Corel Draw Macro not loading at startup

[CarlK713 (carl)]

Hello all…
I am new to LightBurn and using a trial version as a possible replacement for RDWorks.

I installed the trial and it’s working fine, I’m liking some of the features, BUT, I followed the instructions under the help tab options and installed the CorelDraw Macro. It seems to work fine until I close everything and restart corel and light burn.

The icon still appears in corel but does not do anything. I have to reinstall the macro to get it to work so it seems not to 'LOAD" the macro when I restart corel. It works fine until I close corel.

What am I doing wrong?

Corel draw macro question

I have successfully integrated Corel Draw (2018) and Lightburn but I have a problem that if I close Corel Draw and re-open it the icon is there for Lightburn but the Macro seems to be gone. If I open the macro editor and try to click on it the link is dead. In that state, when I open the Macro Manager the Export to Lightburn Macro is not in the list. I can load and the macro and it shows up and the icon works again. Is there a way to make that stick? Thank you

I need to change the instructions to include this.

Thanks for the reply Oz
So if I’m understanding correctly, there is a solution for this, correct?
Is there an approximate timeline on a solution?
Thanks CarlK

The solution is in that thread, here:

I can confirm that that placing it in the global GMS folder fixes the issue. I was having the same problem and this works. If you are having trouble finding the folder it should be like this: C:\Program Files\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2018\Draw\GMS

You just move the gms file into the global one for Corel, and then reference the copy you made instead of the one in the LightBurn folder when you set up the macro.

Thank you!!! All set and seems to work fine.
