how to trap a "too many nodes" error

Can we code a solution for a selection that is too complex for a function?

e.g.,  CorelDRAW seems to go into an endless loop when asked to to a Contour on a selection with thousands of nodes; doesn't remove itself from memory but requires Task Manager to shut it down and try again.

  • One could write a macro to do a contour but set the macro to first count the number of nodes and if > than 500? then pop up a message that says "Too many nodes" and once you hit ok the macro would stop trying to do the contour. The reduce the number of nodes and try again.
