    Hi guys, I’m new to the forum so please bear with me on this one. I have recently purchased a Craft Robo Master and I am trying to cut out things like small logos without success. I am wondering if anyone with any experience of this can help. I have followed the instructions to the letter from the manual firstly using CorelDraw and then saving as the DXF file and then loading into the Robo Master software. Once I load it in to the software I have a tiny image in the left hand corner. I am then supposed to resize it to the size I want by stretching it across the screen. Problem is I can never get the complete image to stretch and end up missing bits and then lose the image I want to cut out. Please can anyone help because this is now driving me insane. Thanks in anticipation.

    You will find it easier to cut direct from Corel instead of exporting as a dfx file.

    When you import the image into the Robomaster software, take the selection tool (arrow) and click drag from the top left of the image to the bottom right of the image. This should select everything, then you can simply group all the items together and resize it.

    Alternatively you can cut directly from corel by selecting the Craft Robo as your printer.
