Software questions for "NewlyDraw"

Most of the Chinese systems do come with a Corel driver, some brands only have it on the mid to high end and others have it across the board.

The cheaper engraving systems usually come with dedicated software.

I have the same machine and had the same problem when I was trying to run the engraver through a usb to parallel cable. When I connected it using the serial cable provided it worked fine.

So i guess it means your pc is not communicating with the machine. Have you tried a different parallel cable? Or a different machine?

NewlyDraw with my rabbit 3040 can 'scan' (which is like a printer) and can cut vector lines too using 'cut'. Though I would far from recommend buying NewlyDraw its still pretty painful to use.

When I import files from autocad in to newly draw does anyone know if i can change intervidual lines on the autocad work so I can e.g cut some and scan others.

What i am trying to do at the moment it make things out of cardboard. So would like some lines to be engraved (so i can bend them along the engraved line) and then cut round the outside of card board net. To do this at the moment I make two files in autocad and import them seperately and hope I get them in the right place. Does anyone have a better method or can give me some pointers on how use the layers in newly draw?

Magritte, it depends on how the artwork is created but yes it is possible to select some elements to be raster (scan) and others for vector (cut).

When you import the file, everything is grouped. Click on 'split' and it will ungroup all the elements so you can select them individually.

You can also use the layers in Newlydraw to make everything align correctly, this is useful if you want to use different laser power or speed for different elements of the design. If not, when you send the file to the laser it moves the origin and the elements don't align.

Newlyseal is designed for making rubber stamps and does not have all the features of Newlydraw. It may be capable of some basic cutting but you really need to obtain Newlydraw.

I believe the dongle "key" is different so you probably need to arrange an exchange with the vendor.

Hello, where I can get newlydraw? the vendor don't answer me. I don't find newlydraw vendor.

[zax15uk]

Newlydraw is produced by 0123, the same company as Newlyseal but the problem is each dongle and version is specific to the driver card.

I suggest contacting the manufacturer of your unit, which I believe might be Qingdao Digital?

If you don't have any success there are 2 options. Purchase a new driver card and software from another vendor (Rabbit, WK or Artsign for example) or convert to a generic driver board and use Mach3 or something similar to drive it (would be my choice).

I'm looking for a new driver board and software for my HX40A laser.
Is it possible to engrave and cut with mach3? of is there better software for engraving?

I've found these boards: http://www.routoutcnc.com/lpkits.html they seem like a good deal.

With kind regards
