I made a simple border image and exported it to svg for my customer. It is 3" x 2.187" yet when she opens it, it is 33.33" x 24.30"
First question: do you have the full version of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite? Or the Home and Student version?
Geniebeanie said:or sure, I don't know what that means but if it will help me avoid issues in the future that would be great. I also need a link to a tutorial how to use it or explain what a VBA macro is :-)
VBA is "Visual Basic for Applications". It's a programming language, and is one of the tools that can be used to "make CorelDRAW do things". The things that can be accomplished that way range from very simple to quite complicated.
Depending on the work that one is doing with CorelDRAW, macros may be of no interest at all, or they may "change one's CorelDRAW world" - it all depends. For some users, the ability to use macros is CorelDRAW's "killer feature".
I wish that I could direct you to a section of the forum specifically for discussion and sharing of macros, from the perspective of general users and do-it-yourself programmers. That would be a great place for a FAQ, tutorials, links to resources, etc. I've pleaded the case, practically begged - and no such area of the forum exists at this time.
The macro I mentioned is a tool that:
In use, it looks like this:
VIDEO: fit page to selection
I only mentioned this macro because it sounded to me as though part of your solution was adjusting the size of the page to be close to the size of the content with which you were working.

I think it's here.
Thank you, Jeff. I'm aware of the existence of the Developer Area.
IMHO, I don't think that is currently serving very well for "discussion and sharing of macros, from the perspective of general users and do-it-yourself programmers".
I think that there is quite a bit more activity in other sections of the forum in the form of posts that are either:
Those questions and answers are currently scattered across a bunch of different version-specific forums where they quickly sink out of sight, and are thus essentially impossible for users to discover by browsing.
Browsing is important for discoverability. How likely is it for someone to search for something that they don't even know exists? In my experience, it is often only after I have seen a tool that I start imagining ways that I might put it to use.
I think that a more-visible, more-inviting "Macros for Users" forum section could have a lot of value.
Wider awareness within the user community of the power of macros could be good for those who sell macros commercially, too.
