I make sales drawings for a manufacturer. In these drawings I show both metric and imperial measurements. Example: 27' 8" 8433 mm. What I normally do is use a conversion calculator someone made in Excel. i type the distance in Excel, then type the answer in CoreI onto the sales drawing. I would prefer it if Corel Draw could just do it. So if it type the metric distance, Corel will automatically insert the correct feet & inches. Along with imputing the feet and inches, Corel puts in the converted metric distance. I tried this with importing a table from Excel into Corel. It did sometimes work, but would Crash Corel constantly. I use Corel Draw Graphics suite X7.
I wrote a little macro that lets one enter values for feet and inches. The macro then cooks up the text string, displays it, and copies it to the clipboard.
The VBA form is still ugly. After I tidy it up a bit, I'll post the GMS file.
This may give you a better idea of what I was looking for. Clicking on the imported Excel cells to edit the numbers will crash Corel after only editing the measurements a couple times. Looking for something that works just inside Corel. So as I type in the feet and inches, the millimeters are automatically added. This way there is only 1 step, not 3.
