So i use x7 for my work for laser engraving\cutting , and i was hoping to find a list of free macros for x7 that performs some simple - yet repetitive and time consuming tasks
- a macro that rotates an object 90 dgrees
-a macro that rotates selected objects 90 dgrees each by it's anchor point
-a macro that paste an object in the center of the veiw
-a macro that saves a view , give it a shortcut so that whenever you hit the shortcut , it zooms to that view
-a macro that arrange a group of object's in a selected rectangle in a way that saves materials - i think it's called nesting- , this could be a hard one
-a macro that gives more options for editing curves ( creating arcs between 2 circles , slicing curves , fit objects to curves .. etc )
edit 1 :
-a macro that saves objects colors ( fills and outlines ) with shortcuts , by hitting the shortcut it automatically apply the saved fill and outline
-a macro that that works as dimension , but by selecting an object or group of object then running that macro , will automatically draw the dimensions of the object around it
also any macro that you can remember for x7 that's free , is welcomed to be posted
the reason i ask for free macros is because most of these paid macros are hard to purchase ( requires a visa , which i don't own )
thanks in advance

I wrote a macro that does that:
VIDEO: Preferred View Area 01
For that video, I put the two subs on a regular CorelDRAW toolbar. In my normal use, I have those assigned to keyboard shortcuts. Toolbar, menu, or keyboard shortcuts are just regular CorelDRAW workspace customization.
When a preferred view area is saved for a page in a document, the information is stored with the page. When the document is opened in the future, the preferred view information is still there, on a page-by-page basis.
If a preferred view area has not been saved for a page, then "Apply Preferred View Area" zooms to the page.
When I am navigating in a CorelDRAW document page, a lot of it is done using:
When it makes sense to do so, I pair them up to make them easier to remember, e.g., Zoom to Selection Plus is assigned to F4, and Zoom to Page Plus is assigned to Shift+F4.
Some of those keystrokes can also be sent using auxiliary buttons on my mouse.
After developing some "muscle memory", I can really fly.
