where can I set the standard name for the document creator?

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 "".
