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.
for several plotters you don't need more than CorelDRAW. I use for example a Graphtec plotter and I sent directly to the plotter, as any printer. The object must be vector, with black hairline outline, and without fill. That's all. Of course, you must install the drivers, and you will have all the options available. Is more easy, fast and flexible than other programs such as FlexiSign
Me too. I cut right from Draw using your parameters. Also, if I may add, objects must be clean, i.e. no crossing lines and no pieces of clipart made up of NUMEROUS objects. That kinda stuff drives my Roland nuts and usually results in messed up vinyl wherever the knife cuts more than once. - Scotty
I cut directly from Corel using an ancient version of DrawMate.
Just click the little icon.................send to cutter.
Done. Simple. Easy cheesy.
Downside is that it ONLY works with Corel 7...........so, in essence, I actually have to save the X3/X4 back down to ver.7 for it to work.
When my XP computer bites the dust, I'm going to get crazy.
I'm not a fan of 'cutter' software. Sorry, guys, but Co-Cut drives me up the wall.
I don't want bells & whistles.
A simple "send to cutter" icon is just my cup of tea.
