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.
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.
thank you for your reply.
then main problem is if save an A3 size as Default setting in Coreldraw, the printer Dialog Box still need you to select A3 size manually for printing perferences. despite I can change the printing perferences settings permanantly to A3 size, however, when i print A4 size paper, it wont change itself to A4 still on A3 default setting.
what i want to do is that, A3 template changes the settings to A3 printing perference automatically, and A4 template with A4 printing perference.seems it's hard to make that happen.
This should work:
Sub SetA4()ActiveDocument.PrintSettings.SetPaperSize prnPaperSizeA4, prnPaperPortrait End Sub
End Sub
thanks a lot buddy.this is what i want. i really appreciate your help. very helpful.I made an A3 one and also an A4 one.
Sub SetA3()ActiveDocument.PrintSettings.SetPaperSize prnPaperSizeA3, prnPaperLandscapeEnd Sub
frankly, i have no idea about Macro things. you mentioned when u gonna print stuff, just simply press the particular button which been made by yourself. i'm wondering how do i create a button for A3 and A4 separately on the toolbar?
-Go to Options>Customizations>Commands>
-click the field that says "File" and change it to "macros".
-Look for "GlobalMacros.SetA3".
-drag the macro icon to the toolbar wher you want it.
-In the tab that says "appearance" you can change its name and icon.
-you can also drag it to a menu of give it a keyboard shortcut.
HI leunam12
thank you very very very (heaps) much.
everything is sorted out. u r a star :)
you're welcome, that was an easy one.
Hi leunam12
Today i have tested the Macros stuff. All good. it works perfect. Can i ask one more Macros coding thing?
how can i add in Current page for Printing perferences?
coolone said:Sub SetA3()ActiveDocument.PrintSettings.SetPaperSize prnPaperSizeA3, prnPaperLandscape ActiveDocument.PrintSettings.PrintRange = prnCurrentPage End Sub
ActiveDocument.PrintSettings.PrintRange = prnCurrentPage
Add the bold line.
Have fun!
