Briiliant, thanks Rene. I shall give that a go and let you know if I have success.
And also thank you for your responses Carl. As I said, the cutter came from ebay and came with little instruction for the Cutok software.
Is there a way of getting an outline of an image without having to trace it as some of mine are quite tricky?
Well, try this: Assuming your work is expanded (if not, select all and expand it, then merge it with the pathfinder tool, under the "windows" menu.)
Make a square with fill and outline on. Give it a color so that you can see it. Arrange and send it to back.
Select all.
In the pathfinder click divide.
then ungroup, while all is selected.
then select on an empty space so that nothing is selected.
then start selecting every object that pertains to the image and delete them. (save a previous version of your image.)
You'll be left with the square and the outline within that square.
Select it (the square) and turn fill and outline 'off'. You won't see anything until you select all (ctl - a)
With the square selected right click and choose 'release compound path'.
select the outer outline of the square and delete it.
You should now be left with only the outline of your image.
To open it with corel from there, save as eps.
Mess with that.
