Corel Cut line
Good morning, having a bit of trouble with cut lines. I use a font then change it to convert outline to object and it works, sometimes. Then when i try it with a simple object IE basic logo it really doesn’t like it. Sorry i know this has probably been ask a million times but does anyone have a simple guideline to cutting in guideline. Do i need to covert to curves, do i need to convert outline to object? Cheers f

any help would be great. all looks fine in wire frame but then it disappears in print preview, cutting to a gcc jaguar 4 if that helps

Chris your post has me slightly confused to be honest.
Don’t convert outlines to an object.
The cutter needs details of lines being sent to it.By all means convert text to curves.
Try also setting the the line weight to 0.01 point.
Are you cutting direct from corel using just the jaguar printer driver?

Hi Tim, Sorry im a little confused myself…. i have tried this but still does not show up in print preview, have zoomed in as the line is 0.01. And yes, cutting srtight from corel using jag print driver…..

What do you mean – a basic logo ?

well, there’s a menu in the top left, i set that to coreldraw and now its fixed it, how come it had changed? thanks for your help though. The logo was really only text with a few shapes behind it.
im sure ill be back soon though!! 😳

You need to make sure your plotter page size is set to your page size in Corel.
For example: With 61 cms. wide vinyl I set Corel page at 58 cms. x 200 cms. (or whatever length you want) then set your plotter to exactly the same size.
Everything selected in your Corel page should then cut, but check it out in Print Preview first.Chris A

Make sure your line thickness is set to 0.001mm. I have the Jag III and anything thicker will not be cut.

thanks for the help. i always try keep the page a little smaller than the vinyl. just have to say this site is pretty super. i come from a publishing background so this is all really fun and new to me!
