Repetitive Action Keys

[Citywolf]

Many times I have to apply the same attributes, or size changes to an object, usually photos. While Paste Attributes helps, it does not go far enough. I would like to see a macro feature of sorts that would execute a series of keystrokes to set attributes on objects.

Thanks.

Like CorelDRAW's Ctrl R?

I cannot tell you how many times I have begged and pleaded for this feature.

If it was easy to program in, I have a feeling it would have been done long ago.

[Citywolf]

Precisely. It is easy, but only if the programmer thinks in those terms. Most do not. Speed is mostly a function of automating the same action, not executing a string of different actions. At least, that is my experience on the the projects I have had to accomplish. Let's hope.

I agree, and add my vote. A Macro function would be really very welcome.

A+

I have not had a need for a Macro or Scripting language to date; however, it would be pleasant to have it available if I do find a need in the future.

My use of Xara includes the mundane and commercial. Rarely the creative and elaborate, although I much prefer it. A macro would expedite the process.
