I've had this time consuming problem many times:For instance, I have several circles scattered over my work space, all the same size. Then I decide that they are a little too big or small. I want to adjust their size, but I have to do it one by one because I want them to stay in their position.Is there a way of changing their size all at once, but keeping them in place?
If you are using the "full" version of CorelDRAW - not the "Home and Student" version - then you could use a VBA macro to do that.
I wrote a macro to do that type of work:

I see. Well, I've never worked with macros before. I guess that shouldn't be a problem, but if I understand you correctly, then there's no way of doing it with just built in functions of Corel Draw?
I'm not aware of a way, using just the built in functions of CorelDRAW, to resize multiple shapes "individually" in a single operation while retaining the position of each shape.
Okay, thank you for your help. I'll think about the macro.

Thank you for this!I'm afraid I have no idea about how to work with codes. I'm not that advanced.But another hint in that thread - using CTRL+R - might be useful to speed up the task a bit.
If you want to try my macro, then just let me know. It's free, not a commercial product.
You don't have to do any "coding" to use the macro. Installation just involves putting the macro (a .GMS file) in the correct folder on your computer.
