Newlydraw versus Corel

[Phil Garcia]

I have been reading about Newlydraw which is used with the Chinese laser's. I currently use Corel X3. Is Newlydraw that much better than Corel to take the time to learn the program??? What's the opinion out there??

[Joe Pelonio]

Newlydraw better than Corel?

Almost everyone I have ever heard of that used Newlydraw has eventually used Corel to create files, then export as .ai to it, because it was so difficult to figure out with the typical translation problems from Chinese, and the lack of advanced features.

Thanks Joe, I would rather spend my time figuring out how to connect my laser to my home defense system than a new graphics program..LOL:D

NewlyDraw is used mainly because it's the only thing that will work with the majority of the smaller laser systems, not because it is better than Corel (comparison-wise, not only are they not in the same city or state, they're not in the same universe!). Most of the off-the-shelf Chinese engravers do not have the intelligence to handle a Corel file, requiring NewlyDraw to practically spoonfeed it movement commands.

The name itself, is probably the result of a Poor Engrish translation :rolleyes:
