How to copy and paste properties between objects - quickly and handy

The alternative way to exchange properties between objects using native CorelDRAW tools like Eyedropper Tool and Paintbucket Tool with selected "Object Attributes" instead of  "Sample Color". This tools are not convenient to work with multiple shapes at once, so work with them is very slow.

My recommendation is to use VBA macros to copy and paste properties like width, height, rotation, positonX, positonY, fills, or even effects. This may be done separate for each or for all of properties. You may exchange properties for many shapes at once. Moreover you may copy and paste properties automatically for tons of instances of propertiary named shapes at multiple pages, with one command!

I prepared example videos about using this macros at this blog:
