CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Export To PLT Border

we use CorelDraw for all our design and day-to-day artwork requirements, and for preparing artwork for our laser engraving machinery.  We have recently upgraded to X6 and have found problems exporting to .plt.

First we noticed that a page border surrounding artwork, where we use the page border for positioning, and the art to engrave, the page border would export, but anything inside it would not. So we tried all the obvious workarounds - grouping etc, but found that the only way to get it all across was to combine the artwork.

Now we are noting that anywhere there is artwork surrounded by a closed curve - eg  a rectangular block with a phone number reversed out - the art that is surrounded (eg the phone number) will not export if un-grouped or grouped, it has to be combined into one object.
