Hi,

i noticed little problem when exporting drawing from corel to lasercad with plugin..

I have 2 layers. 1. is bitmap for engraving, 2. is curve for cutting.

if I export it, there is nothing in lasercad. Just layers. But no image, or curves. See attachment.

if I export bitmap first without curves, i can see it in lasercad.

I had noticed that as well but it seems to be OK now using Corel X7 and LaserCAD 7.78

I just tested a Corel layout with a jpg, a text, and a text converted to curves and all three items transfered to LaserCAD 7.78 OK

So I updated to latest version, but no luck with this problem...

But I realized problem is when you have Guidelines in your Corel file.
When you use lasercad plugin on vector with guidelines, no data is imported to lasercad.
You have to remove all guidelines.

Maybe in next version they can fix this by ignoring guidelines :-)

NICE FIND! I had occasions where grapics would not transfer but I don't use gude lines much so today I tried it, I added a .jpg and a Vector to a layout and sent it to Laser CAD, worked just fine, then I added guide lines to each and sent it again and low and behold.... Nothing transfered at all! :eek:
