Hi Ronny (and anyone interested),
attached is the latest update of the FREE BDSwapImage macro. The latest version has built upon the QuickSwap module (select 2 images and then swap them with one click) by adding a QuickSwapSize module which not only swaps 2 images, but also swaps their sizes.The macro also has the original module SwapImage module which pops up a userform and allows the user to choose how the 2 images are swapped (e.g. swap the position of their top left corners, bottom right corners, etc). Here is a screen capture of how the modules appear in the Macro Manager docker, assign shortcut buttons/keystrokes to make them one click away:
Refer to the video below to see the intented use of this macro:

hi Brian,
Looks good. FWIW, this functionality has been in the commercial Dizzy shaping macro since 2007, and it also includes all alignment and transformation options. Plus much more...

[/quote] Hi Jeff, that is a fully featured commerical macro and looks great!! Mine is free for starters, and is a single purpose macro, which is probably easier to use for its intended purpose. Having only the alignment buttons to select, it has a very simple interface without the distraction of lots of other features. The Dizzy Shaping macro is awesome for those who often use all of those features. Your video didn't show you swapping 2 images of different sizes (and the images swapping sizes), does it do that too? With help from the guys mine also swaps layers and I showed in my video the usefulness of that. i.e. if an image or shape is below another image or shape, you need the image swapping with it to also end up below that image or shape. Best regards,Brian.

I just read back over my post and thought I had better explain one comment which could easily be misinterpreted. What I was getting at with the above comment was "because my macro is free I am not going to add too many features to it" as that would take a lot of time. I also don't want to duplicate commercial macros wherever possible. This is one of the reasons I have traditionally made single-purpose macros only. Most of the macromonster.com macros are much more elaborate and do more than one thing. I must confess that I don't visit macromonster.com often enough to see what is there these days, so there is always the danger that I am going to duplicate something without knowing it. I generally make a macro if someone asks for some kind of functionality that is time consuming in Draw (I take it as a challenge, as I am trying to improve my macro-writing skills); I also make macros which save me a lot of time for the things I do.
I hope you didn't take that comment any other way.
Just in case that last video was confusing with all of the shapes on the screen....here is a clearer view of what is going on:
