Shortcut of the day: Corel Draw - Repeat

Maybe you know the shortcut, maybe not. But I'm sure you are familiar with situation when you need to change larger amount of objects and it's impossible to apply select all and do the change. Maybe you want to resize them, maybe change the outline...  maybe they are already grouped therefor it's not possible to change them all at once.

So change one object, then select second and press CTRL+R and your last change will be transferred to a new object. Easy and very handy. You can repeat same command as many times as you want... It's not so easy as selecting all objects and apply the change once - but sometimes you have no other choice. And it's really fast. Tens of object within few minutes.

Unable to add macro shortcut to toolbar in Corel Draw

You can easily add macro shortcut icon on your toolbar in Corel Draw. Just click on Tools > Customization > Commands and select from list of macros the one you wish to add and drag icon to desired place. Just make sure that toolbars are unlocked.

 But what if it’s not working?

 If you are unable to add macro on your toolbar in Corel Draw - the solution might be very simple…. Maybe you are just using mouse as left handed - so you have switched primary buttons. My Corel Draw X5 is not available to drag and drop command icon to toolbar when using left hand mouse. When I switched buttons back - everything works again. So please try :)
