    Help vectorizing layered text in Corel

    Try this, Just line up the blocks. 6822.eps
  2. I've been using Corel draw for years. (since Version 2) I would like to learn and start using Adobe Illustrator as well. I've never even tried AI. I would like to know what version to get. I know nothing about Adobe Illustrator. I plan to keep using my Corel Draw but the more I know the better I can be. I would be using it on a Windows 7 computer if that matters. Thanks for any help, Fran

  7. Hi All, 12 years ago I started making signs, banners and decals with a SummaCut D500 as a side job. Life and my real job got busy and my Summa plotter sat in the shed for the past 10 years. I looked into getting the Summa running again but lack of an RS232 port, software and drivers made a new plotter look like the easy way to get started again. I ordered a USCutter SC 25" plotter. After one week with the SC 25 I ran out of ear plugs and ordered a Geaphtec CE5000-60 and gave the SC cutter to my son. The CE5000-60 showed up today and within 2 hours was cutting one of my files. Getting the Cutting Master 2 to work took the longest. Once I read to change the plotter setting from HG-PL to GP-PL Cutting Master 2 started working great from Corel Draw X5. The CE500-60 is very quiet. No ear plugs needed. I can even hear the TV while its cutting. I'm very happy with my Graphtec CE500-60 and USCutter gave a lot of extras with it. I'm very happy with this cutter and hope to keep it cutting for years to come. Fran
  8. No dongle when using Cutting Master 2. I use it with Corel Draw X5 and it works great. Go to the Graphtec web site and download the newest version.

  25. What does LXi and FlexiSign do that Corel Draw cant? Forgive me if this is a stupid question but I've never used LXi or FlexiSign. When I was making signs and banners 12 years ago I used Corel Draw 7 and CASmate Cut.
