hello!
i was wondering, where i could find some useful macros for corel x4! i found some, but i must pay them...?
And, i was trying to make my own macro, but with no success! Let's say i have 20 pictures on workspace. And i would like to all get 2mm frame, size 4x6cm (about resizing, i would do it maunaly).
and another question, how would i set up macro, to export each of these pictures as jpg, under diferent name... (exp Picture1, Picture2,...)?
do i need a lot of programing knowledge to make such macros?
A Google search isn't a bad start...
http://www.google.com.au/search?q=macros+for+corel+draw&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
It lists most of those commonly known to the group here and a few more.
"Do i need a lot of programing knowledge to make such macros?"
I would say yes. I don't think you become OS or Alex over a weekend. Probably having some formal training in Java, which is the normal starting point for newbies, helps to understand basic stuff like arrays and object code is a start.
Depends, I need formal disipline or I've discovered I can stuff around forever and miss the important keys. I think if you read the CVs of those that are good at it most if not all have formal training in some computer language.

Os (the ultimate Corel macro expert) has lots of Corel macros there and maybe one of those will help you out.

ofcourse i use google first! and i found some pages, but i thought that some may not be found, so i asked here... and i get two new pages, that i didn't found when i did last search!
so, i see, that i will have always search for new macros, becouse i'm unable to write them, because i don't nothing about programming!
Thanks guys!

You can record simple macros with the recorder.
And ask the mob if a specific item exists.
And offer a 'bounty' for someone to either help or write a macro for you.
So the only real limit is time you can invest and $ you are will to pay for help. The macro structure itself has very few limitations.
As I see it encouraging development of macros has to come from us as a group and means being willing to pay a little for expertise and not expecting everything to just happen and be free.
