I need help with actually cutting my image created in Corel Draw but then imported to Great Cut2. Wish there was a step by step. Once I learn it, I'm definitely going to write it down in step by step and send it back out there because this is hard being a beginner like myself!
Here are my steps as of now and PLEASE if I have done, skipped, included something I should not have, switched them around, missed a step all together or completely put a step in that just mind boggles you, shout it out. I need all the help I can get!
1.Create image in CorelDraw
2.Save as jpeg
3.Import to Great Cut2
4.Contour
5.Set Jog Marks

Now am I done? How do I get to it actually cutting on my Expert 24 LX?

On my cutter I pressed Test Cut and it cut a little box with a X in it.. or so it looks like on my vinyl. But nothing came with the cutter in the box. No manual. No instructions.. So I'm trying to learn from just testing it out and it's difficult! Can someone step in and save me?!

With no manual then YouTube is your friend.

I'm assuming you are cutting a fairly straight forward graphic and not something like a JPG photo or image. Something along the lines of:

Layout the design in Corel
Select the text portion, right click on it and "Convert to curves"
Select the entire design, press CTRL-C to copy
Open Great Cut, create a new blank page
Press CTRL-V to paste the design
Resize as/if needed
Click "File" - "Output" and go from there.

Why are you saving as a jpeg?.....

I use Illustrator so I might be off a bit, but there should be a menu item installed in Corel that send the design into and opens Great Cut.....Great Cut is re-branded version of Co-Cut so something in the Co-Cut manual might be useful...

There is a shortcut but you have to install it, it's not automatic. Or at least it wasn't on my install.
