Not to hi-jack the thread, but I have one question about your workflow: is there a particular advantage to using EPS (vs DXF) as the transfer format between Corel and Cut2D?

[msimpson99]

I have many problems exporting DXF from many apps and importing them into other apps. Corel is no exception. One example of a DXF problem is that the circles are exported as polygons not true circles. I have also had scale problems when exporting DXF from corel. EPS has worked for me every time I get perfect objects.

Even exporting from corel to autocad I dont use DXF. I use DWG.

You can check out the Momus plans. Even if you don't build the machine there's great info from machine design to wiring and Mach3 setup, and cutting that first piece.

Good to know. I'd noticed the circle/polygon effect but it seemed to depend on which DXF version you specified on export. (FWIW I'm using Corel X4.)

Thanks.
