    Hi all, I am only a novice and a distressed young lady in need of help.
    We have signblazer elements software we us on a creative plotter all very basic but i work at a centre for adults with learning disabilities and its ok for what we need, trouble is we have a corel draw on the laptop but cant work out how to import designs into signblazer or export from corel to signblazer or how to send straight from corel to the plotter any ideas please we are by no way experts so the more information the better! Can i get a video tutorial from anywhere?

    Thanks in advance Lucy (30 and single again)

    I would try exporting from Corel as AI (Illustrator) choose text as curves, deselect the other options ie simulate complex fills and also choose a fairly low version of AI – say V4). Try importing that into Signblazer, I am assuming that your Signblazer version can import files.

    Follow Phill’s advice and visit the Signblazer forum.
    I had real trouble importing/pasting Corel files into Signblazer. The two are not very compatible.
    You have to make sure you have everything converted to curves and no fill effects anywhere….

    Don’t know anything about cutting directly from Corel though….
