Imlost21 1 Posted November 13, 2012 just bought this 2nd hand. have a few questions. 1. when I try to install the multilevel option of cutting master computer says will not run in my version of windows. I tried it in my windows 7 laptop and on my vista home premium desktop, same error message. 2. I would appreciate for someone to walk me through printing (mutoh) with registration marks for contour cutting. I am soo lost. 3. I also didnt see an option for the plug in for coral draw on the disc, just illistrator which I dont have. so how do I do the coral plug in. right now I just have a simple round 2" times 50-logo to print and contour cut and he wanted them like last weekend, between the flu and not knowing what I am doing I was unable to deliver. thank ya'll so much.

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted November 13, 2012 go to the Graphtec site and download the most current versions of everything. and youtube.com has a bunch of videos and you must have the full version of Corel or it will not work. It must have Visual Basic to work. So It cannot be a HOME or Education version. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted November 14, 2012 Do you have the COMMAND on the cutter set to GP-GL? You must, if using the Graphtec software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted November 14, 2012 did you download this Cutting Master2? There are a couple to choose from... Download Windows Cutting Master 2 v1.90 (68.3MB) Cutting Master 2 v1.90 plug-in to CorelDraw 10-X6 & Illustrator 10-CS6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imlost21 1 Posted November 14, 2012 yup I downloaded those but do not know how to insert in into coral 5x thank you for your help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imlost21 1 Posted November 14, 2012 I would rather just use the Flexi software that I paid so much more money for than Coral Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imlost21 1 Posted November 14, 2012 but all it does is say it is cutting then does nothing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted November 14, 2012 yup I downloaded those but do not know how to insert in into coral 5x thank you for your help your plug in is in Corel.. Click File,, in Corel. Then you should see Cutting Master2. If your Corel version has Virtual Basic. Then use Flexi. that is what I use. The COMMAND has to be on HP-GL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted November 14, 2012 If using Cutting Master2 are you following the User manual? http://www.graphtecc...l%28v188%29.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have no idea, I don't use Corel. If it is a HOME version or EDUCATION version , you cannot use it. I thought you wanted to use Flexi.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imlost21 1 Posted November 14, 2012 I would rather use flexi. if you use flexi then maybe you can tell me why it will not send to cutter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted November 14, 2012 You don't give enough info to even help you.. What version of Flexi? There are many. What cutter did you use in the set up? Show some screen shots. Without the necessary info, no body can help you. The COMMAND must be on HP-GL to work with FLEXI software,, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imlost21 1 Posted November 14, 2012 I appreciate your help. sooo much. I am so tired of wasting my time trying to figure this out on my own Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted November 14, 2012 No such thing JUST as Flexi 8.. They all say that... It is either 8.1 8.5,,, or 8.6 It shows when it is loading. I don't do printing and contour cutting. Instructions for contour cutting is in the Graphtec user manual. First make sure that you can cut normally with Flexi. Cut some text on scrap. Or a design. Set your cutter up to cut normal vinyl before you do anything. Set your blade and blade offset. You have to start there first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imlost21 1 Posted November 14, 2012 I have 8.6 v2 flexi and I will try something on some scrap vinyl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
