Is there a way to find any dimensions that I didn't break apart? I have a massive document with many different scales. I realized that somewhere in it I forgot to break apart the dimension lines. I did a search and come up with nothing. However I created a blank document with a couple shapes and dimensions and still came up blank. If I try to do an object search while selecting a dimension line I get an invalid object error. Any idea? Thanks.
There was some discussion in this thread - Are there any existing Macros to find any and all Dynamic Dimensions and turn them off? - about toggling the Dynamic status of dimensions.
Making a dimension non-dynamic may be better than breaking it apart (or not; depends on the situation).
I'm having trouble following that thread. Does the code work in X7 and which post is the correct code? I don't like how you can't see the times of the posts and only general dates.

Isn't this cute, social-media-style forum software wonderful when it comes to finding information? Even when you have found a thread, and you KNOW some piece of information is in there, it's difficult to actually find it. It's tangled up in branches of discussion, and the software likes to hide information.
It would be much easier if they allowed one to view a forum thread - the entire thread - in a flat, chronological order.
Try this one: JQ_dynamic_dims_2019_08_24_2145.zip.
The only reason I posted an "X5" version - which doesn't actually work in X5 - was so that someone who was using X6 could use the .GMS file.
Thank you. Does this work for all recent version too? I'm hoping our company upgrades for us someday.

I don't test my macros exhaustively on all newer versions of CorelDRAW, but in general, I develop the macros in X7 and find that they work in versions newer than X7. There are some annoyances in 2019 and 2020.
For my macros that create temporary "on screen" shapes, 2019 has some problems with messing up the display of those shapes in some situations. That has been fixed in 2020.
For my macros that create new shapes, the new shapes do not automatically appear in the Objects docker in 2019 and 2020 - even though the objects have been created, and I have told CorelDRAW to "Refresh". Eventually, the Objects docker will get updated - or the user can close/open the Objects docker to force it to update.
Those are annoyances, but I am not aware of any of my macros that actually doesn't work in X7 and newer versions.
Awesome. Thank you.
