Key lines around bitmaps in draw8? 1

[juniper]

Is there a way to add keylines to bitmaps images in draw 8 in the same way you can eith in Word or Pagemaker. At the moment, I'm just drawing a box and then magnifying to make sure it matches with the photo - very time consuming.

I thought I heard somewhere about a plug-in or a script etc.

This is something I would REALLY love a solution to. Any ideas, please let me know.

cheers,

andrew

Found one here:

The one called Oberon Enframer is the one you want but you get a load of other scripts in the same package (all free).
I tested the one for Ver 9 and it worked fine.
The installation instructions are a bit complicated so make sure you get the correct set for Ver 8 and read all the instructions.
If you have installed any of the service packs for Draw 8 you need to downloaded separately an update version of the Enframer script.
This script will draw a simple keyline round a bitmap (or anything else) and is highly customisable so you can add multiple lines around a bitmap or even fancy frames automatically to the correct size! Joe Bananas
