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...

Hi.
Yes. That's one helluva macro. Very handy.
Do you guys use this image swap feature a lot?

Hi Greg,
ah, are you the one who was going to modify it to your needs? If so, how did that go, did you manage to pull off what you needed?
Best regards,Brian.
So far so good.
looks good!! Are those ruler images acting as buttons to set presets in the macro, or are they just images to remind the user of the common units which should be used? If you chopped those images up into smaller images, each could act as button to action a preset for the user.
yep. Each one is a button/image.

Nice!
Slowly getting there, just doing a bit here and there when I get a chance. Here is the next step in my Styles macro:
Naturally, I am going to add page numbers to the table of contents, and any of the macro's styles can be used to style the table of contents.
This is another idea - a macro to track time spent on a job. Press Start Job and off she goes. Press stop when taking a break or doing something else, then press Start again. Click End Job when done and the macro creates a new layer on the active page of the document with a report. The report shows original time/date job started, the finish time and all the clock in/clock outs (when you pressed start/stop). The layer created is set to non-printable.
This needs to be a standalone application in case CorelDraw crashes, which would cause the built-in macro to crash too. I will build a standalone version and attempt to add features like tracking more than one job at a time and being able to close the macro and restart it later without losing data. I had to start somewhere and this is it:

Alex, a Corel Employee, made something like this many years back, check this.
Hi Jeff,
wow! that is a pretty comprehensive application. As you know, I am not competing with anyone here, I am just making macros for fun (as a learning exercise as well) and I just give them away for free to anyone who wants them. I couldn't make an application like Vakcer in a million years. Thanks for the link, that was interesting to look at.
I made a much prettier version of time keeper as a standalone about a year ago in Visual Studio 2008 Express, but I had no idea how to link it to a database and so it was pretty useless unless it was left running all the time. I became busy and forgot all about Visual Studio. I have VS Express 2010 now and I want to start playing around with that... it allows for much more attractive interfaces than what we can achieve in VBA and can create Addins like the built-in VSTA editior in CorelDraw can produce.
