Scripts are short programs that use the Corel SCRIPT programming language to automate simple tasks. For example, you can play a script that applies a preset fill to a selected object.
|
For CorelDRAW versions 6 through 9, the only method for automating tasks
was using the Corel SCRIPT language to create scripts. The Visual Basic for
Applications (VBA) engine, which has been supported by CorelDRAW since
version 10, can be used to create macros that automate more complex tasks
than Corel SCRIPT scripts. Although CorelDRAW continues to support
Corel SCRIPT, it is strongly recommended that you use macros, rather than
scripts, to automate tasks. For more information, see Working with macros.
