Find Replace Object - Change Multiple Objects Help?

[Tracey Bakewell]

There has got to be a better way! I am using my laser for cutting a rhinestone transfer template. I finally got all my settings figured out (which I will post later) but have now realized my circles are too big. I have not been able to figure out how to make the replace objects work. I need to change the size of each circle from 2.565mm to 2.1mm. Each circle is a red hairline curve. I so far, with my mouse, have to click on each circle, then click in the width box and type 2.1, hit enter, click on circle, and size, back and forth. If I select all things I want to change, then typing in the width box change EVERYTHING selected to that one size, not what I want, I need each object to apply that size without doing each and every one. This has to be possible! What am I missing? Using Corel x4.

By the way, my settings for doing "sticky flock" are:
power: 10
speed: 6
ppi: 1000
dpi: max

Comes out great!

Thanks Everyone!!!

Google is your best friend sometimes.

Yes! Totally forgot to try that, just came here first! So, Ctrl+R was at least a step in the right direction. I changed one circle, then selected the next, and did Ctrl+R, that worked, less mousing around. Then the article suggests selecting all circles and doing Ctrl+R that DID NOT WORK, it would have been easier. So, the next part of the article suggests using a macro, which I'm downloading and trying now! Will post how well it works!

Tracey.......try changing them using a two step process.....first change the horizontal value, then CTRL-R.......then change the vertical value, then CTRL-R........it works for me.

Also.....what is sticky flock?

Lastly, what material are you cutting the templates out of and how/what do you attach them to? Someone else suggested stencil material with an adhesive backing.....but I think it needs to be an exact thickness.

Steve:
Steve Good published a video on how to flock a wood box just this last week. Check it out here http: //scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/02/flocking-small-box.html . Its a material you can use to make the inside of your projects plush.

Larry.....thanks....I did see that video.......but Tracey posted "settings" for doing "sticky flock".....so that's why I assumed it didn't have anything to do with "flocking" the inside of a box........

OK! I finally got things figured out, using this link:

There was a great instructional video on how to install and use macros. Then! I used the copy circles macro mentioned in this thread:

And got all my circles changed for my rhinestone template.

Stickyflock is a product used in stead of plastic for creating rhinestone templates. Its' more fabric like, but still firm like plastic. So, when you're working with all the sticky tapes and the stones, things just flow a lot nicer. It's hard to explain, but I buy it from here:
http://www.divinebling.com/ that may help explain what it is.

OK! Tonight, when I get home, I will finally be able to run this darn template! YAY!

Thanks everyone!
Sincerely,
Tracey
