Tools > Geometrical Information is either greyed out or doesn't open the window

Cause

Geometrical Information uses Microsoft's Visual Basic. The VBA/MS Office and Windows updates might break the connection between Corel Designer and VBA.

  2. Move the bar down to the bottom (Never notify)
  3. Restart the system and login into the same administrator account.

Reinstall Visual Basic included in the CorelDRAW Technical Suite installation.

  1. Go to Apps & Features > Click CorelDRAW Technical Suite > Uninstall.


     
  2. Choose Modify and proceed by clicking the Next button.


     
  3. Check out Visual Basic for Applications and proceed by clicking the Next button again.
