hi..need help for my cut and print project, anyone here who knows how to make a cutting line in an image for cut and print in silhouute cameo
tnx in advance
I only know what I've read on a quilting forum. [:)]
You can use exported raster graphics from CorelDRAW (e.g. PNG, JPG, TIF)...then you use the Silhouette Studio to trace for cut lines.
If you want to use vector graphics directly from CorelDRAW you will need an additional plug-in software called "Silhouette Connect" (this is in addition to the standard Studio software)

See the support link and FAQ's on their site for more info.

You can try creating a vector object using an outline colour spot colour named CutContour and send it to the cutter to see if it cuts.
To make the spot colour available in CorelDraw:
You should now see a palette with four colours. The magenta at the top is CutContour. and can be applied to the outline of any vector object.
The CutContour name is supported by many cutters but I've no idea whether yours will do so. It is also important that you do not convert it to RGB or CMYK either before or during output.
There is a program that's not free but it'll cut out of CorelDRAW called CoCut. Other software like SignLab has plugins that work in Corel. I have Direct Cut That installs as a printer. Some cutters come with a program that will cut from Corel or Adobe. From years of use Signlab does have the best drivers for the Allen I'm using. Almost all the programs have a Free trial down load that you can try to see how it works for you.
