Debra Payne 0 Posted September 12, 2010 Needless to say I am new to Corel Draw X4 and am having a big problem. Once I design what I want to cut, I convert it to bitmap and then trace it with the detailed logo. Then I save it as an .svg file. When I try to import it into cutting software there is nothing there. It says there is nothing in the file. On some of them it works with the graphic but the text I add is gone or it is not cutting the centers out of like the b's. I need these pretty quick and am so confused. I have ordered the tutorial videos but do not have time to wait on these I am working on. Can anybody help me through this?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rrc1962 0 Posted September 12, 2010 Doesn't your cutting software need a vector file? Why are you designing a vector image in corel then converting it to raster, just to trace it back to a vector? Why not just save as EPS and import that to the cutting software...or just import the corel file into the cutting software if it accepts it? You didn't say what you were using for cutting software.

CRD 9 Posted September 12, 2010 Sorry to say, If your work depends on knowledge you do not have take care of it first. Do not press yourselve or others as this will not work in the end. Like said Corel is a vector design program. As with every design program first learn how it works. What you do is the designing backwards. First start with a basic letter and see if this works. google for youtube video and tutorials of coreldraw X4 and use them to enhance your skills first.

knucklehead 530 Posted September 13, 2010 And don't forget to convert your fonts to curves, before exporting to the cutter. Most important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Debra Payne 0 Posted September 17, 2010 Knucklehead, THANK YOU SO MUCH! That is what I was missing. Okay, now I did that and when I take it SB, it looks great on the first page but when I click on Cut, the text is gone. Where did it go and how do I fix it??? Please help!

edge 67 Posted September 18, 2010 Is your page size in Corel the same or smaller to the page size you have established in SB? Do you have the same issue, if you export/import the file as an EPS rather than SVG? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
