CorelDRAW X3 :: Macros Disabled After Updating To MS Office 2010
Mar 22, 2012
I work for graphics company who uses Corel heavily for all of our graphics work. We have custom built macros that were made to save our art into our database to then be accessed through Microsoft Access.
We've had these Macros running for many years and have never had any issues. Due to a mail server crash we moved to Office 365; a cloud based mail server. We then started updating our machines to Office 2010 to be able to use our new cloud based email locally.
The issue is once we upgraded to MS Office 2010 our macro stopped working and we cannot see where the issue is being caused. The weird thing is it's on both XP and Win7 machines.
We've uninstalled and re-installed Corel with no luck. I've changed permissions in Win7 and it has done nothing.
I installed the X5 suite and updates, set up my macros, and everything was working fine. When I restarted Coreldraw, all my macros were disabled? I uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled, and the same thing happened again. Everything works fine in X4.
When I open drawings created by others, I get a message " Specify font for Style OPT and "Arial Unicode MS" and a host of other fonts appear in the table. If I substitute this with Arial from the drop down list then the drawing opens. I believe Auto Cad automatically picks up either the SHX files in its own font directory or font files from MS office. My computer has Arial Unicode files in C:/Windows /Font directory and I do not know why it is not picking up the font from that file.
Using Set Sheet Manager, I am trying to create an Office Standard Sheet Index Table.
I have begun by copying the Standard table and modifying it. I have adjusted the cell styles to reflect our colors and text types and sizes. I have also added two additional columns for revision number and revision date.
I have tried saving the new table ... and inserting a new table through the sheet set manager
the only tables i can bring in include the 2 original columns (sheet number and sheet title) and specified text font, size and color are maintained, but the additional columns and the column width are lost.
Ideally i would like the office format to be maintained...with little or no modification required of the user.
Without our office, we set up Sheet Sets for every set of drawings we produce, and we setup Page Setup Overrides specific to those drawings from which we can print. We may setup one for printing fullsize PDFs, another for in-house half-size plots, and another for 11x17 printing. The Overrides are saved on our office network.
We've been having an issue where the plotter(s) in the various Overrides won't work initially when someone other than the creator is printing. That person will have to open up the 'Manage Page Setup Overrides' tab, select 'Modify' for the Override they wish to change, and select the plotter to use in that Override (the plotter always defaults to 'None'). They can publish from that particular drawing set just fine until someone else in the office needs to print using an Override, in which case they go through the same procedure listed above.
We're using network printers only, and we've verified that the printer names, ports, etc. are all the same between the various computers, so different naming or port selection doesn't seem to be an issue.
I've got an admission form in pdf format. I tried everything every converter but it didn't gave a perfect result, then i tried to import pdf into coreldraw x6 & it looks perfect but the problem is I need to provide this document in editable doc format. I've pasted link below to find both pdf & cdr file.
I've deleted my test macro from my .CDR file via Tools -> Visual Basic... But after closing Corel and opening that file again, it says that it "contains macros"
macros are all disabled and i remembered there is a command to disable all the events but i could not figure out where exactly it is located and even i tried to reinstall the using modiy and repair twice times to install the software but still persists to activate the macros.
all the macros are grayed out and even Alt F11 also not working.
Assigning shortcuts to macros? I did some but now the option to select macros has completely disappeared.
Correction - all my macros have disappeared. The macro manager is showing up empty. It's as if X6 can't see any macros at all. Delay Load is unchecked.
Just noticed the file name window is named "trial expired" - yet I can open a file.
I am trying to switch from X3 to X5, I moved my macros to the X5 GMS folder but the macros don't show up under "Macros" in the customization dialog. I can do Menu>Tools>Macros>Run Macro... and run a macro like that but I would like t be able to assign shortcut keys to the macros and create tool bars, but so far no luck with that.
I am using AutoCad 2012, with CADDUCT. On my runs of duct that go vertical, I like to stack my tag numbers beside the riser in order, so our installers can easily identify the order without a ton of section views. I am trying to figure out a macro that will do numerous things. Since my tags come out at different rotation angles, I would like to do the following commands.
Rotate object text "TAG #" to 0 degrees
move object text "TAG #" to "Snap from" & "snap insert" 6" below the tag above it
I want the numbers to align by their insert locations up and down the page, and exactly 6" on center vertically from one another. The tag numbers have a node justified to the center up and down of the text.
I have created a macro to change the Country of Origin text in a cd label file and I also have created a macro to remove some guide rings in the same label file but I am unable to combine the 2 macros into one macro I can run on the cd label file. The code for each macro is as below.
