Differences between the CorelDRAW 10 and the CorelDRAW 11 object models

Some names and parameters were revised when the object model was updated from CorelDRAW 10 to CorelDRAW 11. In order to ensure that a macro written for CorelDRAW 10 will work as designed in CorelDRAW 11, you might need to change the name of the class, method, or property, or change parameters for macros. The following list of classes identifies changes which might require that you update a macro.

The following classes have been renamed:

· Class Points - renamed to the SnapPointsIDH_SnapPoints>Main class

· Class Printers - renamed to the SystemPrintersIDH_SystemPrinters>Main class

· Class ShapePoint - renamed to the SnapPointIDH_SnapPoint>Main class

The following properties and methods have been renamed:

Class Application

· Function CreateShapePoint - renamed to the CreateSnapPointIDH_Application_CreateSnapPoint>Main method

Class EffectBlend
