Hi,
I'm struggling with creating a macro to convert the lines of the selected object into curves. This is the process I have been using:
1: Create a simple triangle made up of lines
2: Select the shape
3: Start macro recording
4 : Select shape tool
5: Select all nodes
6: Convert line to curves
7:stop recording.
When ever I run this macro it will change my new shape back to the original triangle shape I created in step 1, any ideas what I'm doing wrong?!
Thanks
David
Some things in CorelDRAW do not record the way that one might imagine they would - or record at all in some cases - as VBA code.
Here's something quick-and-dirty to try to do that task. It doesn't have any niceties in it such as checking if an object is selected, if it's a single object, if it's a curve shape, etc.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Sub line_segs_to_curve_segs() Dim s As Shape Dim ThisSeg As Segment Dim lngLineCounter As Long Set s = ActiveShape For Each ThisSeg In s.Curve.Segments If ThisSeg.Type = cdrLineSegment Then ThisSeg.Type = cdrCurveSegment lngLineCounter = lngLineCounter + 1 End If Next ThisSeg MsgBox "Number of segments converted from line to curve: " & lngLineCounter End Sub
Perfect, thanks so much, this worked a treat and will save me a lot of repetitive key strokes
You're welcome.
This is the sort of task where one can "do a lot with a little" VBA code.
