Recording macros

CorelDRAW offers a recording feature that lets you create a macro without needing to manually code it. For many simple and repetitive tasks, recorded macros are a quick, efficient solution: They store the sequence of keys that you press and the mouse actions that you perform within the application. You may prefer to create macros by recording them if you are not familiar with the object model for the application, or if you are not sure which objects and methods to use.If you want to store a recorded macro for future use, you can save it by using the Record Macro dialog box. Saving a recorded macro is particularly useful if you want to extend or customize its functionality by editing it in the Macro Editor.

However, if you want to use a recorded macro during the current session only, you can record a temporary macro.
