Am I the only one who doesn't know what this is for? Does this involve some external macro utility?

**MarkMyWords** · 14 August 2007, 12:43 PM

Well it's starts by checking if Xara is open so, I'm thinking it's an independent macro profram.

What use to write this Huorn and what software is it meant to run?

**huorn** · 14 August 2007, 12:51 PM

sorry, here is program www.autohotkey.com

**cbutton69** · 14 August 2007, 03:55 PM

Huorn,
I've used AutoHotKey for a long time, but I've never written any scripts.

I want to try your script, so I'll copy it to NotePad and save it as an AHK file. Then should I execute it to make it available?

**cbutton69** · 14 August 2007, 05:03 PM

Okay, Huorn. I tried it, and the first problem was that it complained about Line 1 (object alignment). So I commented out all the stuff down to the
;=============================================
;ALIGN
;=============================================
lines. Then I executed it, brought up XaraXtreme, added some shapes, and tried NumPadLeft (with NumLock Off and with NumLock On). Nothing happened.

What am I doing wrong?

copy all to default script file (AutoHotkey.ini), after clik on "reload this script" in AutoHotkey tray icon
