 Common Scenarios

When You Need to Unlock GMS Files

CAD teams often encounter locked GMS files that need updating or debugging.

Developer

Designer Left Studio

The designer who created your CorelDRAW macros has left the studio. You own the GMS files but can't modify the code to fix bugs or add features.

Upgrade

CorelDRAW Version Upgrade

Upgrading to a new CorelDRAW version requires updating VBA code for compatibility. Locked GMS files prevent necessary modifications.

Debug

Macro Errors

Your CorelDRAW macros are throwing errors but you can't step through the code to debug because the VBA project is password protected.

Workflow

Workflow Changes

Your print production workflow has changed and existing macros need updating. Color profiles, imposition settings or export presets have been revised.

Forgotten

Forgotten Password

You created the GMS password years ago and no longer remember it. The macros work fine but you can't access the source code anymore.

Audit

Code Review

IT security or management needs to review VBA code before deploying macros company-wide. Password protection blocks the audit process.
