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.
Well that sounds easy enough! Then I'd be happy to give it a try. Should I pm you my email address?
Sure, that would work!
