behavior but I've found that it's only possible to snap to one type of guide/grid at any given time.
For example if you want to snap to a guideline in the horizontal and the pixel grid in the vertical, you won't be able to. Instead, the snap will work on the guide and completely ignore the pixel grid.
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

View 3 Replies View RelatedUsing 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?

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..

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.

It says : Step 1Run the built in macro. (Tools > Macros > Run Macro). In CorelDRAW versions prior to X4 (Tools > Visual Basic > Play). Select ‘File Converter’ macro from the ‘Macros in’ list and click ‘Run’

I have a need for a macro that I am thinking would be pretty easy to create... I need a macro to cycle through all objects on a page and IF it finds an object that is LARGER than 13" wide, it will unproportionaly size each object to exactly 13" wide (leaving the height of the object alone.) and then after all of the scaling/sizing is complete then to select all objects and right align them (Like when you select all objects and hit the letter R key.

We have certain registration marks that we use on our designs before we print to vellum. How to be able to write a macro that could do the following? I've attached an example image of where we place the registration marks and am also attaching the actual registration mark CDR file. I'm assuming this would probably be rather simple...
We'd like this registration mark to be centered to the image and placed on the top and bottom of the image at .25 inches away from the image itself. So, I would think the macro would have to select the entire image on the page, then decide where .25 inches is away from the top and bottom of the image and place the registration mark, centered in that area.
And in the 157 page Macro PDF (really, did it need to be this long? How about an easy-command sheet), it says you can use the key command Ctrl+Shift+R to start recording... Well, that brings up the ruler.
I use Macros a lot in Excel (I record the commands that I want, then tweak in the editor), so I get how they are supposed to work - but I'm no programmer, and without the ability to record, I'm completely handcuffed. This really shouldn't be 1% as difficult as it has been
How to undo a step in a recorded macro.
Let's say that the macro has 17 steps, instead of hitting undo 17 times... I just have to do it once.
What's this line?
And also where can I find downloadable resources on macro creation and editing?
Here's a macro I've used for quite some time. Feel free to use or modify as needed. Install, select text and run. Hold shift and the selected text will round/curve more.
Why I created? I do a lot of graphics that need the top line of text to be curved. I can easily select the top line and press a button and the macro curves it upwards. If I need more curve I hold shift and run. If I need more or less curve still, I make the item in question, the text, larger or smaller. All done by eye and it's fast.

A macro that will group all alike colours on a page and then copy them to a new page?
We used to have this feature on a product called Vinyl Master. It is really good, but I don't want to run 2 systems for my artwork. We mostly do digital output, but have the requirement to cut vinyl too, mainly for mining vehicles.
It would save a heap of work if we could group all alike colours, then copy to another page, ready for output. Even better if they were nested.
I am looking for a (preferably free) Auto Dimension Macro for X6.
