What are Macros, and how can they help with repetitive engraving jobs?

If you are extremely computer savvy, you could go and create your own Macros. Macros are little sub-programs that operate inside programs such as CorelDRAW. They can be used for a multitude of applications such as cropping photos, rotating graphics, and merging text. Essentially, any step that you consistently repeat, you can create a Macro for.

If you are like me and appreciate the time savings a small little program can create, then look at providers who sell these pre-made Macros. A simple search on the internet with terms like “CorelDRAW macros” will provide you numerous options for pre-made Macros.

Before you go ahead and purchase a Macro, you need to ensure that it works with your version of CorelDRAW and your operating system. Many of the Macros will not work on older versions.
