Here's my issue. I have 3 PC's, all running Corel Draw X4 and Roland's VersaWorks. 2 PC's are brand new and came with Windows 7. 1 PC had Vista and I upgraded to Win7. Now for the tricky part. Out of the blue, on 2 of my PC's, my cut contour lines show in CDraw but when I export and go to RIP with Roland's VersaWorks there are no dancing ant paths!
Even when I grab my old files that used to work fine...I pull them up to RIP and no ants. My Cut Contour is still the same color...I did not change it.
My newest PC (PC #3) is creating the dancing ants for new files I create on it...but it doesn't recognize them if the file was produced on one of the other PC's. I've been looking for answers for days and cannot find anyone that has had such a problem. My shop will be open again on Monday after Turkey Day so I'm hoping for some suggestions before then.
Thanks!!

I export using EPS...then go get the EPS file when I RIP. What's wierd is that it just started happening overnight. Cut Contour has been working correctly for 6 months and then wham. I'll try your suggestions...thanks a bunch!!!
Jeff...now that I read your reply again...when you say ensure all elements are CMYK...I use Pantone colors and Roland's Spot Colors. I'm assuming that I can still do that?

Versaworks has had an issue with a recent update which actually caused our RIP to crash, they have recently issued an even newer update that resolved that issue. You may want to see if the RIP was updated but not to the latest version.
Edit your CutContour color and make sure that it's a Spot Color, not a CMYK color
