Robert H. Bigart 64 Posted March 21, 2012 How to cut direct from Illustrator & COREL Hi Guys First of all you must get a NULL MODEM CABLE to go from computer to (plotter) cutter. Make sure it’s a NULL MODEM CABLE and not just a PRINTER CABLE. Null Modem serial cables allows two DTE or DCE devices to communicate with no conflict in data transmission Then convert your line weight to the thinnest (the one with 2 ARROWS). Set all lines at Wire frame. Export as a .DXF file. Send your .DXF file to your Printer. Set your printer preference to your plotter cutter at PRINT. REMEMBER YOU MUST CUT FROM A .DXF file. This works for me and I hope it works for you. Thank You, Bob Bigart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tshirtn00b 12 Posted March 21, 2012 I have been using Sign Cut Pro (http://www.signcutpro.com/) for a few years now and love it. There is an illustrator plugin that can be installed. I am using an LP48 cutter, USB connection and Adobe CS5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
