What is a macro for CorelDraw?

Macros are programs that function inside of CorelDraw 9 and up. VBA macros are written in a Microsoft Programming Language, Visual Basic for Applications. Macros are for automating tasks in CorelDraw. CorelDraw 10 was the first Draw version to support separate gms files or macros. Macros can perform repetitive tasks as well as functions that the program couldn't normally do easily. They can speed up your workflow and make things much easier for you. Click on some of the links on the right to see some of the different macros I created that can help you with your work.

HAVE FUN!
