Hi Everyone ! Hope you all are ok !

Is is possible to calculate cutting time before the job ?

I need to know 2 parametres for that:

-Total line length for complex drawings. Is it possible to see this in corel ?
-Speed by givin %. Like if my Epilog cuts .... mm length in %100 speed so that will cut .... mm in %6 speed.

Attached you can find an expample drawing for finding its total length.

Thank you

I posted a CorelDraw macro in this thread

that will calculate the length of the selected curves (must be ungrouped). The length, as reported by the macro is 106.7 inches.

Well...longer to be honest.

106.7 " = 2,71 meters

But i'm sure its right, i tested it with a square.
