Macro for create boundary option

I would like to create a macro for create boundary option shown under Effects. I would like to automate it for a batch job I need to run. When I record the macro, it shows a set of numbers where it tries to create a set of curve segments. I am not sure how to automate it. I really need some assistance on this.

You can find a simple example here: CreateBoundary or you can look here and see how I used it in my quick weed script: Quick Weed If those don't help let me know and I will work up another example.

Best of luck,

I am getting run-time error saying "Component not installed". I am using X3. Is there a patch I need to install? or Are the custom components in a specific CD?

What are you running to get the Error?

Thanks,

Shelby

When I play the VB macro from Tools->VisualBasic->Play, I select the macro with the following code:

Sub CreateBoundary()
Dim s1 As Shape
Set s1 = ActiveSelection.CustomCommand("Boundary", "CreateBoundary")
End Sub

That gives me the run-time error

Are you sure you have something selected? It will only work if you have a selected object, or you get the error.

Best of luck,

The object is selected before I run the script. I am not sure if there is any problem with my installation. I guess I need to approach the tech support. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.

First you are using CorelDRAW X3 Correct? The lets narrow down the selection. Create three rectangles and select them, run the macro and see what happens. I will see if I can add some error handling to this one and see if we can narrow it down. If other macros are working on your system this should.

I did as you said. I am unable to capture the window as such.

This is the exact message I am getting inside the window:

Run-time error '-2147024809 (80070057)'

Component is not installed

Do you have the service pack 1 installed? I'm not 100% sure but the boundary tool automation support might have been added in the service pack...

To check see what is the exact version of CorelDRAW you are running (go to Help>About). SP1 is 13.0.0.667

If you don't have the SP, you can install it from here: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satelli...=1153321227143
