CorelDraw add-ons Macros

Hi guys,

I am looking for a Sizer Docker (one that you can take a measurement from existing shape. object, etc. and resize with a different one). I am also looking for Scale Docker that can select object and change the scale.

Would be better if there was a Docker with it, I am not sure what is available on the market that has the Docker.

I currently have both of these in X6 but with an old code that is somewhat unusable since it was made a long time ago by someone that was not a programmer. Used it till now and it was not that bad but now I need to upgrade machines to CorelDraw 2018 and was wondering if there is an easy way to find these.

Thanks in advance!

  • What about "Object coordinates" under Window/Dockers?

    • Not working, I need a way to select an existing object (ex. letters on a logo) and rescale them based on the first letter only for example

      • The Attributes Eyedropper?

        • Works for one shape only but I need it to resize a whole text but only by selecting the square letter. I don't know if I am explaining correctly. Basically I want to select the size of the first letter and resize the rest based on that letter but the rest follow accordingly, so instead of using the percentage and the third rule, which is not accurate enough, I would use the tool.

          I don't think it exist in Corel itself but that would be really nice.

          • The Attributes Eyedropper do this, choosimg an specific size or choosing "distortion"

            • I understand it does but the rest of the text is scaled to the size of the existing object selected... What I want is to change the first letter to a specific size and have the rest of the text to follow that letter... That way if I have "C" letters or whatever letters that are bigger than my square letters they do not count in the calculation and the first letters is the one scaled to the specific size but the rest are changing according to this first one.

              • I know that this doesn't address all of the things that a macro might do, but for the specific case of scaling Artistic Text to make a particular character a specific size, take a look at this thread: Sizing??.

                Chris shows what I think is a very clever use of Smart Fill and PowerClip to carry out that sort of resizing. It doesn't even require converting the text to curves.

            • Think I've found something for the Sizer:

              Don't know how good it works but this is basically what I need. Select a size from an object and scale the whole logo accordingly.

              Is there anything else on the market?
