Harvey:

Select the object, go to edit, clone.

You are right. ALT, e, n works. I was so used to CTRL-n that I was frustrated that it now does nothing. Now I know how to do it in X3.

I also heard somewhere that they were trying to get rid of cloning and using something in symbols instead.

Out of curiosity, I tried the % way...it works for me in X3, unless I'm miss understanding what's trying to be done. I made a circle that was 2", then copy and pasted that a few times. Then I selected them all and changed the % to 150%. All the circles were changed to 3". Is this not what the original question was about?

Mike, I suspect the problem with that is that now all the circles also moved to new positions and would all have to be manually moved to the old positions.

JustUs;

I've added a macro to the CorelDraw Macros section that might do what you are looking for. Let me know if you decide to try it.

See: 6211.1

If you have not used CorelDraw Macros before, look around in that CorelDraw Macro folder for the directions on installing macros.

I think step and repeat, also under the edit menu might be an option. You selct your item resize it or create it new and use the step and repeat for postioning and quantiity.

Thanks for all the replies.

The holes are for LED's placed around a control panel for a train track, so if I select them all at once and increase the % it moves all of the circles from their positions as they are placed in different locations around the track.

I have already finished the job but I will try the Macros first chance I get, it may come in very handy in the future.

Once again thanks for the support.
