Loading in CorelDraw2019

[Oliver-GIT]

Dear Mr. Bender,

unfortunately i was unable to load the plugin in CorelDraw2019. The docker window is empty. I followed the installation as instructed.
Is there a common fix for that?

Best regards,
Oliver

Either the plugin does not load because you have a different CorelDraw version. Then maybe try to use an older release. Or sometimes Windows blocks the DLL, then try the following:

Installation:

• Extract zip into C:\Program Files\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8\Programs64\Addons to install the addon.
• Right-click and open "Properties" for each DLL file in the folder. If you see the following text, you have to unblock the file:
  "Security: This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer."
• Activate docker window "Latex" in the menu "Windows".

Thank you for the quick response. I did unblock the dlls and tried release 1.0 aswell. Still the docker window is empty. Do you have any other idea what i could try to fix it?

Probably it does not load the DLL since it was build for a different CorelDraw version. Unfortunately, I don't have CorelDraw2019. So if you have Visual Studio you can compile it on your own. Another solution would be my old script. Not so fancy but does the same job:

This is based on Visual Basic and can be directly executed.
