Question about Computer Cut

I have the newest version of Computer Cut (3.0, I believe) and it tells me that I can use Corel Draw to upload an image and import it to Computer Cut, but when I click on the file to import I keep getting an error message. Could someone take me through a step-by-step of importing a file from Corel?

Particularly, what file format do I have to use to import to Computer Cut?

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I dont know for sure but someone said that any clip art that is in a vector format what that means i dont know i think mushroomhead said that

Good luck

I cnanot rememebr off the top of my head but in the computer cut software program simple go to file then import. They will be listed in the file type drop down menu. I will look tommorow and post what they exactly are.

is this program a clip art disk or is it a plotter driver

It is a plotter driver.

i use corel 10 when i added my plotter i had to install driver. then open corel go to tools options and add it there. i dont have the info with me here at house but i could fax or email it to you in morning if you would like rookies77092@yahoo.com

Our plotter software simply imports files. I am not sure if computer cut will accept corel as an output device. Have you done it with the computer cut plotter?

i have a graptec plotter and i use quick cut . its been awhile sense i installed but when i added it in tool options it put a buttom on the tool bar just like for printer. i just click it and quick cut opens and you chose which color you wont to cut first and so on

also what brand plotter and size

i called computercut about that very thing. I use corel draw 10, and when you save the file, you need to save it as a adobe illustrator file or .ai file version 3.0...if you need help, call me 985-868-9626

Every time I try to import the file, it says that there was an error importing it.

when you go to save in corel draw, on the save file screen, it gives you a choice of file type...you need to save it as a adobe illustrator file. then another screen will pop up and save it as a 3x.

You can't cut a bitmapped file. There are two kinds of files, Raster files and Vector files. All Raster files are bitmapped files and will have extensions like .bmp, .tif, .jpg Vector files are calculus based lines that are cuttable. At some point you must "trace" your file to make it cuttable. When you import the file across to computer cut, make sure the file type is appropriate. In other words, make sure computer cut is looking for the right kind of file so it knows how to recognize it.

I guess I should add that this file type business should be in a drop down box where it can be chosen on the import screen. Maybe there is a triangle arrow indicating more choices than just what is listed.
