Can Corel files be opened in Engravelab?

[John Pickett]

Can Corel files be opened in Engravelab? Does Engravelab support any other files other than Engravelab files? I would like to open AutoCad and Corel files with Engravelab. Is it possible?

[Larry Bratton]

John:
If not, export the Corel file to AI or DXF (AI is Adobe Illustrator and DXF as well as DWG are autocad files) Just use the File/Export function. Good luck. I'm sure Engravelab can open these vector formats.

I can cut from Corel and paste directly into engrave lab with pretty good results.
I can do the same for Acad into engravelab , but the results are less than satisfactory.
I can open an Acad DWG in Corel and cut and paste THAT into engravelab with better results.

For anyone that has troubles with this, you can open CorelDRAW files in Engravelab.

First, you need to save the Corel file as .cmx, Corel Presentation Exchange.

You can then IMPORT it into EngraveLab.

Be careful though, as I have run into issues with vector lines being messed up after doing this.
