Corel VBA Macro to Export Mutliple File Formats

Post by SignTorch Vector Art »

Someone asked how to export DXF, JPG, and PLT files all at once in corel.

Here is a corel vba macro to do that, with 3 gif images describing how to use it

savex.zip

Step 1 describes where to put the macro file

Step 2 describes how to make it a toolbar button in corel

Step 3 describes how to edit the macro code file to choose which formats to export or not

All done in X3, other versions may look different but should work much the same. It should work in any version of corel back to 11 or whenever they added vba support.

It is very minimal, it just exports the current file without asking any questions or presenting any options.

It exports files with the same name and location as the current file only with different extensions, and overwrites any existing files with the same name.

It uses corel default export settings for each file type, so whatever settings were in effect the last time you exported to each format will apply.

Typically you'd always save your work in .CDR or .CMX files, and use this to export a standard set of other common formats needed for downstream processing.
