Hello,
it seems that CorelDraw gets the name for the creator of a document from the Windows system (user).
How can I define a new standard name which is always saved with the new file cdr? (or no name at all)
Thank you.
One option would be to create new documents based on a template. I think that, when it is done that way, the "Author" metadata field comes from the template.
Myron is correct that you can set up CorelDRAW to run a macro automatically, triggered by certain events.
You can do that by putting something like this in the ThisMacroStorage module of a VBA project:
Private Sub GlobalMacroStorage_DocumentNew(ByVal Doc As Document, ByVal FromTemplate As Boolean, ByVal Template As String, ByVal IncludeGraphics As Boolean) ActiveDocument.Metadata.Author = "Axel Foley" End Sub
That will automatically change the "Author" metadata to "Axel Foley" after a document is created.
If you wanted no name there at all, you could replace "Axel Foley" with "".
thank you very much! This works indeed. great help.
