Can A Fill Be Made Cuttable?
Ive got a graphic in Corel X3 that I have filled with circles (dont ask), is there any easy way to make these circles cuttable as my cutter doesnt see them.

do the circles have hairline outlines Paul? SHould cut if they have or maybe i am not understanding you.

No Harry, ive basically just filled the shape I need (a rectangle) with circles using the fill tool on Corel so they have no outlines. Im just wondering if there is a way to get them with outlines other than me having to do each circle individually.

Have you tried ‘select all’ and then outline?

You’ve completed what we used to call a postscript fill I think, the only way to cut these is to draw them/duplicate and then use your pathfinder tool to merge the lines so the cutter will cut them properly, apologies for the ‘Illustrator’ terminology but the same principle.

Sorted it now by converting to Bitmap then tracing it. Not sure if this is the right way but its done the trick.

If postscript fill – print to ‘device independent postscript file’ This creates a postscript file, file extension is .ps and can be printed to any folder you choose. Import this ps file using eps filter (ps filter in X4) using editable filter if offered.
Editable curves will now be displayed, please note any outlines may need changing to object and welding, depending on number of objects it maybe worth doing these in bits rather a complete unit as welding very large number of objects may choke the system.
