Help with NEWLYDRAW

[J514]

Hi All,
I have finally figured out how to get a WMF to cut by putting it in Corel and exporting it as a DXF file and importing it into newlydraw, the problem I have is when I export the corel file I make all the lines from hairline to none and when its in newlydraw the laser still goes over the cut line twice and not once like I want, can anyone help me fix this?????
Im cutting fine .5mm hips and two passes is too much.
Cheers and thanks all.

Hi
Check the fill is zero and not white
Also check the shapes haven't got any other filters or effects on them, or any blends etc, even if they are not visible.

As geekinesis recommended there is probably a fill or other effect causing the dxf to have double paths, but in Newlydraw just select the outline and hit delete. If there is a double you'll still see the outline, if not, undo the deletion and repeat on the next shape. You may have to ungroup first.

Zax.

hi, actually, looking closer at the wmf file, its a problem with the way wmf represents lines. If the line is bold it actually draws two lines close to each other with a thin fill between. so this is what was making the double cut.

I guess it depends which programme was used for drawing the artwork before exporting it as wmf

Thanks guys I'll see what I can do the guy uses a program called Serif DrawPlus to draw his objects, does anyone know this program and if he could export a more user friendly file from it?
cheers Justin
