Coreldraw 2017

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys/Gals

After a long hiatus I am back to cutting some vinyl. Recently purchased CorelDraw 2017 and .... you guessed it I am having some issues. If i design in software and send to plotter (Graphtec CE6000-60) it will cut with no issues. But if I import in this case a photo logo (bitmap) and do a quicktrace then send to plotter nothing happens.  Any idea? please chime in, thanks

You would have to post the after autotrace results and the cutfile to get concrete answers, (it might be the same file.)  I can open a cdr, but others might want the cut file as an eps, pdf or svg if they want to have a look.

 Off the top of my head, I wonder if you are not deleting the bitmap after tracing and it is included in your cutfile.  I also wondering how many colors are involved.  For NOTHING to happen, it would seem there would have to be no vector components at all in the file.  Nothing there to cut.  But it might be something else confusing the cutting software.  What cutting software are you using?  Is it true cutting software or some faux print driver?

Thanks for the response dcbevins

There are definitely cut lines in the file as I have tried with success if I use the same file imported into Graphtec Studio and cut from there. The cut program I was trying to use is the print to cutter work around in Corel Draw.  As there is no cut master that will work yet for 2017.
