Hi everybody, this is my first post in this forum and my entire knowledge of CorelDraw is using it for laser cutting. So my apologies in advance if I'm making any mistakes (e.g. asking the question in the wrong forum etc)
We have a laser cutting machine in our lab which uses coreldraw to export the drawings to laser cutting software as virtual printer. We also use solidworks to draw the sketches and export as DXF. when opening the DXF files in CorelDraw one has to do a lot of adjustments which is irritating and time consuming. I want to write a macro which automates these steps. consider this drawing for example:
the steps to adjust this drawing are:
I was wondering if any of you could help me to know how I can write this macro.
Thanks in advance
P.S. here you may find an example of the dxf file.
all but step 2 is possible.
removing the centerlines would be possible if they were named shapes.
If you upload an example DXF file, then anyone interested could look at how it imports into CorelDRAW.
If the centerlines, for example, always import into CorelDRAW with a distinctive line width, then that might be a convenient way to identify them.
For what it's worth, I've already written a macro that does items 6 and 7 on your list (i.e., fits the page to the content, with a specified margin).
I though so
How can I upload dxf files here? I can't attache
here the link to the file
Could you please share your macro as well?
What version of CorelDRAW are you using?
