Corel to PlasmaCam

Post by LNWelding »

I have decided to go with Corel Draw for my program to create projects to cut with my PlasmaCam. I can save in dxf format but cannot open in PlasmaCam... any suggestions would help! Thanks. Samantha

Samantha,

When you save the dxf, try saving it as version R10 or earlier.

Here's a link to an earlier thread on the topic.

You might also want to check out DXFTool. It's a dxf-exporting utility at http://www.CorelDrawTools.com
(it solves some of Corel's "issues")

Good Luck,
Clark

Samantha,
I have the same format as you, Corel and Plasmacam. First, save your drawing from Corel as a dxf file. When you are in Plasmacam selct "import" then select your dxf file. This will get your file into Plasmacam and then you have to save it as a PCM file.
Hope this works for you! If you have any troubles PM me.

-Joey
