I bought this tonight the new one 2017
Anyone give me a run down on proceedure to the fiber from an AI file and why you want to use it I so far feel it was a waste of money unless I am missing a bitmap convertor or a special function it gives you .

Thanks

Export to a DXF file an older version as EZCad does not support the newer releases or for engraving sometimes a BMP file. Yes an older version of CD would have worked just fine. I use X6, once again a Search on here would bring this up.

Export as an ai file, version 8 works fine. I’ve never had a problem with ai files and ezcad.

I have read a lot on here, seems there is some cleanup things corel can do but I cannot find them in the menus anyone know where to find them or access them??

If you want to work in Corel Draw, and since you have it, you should, the best thing you can do is go do a search on youtube for Doug Green. He has a long list of short (most 1-3 minutes long) videos dealing with Corel Draw and mainly CO2 Epilog lasers. 95% is transferable to Any CO2 laser as most deal with things that we do with images/text that will transfer to the fiber laser also. A few are Epilog specific, but you can tell quick. Go spend a day watching a bunch of them, searching for anything specific you need.

Others out there, but in my opinion, he's the best.

Ditto its got a pretty steep learning curve especially if you have never worked with a graphics program before.
