Would you like to export specified shapes only from many pages of your document any time you make some changes, but with a single click? You may do it without using any slices. I called my own alternative as Export Slice Objects (ESO). In contrast to standard slicing technique with using a special layer and drawing slice rectangles, in my solution - you assign a special information directly into shapes which you want to export. Another difference is that you may change position and resize this marked shapes within your document and you will still be able to export only this objects properly.

You may export any kind of CorelDRAW shapes using this technique. Only thing you must do is to setup this shapes first. This is done by selecting a desired shape and run mark for ESO macro mark for ESO icon. This operation works in two ways:

  • Marks selected object to be exported later
  • Assign the output file name

Optionally you may set custom resolution and Anti-Aliasing for objects.

I use this macros especially for exporting a number screenshots for Krasbit Layouter to use in my documentation. Therefore default settings are ESO resolution: 72 dpi and Anti-Aliasing: 0 (none) to get 1:1 sharp jpeg files for my screenshots. If you want use ESO for vector graphics or custom groups of objects, then you should use Anti-Aliasing.
 
When you finished with marking objects you want to export, save your project and run export the marked ESO objects export ESO objects macro. Once you take some time to assign ESO names for objects, then you may export jpeg files for all of marked objects with one command any time you make some changes for the objects. All of files will be generated into a subdirectory where the active document resides with the name same as the document name + suffix "_ESO".
