Cutter/Plotter software

     I know there are several high priced software solutions out there for the cutter. Is there a third party software that can take what is on the CorelDRAW Screen and sent it to the cutter with one click of the button. Something that does not open another program or that I have to import the design to. I want to simply click a button and start cutting.

     Please let me know what software you are using, How much you paid for it and what you like most about it. I am looking to increase production in the shop and if the design is all ready to cut, IE no overlapping lines, sized properly, etc. then why can we just send it to the cutters. Right no I have FlexiSign and hate the time it takes to Export, Import, Fix, then send to cut. The transition from a CorelDRAW file to that program drives me nuts and I just cant find a good filter to use that does not make me fix something that is just fine in CorelDRAW.

Anyone else frustrated? Or is it just hot in here.

  • Depending on what version of Flexi you are using, Flexi can open some
    CDR files and CMX. We had more luck with the CMX files than saving the
    CDR down to version 9 or 10 (I can't remember which version our Flexi
    supports).

    We looked into a few solutions. CoCut is a plug-in style program. It
    adds a cutting icon on your toolbar. You select what you want to cut and
    hit the icon. It brings up a window (actually the cutting program but
    that's splitting hairs) and you set up your cutting options. It's
    basically the same process as printing something. Click the button, set
    up options and hit GO.

    There are a couple of different programs that work the same way but
    CoCut was the only one I personally tried. I'm sure there are a few
    other guys here that will chime in.
