Lrod39 1 Posted May 9, 2015 I am a beginner to the first power! I just purchased Corel DRAW X6 64 bit, a Graphtec CE5000-60 Cutting Plotter, and using it with Cut Master 2. I have been watching video after video and still don't know how to get the cut/plot function working! What am I missing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OWJones 1,981 Posted May 9, 2015 You're going to have to be more specific. You don't know how to cut/plot from within CorelDraw X6?Find the Application Launcher icon on your toolbar in CorelDraw, click the little down arrow and select Cut/Plot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knucklehead 530 Posted May 10, 2015 And, If you are using cutting master, you have to have the language set to GP-GL, or you're not going to get nuthin'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mfatty500 454 Posted October 14, 2015 OW, does your cut/plot window, and sending your design take along time to open CM3? Mine seems to take for ever to open and sometimes it does not show what I want to cut. And yes, I have tries to convert to curves and that stuff. I mainly cut from Flexi, because it opens instantly and cutting in seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OWJones 1,981 Posted October 15, 2015 No, it only takes 7-8 seconds to pop open the first time after a reboot, but then it only takes 2-3 seconds each time after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted October 15, 2015 they are never fast enough but if you throw enough money at them you can make them tolerable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcbevins 340 Posted October 15, 2015 You should be able to just export a file out of Draw and import it into CutMaster in what ever format it requires. This would skip the need for the plug in altogether. Eventually you want the plug in to work. However, for testing, export and import should get you there.

mfatty500 454 Posted October 15, 2015 I usually do that but when I'm doing a test of the design I don't want to go thru all that, if I don't have to. Thanks anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OWJones 1,981 Posted October 19, 2015 Thanks, mine is slow as S**t, any suggestions? My cutting computer is an Intel i3 laptop with 4GB - it's not a super-fast PC by any means. Maybe you need to defrag your hard drive, or upgrade to a faster drive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfatty500 454 Posted October 19, 2015 I have done all that, I'm getting a new computer soon, so I'll see what happens then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
