Corel, at one time offered a free macro to use in CorelDraw that simulated an embroidery effect. I lost mine in a computer crash and was wondering if someone would like to share another copy with me, or point me in the right direction as I can't seem to find it anywhere.
What exactly did it do? (Just asking because Os's has just written a macro that helps to do zig-zag stitching round a path.)
It has been so long but it goes like this from what I can remember...
It was a macro that took a vector dwg from corel and applied a simulated stitch pattern to it (can't remember just how but I think it turn it into a bitmap the end). It was a good tool for creating mock-up patches. I understand that it is included on the CorelDraw X3 DVD by Graphics Unleashed. Buuut we have not upgraded to that yet.
I think that you can still download Embroidery Effect from Drawstitch.
It is a great little macro.

It will produce a bitmap embroidery simulation of a vector graphic and a cross-stitch simulation of a raster. Here are a few samples that I've used for other posts:
