IS Coreldraw able to remember the previous printing settings like illustrator does? For example, it remembers you printed A3size last time, otherwise, i have to adjust the settings everytime.
but seems i cannot find a way to make Coreldraw to remember what i did last time.
if someone could help with this?
thanks a lot.
Do you have a page size that you use the most? If so, make it the default page size, thusly:
Open corelDRAW, select the page size that you want as the default page dimensions.
Then from the menu, click on Tools->Save Settings As Default.
Other than that, I do not know of a way to make Draw or PP to 'remember' what page size you used previously.
thank you hugh.
that's really helpful.i will do what you pointed and see what will happen.
one more question, i normally print A4 size paper, so i save A4 settings as Default.
but once I open a A3 template and print A3 size paper, does the Default settings still be A4 settings?
thanks again.
The default settings apply to any new document that you start. So, if A3 is your 'default' size and you have an A4 page open in CorelDRAW and you click on 'New', you will end up with a new document that is (by default) A3 size.
so i cannot have different settings for particular template..
thats not a good news for me.
but, anyway, thank you for your help, i really appreciate
You can save your printing preferences in the Print Dialog Box, but I don't think that paper size is included in those settings. The only way I can think of is via VBA. At work I have my printer is set to 12.5"X18" default size which is the size I use most of the time; but ocassionally I have to print in letter size so I wrote two macros that adjust the paper size and set the orientation, one for portrait and the other one for landscape and made toolbar buttons for them, so now, whenever I need to print in letter size all I do is press one of those buttons and that's it, the dialog box doesn't even open, it just prints in 8.5"X11".
thank you very much for the valuable tip.
it gives me an idea how to make my work efficiently.
but i have no idea about VBA stuff, need to learn it 1st.
Another thought just occurred to me. You did mention 'templates', so I am thinking, why not have two templates that are the same, except for page size? In other words, take a template that is set up for an A4 page size and change the page size to A3 and then save it as a template, giving it a name that differentiates it from the original template.
Then whenever you start on a new document/project/etc., you can start from a template that is already set up with the correct page size.
