Variable Outline Code Examples

Posted 12-03-2023 at 14:47 by shelbym

Introduction

CorelDRAW 2023 has a new Variable Outline Tool. You can also apply a variable outline via code. :-) I have put together a number of VBA examples of how this works. Hopefully you will find these useful.

Code:

Sub TestAddVariableWidthNodes()
    Dim sLine As Shape
    
    Set sLine = ActiveLayer.CreateLineSegment(2, 8, 2, 5)
    sLine.Outline.VariableWidthNodes.Add 0.25, 0.125
    sLine.Outline.VariableWidthNodes.Add 0.5, 0.25

Introduction

Corel has released a new version of CorelDRAW. With the move to the subscription model they have dropped the year version from the name of the appliction but it still installs to a year folder, so for now I will continue to call is 2022. Let's see what is new in the Object Model for 2022. The list is not that long so I will post the entire list here, no need to download a file this year.

Making Your Favorite Macro / Script Better

Introduction

In this post we will be looking at how to modify a Macro / Script in CorelDRAW. Beginning in CorelDRAW 2019 Macros were renamed to Scripts. I have been using CorelDRAW a long time, so I still refer to them as Macros. Just know that depending on your version of CorelDRAW it may use the term Macro or in the newer versions it will use the term Script. The goal of this post is to give you a nudge to try and make an improvement to your favorite macro yourself.
