Right now I've been using coreldraw to design and moshidraw 6.1 (came with the laser) to raster engrave. I'd like to do some leather cutting (it was advertised for garment making usage) but I'm at a loss as to how to make it do vector cutting. Any help would be much appreciated as tech support is so useless as to be non-existant.

Several months ago, I tried out one of the Chinese laser systems for cutting works done via Autocad. Had to have the Autocad software loaded up, then went to Print/plot to cut the work. If you do not have Autocad loaded up, then it ignors the file types.

My big complaint was the kerf width. For thick materials it was really wide. Was told to simply Offset the line work a certain amount. That sort of doubles the work here then.

Try saving the project as a .plt in Corel Draw.