'TextReplacePublic Function FindReplace(ByVal str As String, ByVal toFind As String, ByVal toReplace As String) As String Dim i As Integer For i = 1 To Len(str) If Mid(str, i, Len(toFind)) = toFind Then ' does the string match? FindReplace = FindReplace & toReplace ' add the new replacement to the final result i = i + (Len(toFind) - 1) ' move to the character after the toFind Else FindReplace = FindReplace & Mid(str, i, 1) ' add a character End If Next iEnd Function
Public Sub TextTranslate() Dim s As Shape ActiveDocument.BeginCommandGroup "Text Translate" For Each s In ActiveDocument.ActivePage.Shapes If s.Type = cdrTextShape Then s.Text.Story = FindReplace(s.Text.Story, "Recorded in Ireland", "Recorded in China") s.Text.Story = FindReplace(s.Text.Story, "Printed in Ireland", "Printed in China") End If Next s ActiveDocument.EndCommandGroupEnd Sub
how I could (1) join the 2 macros above or (2) create a batch macro for each macro above I could run to update all coreldraw cd label files in a folder.
I have a form I'm creating in CorelDraw and I would like to be able to input numbers and have a table that performs calculations similar to what Excel does. It's basically going to add up prices and then calculate tax.
I'm wanting to cut a shape out of a rectangle from a macro. I need to do this on hundreds of files. I tried to do the following while recording a macro:
Select all shapes Run Arrange->Shaping->Back Minus Front
However, this just results in this comment being recorded: "Recording of this command is not supported: ShapingCommand"
How to call the shaping commands from VBA? I've dug through offline and online documentation and have come up with nothing.
Still on the basics, here's a demo video that includes adding a macro form and sizing of some selected shapes. I had fun doing this one but it's hard trying to squeeze everything into a short video (to keep video file size low).
I found Oberon Fit Objects To Path as a very interesting macro and i tried to download it.I have downloaded the zip file from Oberon website , but an Error showed up on my screen saying: "Unable to find CorelDraw x5 installation"...
I know the reason for this is because of the x5 version, which i don't have in my system.But i have also downloaded some other macros that are x4 or x5 versions and they are working excellent on my CorelDraw x6.
Any other macros similar to the "oberon Fit Objects To Path" macro?
I have encountered the paste as block command of using AutoCAD 2012. i exploded the block and modified. After that i select the objects that i exploded and want to create another block again. I could do it before now most of the time when i select the objects and used the commond option " copy with base point" . When i select the base poing it took about 7-8 seconds( which is supposed to be very long) and in the commond line it display as Img-1. After i selected the base point..again it will take a few seconds and display the following Img-2 & Img-3. And my autocad performance is really slow nowadays. Any option i can do for faster speed? Especially whenever i select the object i hv to wait about 3 seconds.
I opened a file I had been working on yesterday on a different Mac, and got the error message: "3D functionality is currently disabled due to OpenGL being disabled." I am currently using MacBook Pro (2008), running Mac OS 10.9, using PhotoShop CC. I've already looked at Ps Preferences>Performance and I see this.
I am using Windows7 (64 bit) machine and CorelDRAW X6 (64 bit) software and also installed HP 5610 all-in-one scanner / printer but i noticed in CorelDRAW X6 / Corel PP x6 acquire image >> select source... and acquire.. are disable.
it is bug or need some more software to enable for CorelDRAW x6 because HP 5610 Scanner work with other software.
In my color separations in print preview the "use advanced settings" is disabled.
I have loaded cdr graphics suite 12 on my new laptop w/windows 7, and also on my old machine that I have loaded windows 7 on. Cannot register the program any more due to outdated version. problem exists on both computers.
There are other minor issues but this one I use regularly.
After a likely upgrade to windows update opentype fonts are no longer 'displayed in coreldraw X3 X4 X5 X6 on any computer. it was necessary to restore the computer to the previous date, coreldraw uninstall and disable automatic updates. The problem is only on Coreldraw. In word and photoshop fonts were displayed correctly. The problem is serious because many studies have Opentype fonts and files appear blank.This update from window I will not have 'never install it?
I have inherited the task of maintining out companies tool palette for all standard blocks. In my efforts I have found a number is issues with the blocks and have made efforts to update the blocks, first using bedit and then by navigating to the palette directory folder where the .dwg files for the blocks are stored. Regardless of these files being changed the palette still inserts the block revision prior to my changes. I have even re-imported the template file to no avail.
Is there a way to have to palette reference the updated files or is there a better way to update these blocks so the palette recognizes the changes immediately?
I'm attempting to create a table within autocad that I can update as I add new things to my drawing.
I have a ton of dblocks that carry attributes with them, and I want to be able to have the table in autocad populate with the information from each insertion.
The table in autocad will be linked to an excel spreadsheet that should also be updated (either as a separate action or automatically... not sure what would be better).
The table in excel will go through a system of formula that will divide it up into useable groups for me. How do I update a table within Autocad, instead of having to create a new table every time I want to add data to the extraction information?
Any settings that will automatically check changes to an xref and re-load it instead of just telling you "an xref needs reloading"? the problem is occuring when i go to publish and i end up with out-dated info because acad doesn't auto-refresh the xrefs.
I have multiple of the same drawings. The drawing will stay the same but the device names will be different for each drawing. Is there a way to have a excel lookup table for each device and each drawing can reference to ?
