Use of Script Macros In CorelDraw

Coreldraw is a powerful drawing tool that can be used to create complex vector graphics. It has been around for a long time and is still one of the most popular drawing tools out there. Coreldraw macro is the software that allows users to automate the process of creating these drawings. It allows users to create complex drawings by just clicking a button in the software. Script macros are a great way to automate repetitive tasks in CorelDraw. They can be used for anything from drawing common shapes and lines to complex shapes with many layers. Script macros are similar to keyboard shortcuts, but they work differently. They allow you to create your own custom commands that you can use instead of the default ones. You can also customize these commands so that they will fit your specific needs better than the default ones do. Hello friends, Welcome back to Learnvern. In the last lecture we understood how to propery as well as theoretically now we have to see what is Script Macros? How important is it to learn that? Whenever you want to do some work speedily or you have to deliver something then you can use this. It is very amazing and it will be very helpful for everyone. So let's start practical. For example you have created many posts like this, you have created many things on many pages and now you have to export it so now what will I do. CTRL + E Wherever I want to give the destination I will give it then I will ready the formation here JPG and I will name it as festival post. I will click on export. You always have to select the “ selected only” tab before doing the export so that any particles around it won’t export with it. So then you have to export it. Here your image will come. okay. In settings if you want to print then CMYK and if you want to give digitally then RGB. See, a little bit of colour is changed. in quality you always have to select the highest. rest all have to be as it is. you don’t have to do anything resolution will always be 3 How many images are there -seven. many times will be 15,20,50 you cannot do like this for 50 images. CTRL + E. like this you have to repeat the entire process. you think that there should be such a tool in which we will give just one click and all the images whether they are 50 or hundred are exported with the same resolution in just a click. you don’t have to go on every image and click on it like this you have to do this in this you have to give RGB etc. Yes, there is such a tool which is known as Script Macros. So let us start. So from all the seven images we will go on the first one after that you have to go in tools. In tools there is this fourth number option as Scripts in that you have to click on Run Scripts. Please write down the process. We will replay this again but watch this very carefully how it is done. You don’t have to apply logic, we just have to understand how it is done. Run script. Okay. So the run macro is open. Below that is “ Macros in”. So you have to click here. There is this option “ file converter”. Converter means it will convert our images to JPG form. We will click on the file converter. After that comes the run. We will click on run. Source Destination Convert to. Ok. Three things are there. Ok. That we will see. Hear what you have to do as I have already entered the source but whenever you have to enter the source you have to click on source and then wherever is your file in your desktop you just have to click on it like my file is in this CDR files so I have given okay. You will not be able to see your file there you just have to click on okay. Ok. Here you may be asked for file type so that the files of only that type will be shown there if you will do all files here so you will see all the files which are there in the folder like JPG & PNG. All the files will be there. As of now you only need a CDR file. So I have clicked on the CDR file. So only CDR files are there. There is also a path there. like in E:/ drive in Chetan like this whole path is here. I have clicked on a festival post and added it. This is now added. Now you only have to click on ok. What we did was we just showed it a destination from where it has to take a CDR file. Then Destination. Where we have to keep all the JPG files on the desktop. First we will create a folder on the desktop named as post. The folder is made. Now we will double click on the desktop and then we have to click on the folder we’ve made as a post. Now we just have to click on okay. We have given a path to that as well. That all of the festival posts should be kept here. After that comes JPG. Here you have to find JPG and select it because you have to convert the CDR file into JPG file. After that will come an option - save each page as a separate file. There should be a separate file for every image. Okay so you have to click on that. After that you have to click on resolution. Resolution will be 300 as always. Okay. This is also done. This as well is done. Now you only have to click on convert And if you want to give it for a print you can select the colour mode from here the way you like. But as of now we are using it for digital purposes only so we will take RGB and then click on convert. It will take some time for converting and the file will automatically close. Whichever file was open will automatically close and the notification will pop up that file conversion has completed. Our file is now complete. Okay. Now we will check if our post is perfect or not. See all of our seven images are here with good resolution and in a very proper way without any hassle are here with just one click it is now exported. Ok. It is very much helpful whenever you are working on a big project or some big pages. This will help you a lot. Okay. We will see you once again. I have shown you this path. We will take a quick look again so that you can understand properly. Sometimes we click on all Pages so what that will do is make all the images as 10 x 10. See this image can’t be 10*10. If it will be 10*10 and exported in macros then the image will be slightly cut and some extended area will be there. It will create a problem. So you always have to select on the current page and so that every page will be as in the size of as it was before. This sheet should be equal to the size of our post. Canvas size should be the same. You always have to remember to never make this mistake in macros. Ok. This much things are done. Once again go to tools and then scripts then run scripts then file converter and then run. We have to give a destination wherever our file is. Source you can see and then file type. File type will be CDR. You have to give the proper destination where your file is. Pause I have kept it in a CDR file. Just click on OK. You will not see anything here below that there will be two files in one folder you have to click on it then add it and then click on okay. And then you have to select the conversion type you want like JPG, PNG, AI, JPEG, GIF. You have to give the destination properly aware you want to keep all these files. Then resolution will be 300. We will delete the previous post so that it doesn’t overlap. This is done now you just have to convert it. As soon as you click on convert this file will be closed and a pop-up will come that file conversion has completed. That’s it. This is a very small thing and very easy but very helpful whenever you are working on big projects or big brochures or big pages. It will help you a lot at that time you will not have to do export for every single file. If in this entire process like for giving a path or anything. If you have any queries or comments, click the discussion button below the video and post there. This way, you will be able to connect to fellow learners and discuss the course. Also, Our Team will try to solve your queries. We will try to resolve your query as soon as possible and you will be able to work on your own without any problem. You have to make 18 or 20 images like this and make pages for that or the images you have created till now in assignment, put all of them in one folder and save them. Then with the help of script macros export them and practice about it. You just have to do this once so that you will remember it and even if you want you can go for 50 images as well. Okay. As you wish. Here we have learnt about using script macros. it is now complete and in the next topic we will learn about data merge. It is a big tool and very helpful as well. Which will make our work very easy. Whenever we will have some data analysing work or any big project like making i-cards it will be very helpful then. We will not have to work manually. Ok. So we will learn data merge in the next lecture. Thank you.
