Hi all, very new to Macro programming, so please be patient.
I am trying to record a series of steps that include, creating a boundary, adding multiple contours to that boundary, deleting the boundary and then moving the contours back to the original image. I can get the boundary and one contour line, but when I try to break the contour apart, things stop working. I am more than willing to share what I am seeing, or discussing privately. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I am not a programmer, so theres that to contend with also.
Thanks
Troy

Some of the things that you can do in CorelDRAW cannot be recorded in a macro.
If I try recording a macro of breaking apart a contour group, the macro code looks like this:
Sub Macro3() ' Recorded 2018-07-28 Dim OrigSelection As ShapeRange Set OrigSelection = ActiveSelectionRange ActiveSelection.Separate ' Recording of this command is not supported: SplitDualSpotObject End Sub
any suggestions on how to code or write this particular action?
For any automation of this type, an important part of the process is trying to define exactly what you want to accomplish - what you are starting with, and what you want to have at the end.

gotcha. this is the end result I want to achieve.
OK, the other part is the "you are starting with" aspect.
Assuming that you are starting with the text, what are you doing to create those two closed curves?
