Flatten a cone

[Peter Clifton]

Hi all

Attached is a recently written script that allows you to feed in the dimensions of a Cone or Frustum (truncated cone) and have CorelDRAW produce a 2D plane view of the shape which you can cut out and reassemble.

If you only want a cone, just leave the top radius field set to zero.

The script is currently set to work with CorelDRAW 9, but will work in Draw 7 (tested) and should work in Draw 8 and 10 if you set the number in line 95 starting WITHOBJECT to match your major draw version.

Place the script and BMP file in ...\DRAW\SCRIPTS\SCRIPTS and execute from the script docker/rollup.
