Corel Draw x3

[Harry Cleary]

That’s all that installs Lucy…other discs are resources..clip art…fonts etc.
Love x3…has done everything I asked it to and I know there is a lot more I haven’t discovered yet.

Look on the CD for something called Setup or Install instead… might be something to do with multiple drives in ur system

O.K. thanks guys, now how do i link the program to the Graphtec cutter and how do i send the designs??? Pain aren’t I but signblazer was so easy! Big night night kiss for all your help so far..

[Jill Marie Welsh]

The graphtec link I posted on your other thread has the drivers for cutting master, which will make Corel and your plotter able to work together.
I can do it anyone can.
Love….Jill

Sorry about this, i used signblazer and have all my work saved using this software it won’t transfer but i can redo it in a couple of hours..Thing is when i do design in Corel how do i send it to cutter? Signblazer is so easy once you have finished top toolbar has short cut CUT which then opens page as it will look on machine how it is positioned once you are happy top tool bar again CUT TILE then enter jobs done…Anyone have a video link i can watch? Am i as thick as the offspring of the village idiot and the channel 5 weather girl or what..Not very good with computers but can make a nice cup of tea and a smashing apple crumble.

:lol1: i love it when a lady talks apple crumble :lol1:

What you got to remember is Sign Blazer is a software designed for signs/t-shirt industry that is bundled with the cutter, it normally has all the cutting controls within it.

Corel Draw is actually a design software, it is used in many industries and therefore is not associated with any cutters or kit. However in your graphtec cD collection you should have a disk called Cutting Master II, this installs a quick launch button on corel (click the rocket)

Cutting Master is the way to cut from Corel but it does have its own quirks and unless on a powerful machine can be a bit slow. Does your signblazer software import AI or EPS if so export from Draw and import into Signblazer. When you export click the text to curves button in the export dialog box and if using AI use a low version and ensure ‘simulate complex curves’ is ticked off.

Lucy,
All the info you need are from the details Gill referred to on your other post.

As said by others you will need to download and install Cutting Master 2.
The lastest version is here,

http://www.graphtecamerica.com/support/

Chose Craft ROBO Pro / CE5000-40 and Cutting Master 2 v 1.80 will come up for download.

This is the plugin for Coreldraw that will allow it to cut directly from it to your plotter.

Lucy,
If you have Corel X3 you might have problems trying to get it to run on Windows 7 but maybe someone else can confirm this.
I run X4 on XP pro with cutting master 2 ver 1.60
