    Problem cutting a round circle

    Problem i think is with coreldraw?
    if ai draw a round circle and export it as a plt file
    and import it into the great lasercut 2.0
    it will cut the circle like it has edges.
    wierd thing is if i use vector files i allready purchased they seem to be fine.
    i hope i posted this in the right section...

    Smile Curve Resolution

    Sandor,
    After saving as a plt file another window will appear. Go to the 3rd tab Advanced. Save curve resolution as .001. Should be fine. Jim

    Yes, plt circles and curves sent from corel leave that segments. try autocad.
    other way in corel when you save the file in advanced you can change the length of the segments
