    Hi Help !!

    We started out at the budget end of the market and are slowing working our way up !!

    I have just got CorelDRAW X4 – with the view to converting logos we are given to vectors and cutting..

    I am ok with tracing the bitmaps and exportig as .EPS and .AI files but when i try and open them in WINPCLETTER 😳 to cut on my Redsail Plotter 😳 nothing happens.

    A pal of mine says i need to put a cut line round the logo but we both dont know how !!

    Any help greatly appreciated..

    Also i am not a fan of Win pc Sign – what does everyone else use ?

    I would try exporting as AI and using a fairly low version. Click on text to curves and off everything else ie ‘simulate complex curves/fills etc.
    X4 does a pretty good job of expoting and you can always check by importing back into Draw.

    Thanks Alan,

    Just playing and in fact it wont import anything !!

    I am beggining to wonder if its not me after all, when i click to import the screen just flashes and i end up with a blank screen again….

    Is there an cut software i can download from anywhere to try ?

    I have tried Signcut and the logos work but can’t get my cutter to work with it !!
