BearlyRich 167 Posted October 20, 2011 There is no "cut/plot" in any version of Corel Draw. If you're talking about using one of the plug-ins like Signcut or Cocut... Then, I don't think the trial version comes with the VBA that those need... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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
