View Full Version : Anyone exporting from Corel Draw 10? ShayArnett 10-05-2005, 09:00 PM Anyone exporting from Corel Draw 10? and if so in what format? The only thing I can get to correctly import into sheetcam from corel draw 10 is in .emf format. That might be ok if I could do layers, but I can't with .emf ger21 10-05-2005, 09:14 PM What problems are you having? Try version 11 .dxf ShayArnett 10-05-2005, 09:34 PM When I try a version 11 dxf my each curve has one line missing. Circled in green in the screenshot. ger21 10-05-2005, 09:53 PM I have V11, but if you post the .dxf and .cdr files, I'll take a look tomorrow. ShayArnett 10-06-2005, 08:28 AM Didn't get a chance to export a test last night but I have tried everything I can think of. For example Create 2 circles leave on as the default elipse and convert the other to a curve export both as a ver 11 .dxf the elipse imports with the broken line on the bottom and the curve imports with the broken line on the top like circled in the picture. locost_cam 10-07-2005, 04:56 AM From what I have heard it sounds like Corel 10 and 12 have problems with their export filters. I am working on the emf import to add layers. EMF files don't actually contain layer information but I could use colours instead. ShayArnett 10-07-2005, 10:19 AM great... no chance on me upgrading so i guess i need to look for a different program.... wonder if sodipodi has ver 1 dxf support .... ger21 10-07-2005, 10:41 AM My version 11 works fine. There's one on Ebay for $65 http://cgi.ebay.com/CorelDraw-Graphics-Suite-11-Win-Mac_W0QQitemZ7188071367QQcategoryZ41878QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem There's also a version 11 upgrade, current price about $7 anthony 10-12-2005, 01:58 AM ShayArnett, If youre still having trouble.. try exporting as PLT and then open in sheetcam as PLT of course. its worked better for me than DXF -anthony ShayArnett 10-13-2005, 11:19 PM PLT comes out the same. emf is the only one that will import correctly ... but no layers with emf :( locost_cam 10-14-2005, 05:49 PM The latest release, V2.1.20 can now handle layers in emf files. As emf files can't directly handle layers I have used colours instead. Each colour will be placed on a different layer. ShayArnett 10-16-2005, 12:47 AM working much better now :D circles are a little jaggy still but hopefully with constant velocity machining that won't be a problem... only hurdle left is getting my stinkin machine built :D dkp_design 05-27-2006, 03:52 PM I use Corel 9 and export to PLT with no problem's |
