can we repeat a cropmark macro like tiler to all pages after we use on single page ?
exactly..
or can we create a command that can repeat my last action to all pages
for example
crop mark to all page, change size to all page, center to all page or any thing which i want to repeat on my other pages with undo to all pages too ?

Some of the things you want to do could be accomplished by writing VBA macros. Depending on your needs, you might want to invest some time in learning more about writing them.
For repetitive tasks, it is often possible to accomplish a lot with a relatively small amount of code.
Sub do_something_all_pages()Dim p As Page For Each p In ActiveDocument.Pages 'Do something with this page; here's an example using page width. p.SizeWidth = 20 Next pEnd Sub

Both CorelDraw and Excel can be automated using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
If you are trying to learn how to do it in CorelDraw, I think it's useful to look at examples of CorelDraw macros, because those will show how VBA can be used to work with the "object model" of CorelDraw.
One way to get a hands-on introduction to VBA in CorelDraw would be to use some of the really nice tutorials that John put together:
GDG Macros VBA Lessons
Some of the information in the first lesson might not work for you, because it shows a way of creating a new VBA project in X3 using a Windows XP setup.
Here is how I would set up a new VBA project in CorelDraw in X7 on my Windows 7 system:
In CorelDraw, open the Macro Manager docker:
Right-click on "Visual Basic for Applications":
Click on "New Macro Project..." to get to this dialog:
Type in the name of your new project, click "Save", and then see that the new project is present in the Macro Manager:
Also, the way to get to the macro editor is a little bit different. In X7, I would use Tools>Macros>Macro Editor... to open it:
When the editor opens, the new macro project is there:
I think that, from there, you would be ready to type in a first "Hello, World!" macro - and then move on.
Already in Lesson 2, John gives an example that involves "doing something" on all pages of a document - so you are learning something that is useful right away!
paraggoyal said:m sorry i tried this just like gdg lessons but cant able to understand how to use that with tiler that can run through all the pages in once.. can you help me out?
If you look at some of your recent threads, you may see that people were able to help you only after they understood exactly what you wanted to do.

First of all, you shouldn't ask a macro for each task you want to do. You should respect the time and works of other users. Think that you couldn't edit the Oberon tiler macro, so they need to develop a similar macro just for you. Maybe it's better to ask Alex (the creator of Oberon macros) to modify it instead. Some jobs are more simple to do manually than use a macro. For example, how many seconds you'll need for use Tiler on 5 pages? You can add a shortcut for fast access, then you can do it in just one minute, less time than develop a macro and use it. Moreover, if you need to use the same options on a 100 pages document, you can use the Imposition features on the Print preview, all pages at the same time, and if you use it frequently you can save it as a preset.
