Default Wireframe in corel looks fine but lines in cutstudio

Good afternoon
I just sent an image from Corel to Cutstudio and in Corel I viewed in wireframe and there are no lines in the corners but when I paste it to cutstudio there are overlapping lines in the 4 corners

Any ideas. Hope that made sense.

Thanks
Teresa

Hi Teresa,

Would you mind either posting screen grabs or sending me the files to check out?

If you'd like to send me the files so I can take a look at them for you, you can email me at [email address]

I'm not sure what's happening when you copy and paste it into CutStudio, but there are a couple of things you can do.

First, have you installed the plugin to go from Corel to CutStudio? If you have, you can access it in Corel by going to Tools -> Visual Basic -> Play and then choosing the CutStudio plugin from the dropdown list.

When you do it that way it imports into CutStudio perfectly.

Other than that, you can export your design to an Adobe AI 8 file, and import that into CutStudio, but then you'll lose your no outline, no fill outermost object.

Here's another question: Are you going to be printing this and contour cutting it? If so, you'll need to save this as a jpg from Corel, then import your cut path and the image seperately into CutStudio.

If you're cutting from vinyl, you'll need to seperate your colors, and import those into CutStudio seperately, unless there is a way of seperating colors when you cut, but I haven't found that option yet.

If you have any questions about what I've posted I'll be happy to lend a hand.

Load up your installation CD that came with your plotter, and it will have an option to install the plugin for CorelDRAW.

Once you do that, you'll be able to access CutStudio from Corel.

I did that but then someone said you have to do something else to get it to show up on corel as a buton? At least I think that's what they said.
How do I get the button over into corel??

You CAN make a button for your Macros, which is what that plugin is. Let me find a tutorial for that...

Okay, here it is:

Create a button/hotkey:
a) menu Tools :: Options :: Customization :: Commands :: Macros
b) drag desired macro to a toolbar
c) assign a shortcut key.

You don't NEED to create a button, but it is helpful.
