Hello CorelDraw Experts,
I would like to start learning and working with macros. It said in Corel Help that I need a Microsoft Visual Studio 2012. What Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 do I need and where do I get it? There are so many apps and I am not sure which one to download. Could someone please point me to a link?
I use CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X7. I found a tutorial on the Internet but when I go to Tools - Macros - Start Recording, I can not Save Macros, the area in the window is blank.
I wrote to Corel technical support but the answer was: "... we do not have support regarding MACROS because that is out of our scope. However, I would like you to refer on our forums and ask our experts there..."
So where do I start? Could someone direct me, please?
Thank you in advance.
Thank you for helping me. I don't have the screen as you have. I have Windows 10.
I got that:
and when I click on Uninstall I am getting that and I can't access Modify:
Also, It said in CorelHelp:
To use VSTA with CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, you must have your own copy of Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 or later installed.
So I went to Microsoft site and tried to download something, but it is so many options, I checked all of them. Which one do I actually need to use with CorelDraw?
This really depends on what you want to do.
You can do macro work in CorelDRAW with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). That is included with CorelDRAW; you don't need to get anything extra from Microsoft (but you do need to get VBA installed).
Doing macro work with VSTA is something with which I have no personal experience.
Now I understand that VBA should be included but I can't find it...

If I were doing this, I would only spend a modest amount of time on it before moving on to a full uninstall/reinstall of CorelDRAW.
If I had any serious investment in workspace customization, then I would make sure that I had copies of my workspace saved in a safe place before doing that.
Thank you. How do I know if I have a workspace?
