    Laser Cut 5.3 and Coreldraw 2017

    Hello! I am trying to us the "print" function in coreldraw 2017 to laser cut 5.3. When I go to print and I have laser cut open, the laser cut window pops up but there is no program in it. I have used laser cut for many years with coreldraw x3 but we have upgraded and it doesn't seem to want to work the same? I have to save as a dxf and import into laser cut. That process works but it takes a bit longer and also the process it takes to download the file takes longer. Any ideas?

    This is exactly why I don't and won't upgrade any software. There may be a fix to make the new Corel work but good luck with that. Only advice I have is go back to what works...

    I use both these programs. I have only ever exported and imported as dxf as the plug in never worked for me in previous versions either. I always covert text to curves first and reduce nodes before exporting, this reduces the download time dramatically on larger drawings.

    Did you ever figure anything out? Your problem is somewhat similar to mine. Except my new system is windows 10 and corel x5. The program says it won't let me install on anything newer then x3. Let me know if you tried anything that worked.

    Like John, I've only ever exported as a DXF and imported into LaserCut 5.3. Not as streamlined but it seems to cut out a lot of issues. Great advice on converting text to curves and reducing nodes too, this process has served me well for 3 years now.

    Good luck!

    The plugin as with the Illustrator and AutoCAD plugin hasn't worked well for years, it's always been a workaround to get it going so I don't tend to bother and just import as the other folks say
    You did what !
