CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X7 Can't set "outline position" on an open shape

Can't set "outline position" on an open shape

I use these as crop marks and although the thickness is set pretty thin already seems it would be more accurate to have an outside line.

One solution may be to move each crop mark outward half the distance of the thickness of the outline.

Added code to my macro to move the "crop marks" as described above. Gotta love solving your own problems.

Hi Myron,

Why would I need crop marks on an object instead of offset? Just asking as I have never wanted them on an object for what I do.

Normally on a print that has color all the way to the edge I don't use crop marks. The crop marks I use are created by a macro I created. Not the ones created as in a pdf print with "prepress markings (I absolutely hate those). Been using it for years. Just happen to be bored and wondered how I could make the marks more true to the way they should be. I never intended for the marks to be "on" the object. I now have them offset properly in the macro.
