Craft Robo Problems

[mrs maggot]

kaz, talk me through taking a corel file and putting it into robo please - before this goes outh through the window. also where do you alter the settings, at the moment it wants to cut everything in the middle of a sheet, i want to be able to cut more than one thing on an A4 sheet otherwise its going to be so expensive this weekend we might as well not go

Sorry, I don't use a Robo, I meant with my cutter

i don't have corel on this machine, but I can go boot up the other one and take a look, if you want?

I don't cut from coreldraw, or use a craft robo, but i've heard you have to put an outline around anything to be cut in coreldraw - don't know if this applies to the craft robo.

Cheers John

Oh god, my heads mushed today.

I export from corel draw to signcut, which I then cut with, sorry

Try downloading and installing the Cutting Master Software from this link.

When I use Corel Draw for cutting I click on the little rocket launcher at the top and it shows the Robo. I think Martin mentioned before about the Illustrator plug in which ( I'm not 100% sure on this ) is the above software. It should actually be on your Craft Robo disk.

Yes you can cut directly from Corel Draw if you install the plugin. Can't remember where I got it from as it's been years since using craft robo sorry. I have the Graphtec ce5000 60 and cut directly through Corel Draw with that too. Sorry I've not been much help other than letting you know you definately can cut direct. As accdave has said you will know if you have the plugin installed as you get the little rocket icon.........Just had a look at Corel....I think the little rocket is always there as it's the application launcher but when the plugin is installed it gives you the choice to cut/plot in the drop down list.

Last edit lol : I think this is the one you need when following accdave's link.....
For Windows: Cutting Master 2 ROBO version 1.61 (68MB)
Choose this file if you are working on a Windows Platform. Compatible with Adobe Illustrator 8 through CS4 and for CorelDraw 10-X4. Quit Adobe Illustrator© and CorelDraw© Before Installing.

the plugin was with the software, or else corel has now picked it up - anyway we are now cutting from corel on it, which is pleasing

thanks for all your help guys and girls and saving me from more ebay fees
