Laserworks V8 and Coreldraw x8

[Jared nemec]

Im am trying to get the laserworks macros on to coreldraw x8 and it keeps saying "Can't find installation of Coraldraw!". Anyone that can help me out that would be appreciated.

Isn't Laserworks the typical software that ships with a Chinese machine? I doubt seriously if it will work with X8 or any of the modern updates to the purchased Corel Draw package.

Jared, did you get Laserworks V8 working with CorelDraw x8?

Corel 8 wont work with Macros that worked on Corel X7 and earlier. Same with plugins and I believe VBScripts. That means laserworks and RDworks plugins wont work on Corel X8.
And neither will any of the macros you made in earlier versions of Corel.

However, you should be able to export a file in Corel X8 to a format that LAserworks and RDWorks can accept and import. DXF for example. It is just the plugins that wont function till their software catches up with Corel X8.

David, thank for the detailed response! I bought a used laptop with Win7. Coreldraw X7 was part of my laser purchase. Looks like I'll be good to go!

Happy to help Steven! That info on the macros and scripts is available in the Corel support site if you dig. Obviously not a "feature" they are touting just yet.
