I use the vectored CD templates from Stahls, and have Corel X3. I export into flexi. When using that CD, I would rather just cut in Corel, but I do not know how to do that. I have a Graphtec Robo Pro. Can anyone please tell me the exact steps to cut in Corel, so I don't have to go to flexi? thanks much

I can cut out of x4 on my roland and summa, I believe i downloaded the drivers from their site..installed them and I think In Corel I used the print function. It was a year ago I guess and cant remember the steps..What I do remember is it was a simple proc edure.

No Problem. I think you may need to give your image a hairline though before you "Print"

For cutting in Corel, you need the Cut/Plot driver, along with the Production Manager from Graphtec. See their site for both of these drivers. To cut something, you simply place the shape you want cut onto another layer --- I always split my designs into two layers, "Print" and "Cut" --- the cut layer in my example. If you need print/cut registration marks, it will draw them automatically if you select "registration marks" from the application launcher icon on Corel's toolbar. (should be on the main screen by default, believe X3's looks like a rocket...). Plot the design by selecting "Cut/Plot" also from the App Launcher, and remember to select only the layer with your cuttable objects ("Cut"). Simple as that. Hopefully.

BTW, I've never tried using the print function, perhaps that works just as well. In using Graphtec's drivers above, you don't have to have an outline assigned. It will cut anything with an outline, visible or invisible, thick or thin, filled or unfilled.

Hope that makes some sense!
