Illustrator :: How To Add The Cutter Option
Oct 24, 2013
I have a Graphtec cutter CE5000-60 and it was connected to my old computer via USB and my old version of illustrator CS3 had the option (in the 'file' drop down menu) to cut out a vector illustration direct. I now have a new computer and have just finished installing all I need including the driver for my cutter. When I go into the new iullustrator (trial version of creative cloud)... there is not a 'cutting' option. I can see the cutter in the printing list... but this is not how it was set up originally.. it had an option apart that was not in the printing dialogue window.

I'm wondering if I get hold on of say an image of a car, could I have this converted to black and white and then delete parts of it so that it can be cut out on a vinyl cutter?
When converting it, I would like most of the image deleted but to keep the rough outlines and some shading etc so the image looks great and can be cut out on a cutter.

The company I work for bought a new vinyl cutter out of the blue without consulting us (the IT Department), and now I'm fumbling about trying to figure out how to use it properly. The cutter requires the use of Adobe Illustrator, so I downloaded the trial before shelling out money from our budget. Now, we used to use this absolutely unimaginably broken piece of software called SignGo, which allowed the creation of 3d shadows rather easily, actually. All our buses have our company name with a 3d shadow behind them, and the owner does not want to change how this looks:

It's damn close to what I want, but as you can see, there are little extra cuts that the vinyl cutter will make, ruining the shadow. Is there any way I can either force AI to not draw those points which should be masked, or to edit the shadow manually?

I cannot stand it when I make a new layer in Illustrator and the color hint becomes yellow. This usually happens on the third new layer into every project. I can go in and manually change it from yellow to the ten plus other colors, but I just want yellow completely out of the list. It's awful to look at, and I think every other color is easier.

Every time I send text to my vinyl cutter from CD it puts vertical lines thru some of the letters and cut them out... letters such as : D, O, Q, G, S and others. I have tried different fonts but they are all the same.
It seems as though I have a button pressed or something turned on but cannot figure what is wrong.

I need to cut out letters from plastic on a laser cutter. I use "no fill" and a hairline outline and it works fine. But occasionally I want to change a font to be "thicker" or have a thicker line but still maintain the hairline outline for cutting. I can get thicker lines on screen by using the contour tool but how to remove the fill and keep the hairline outline. To complicate matters, I need these letters to be joined together, so I also need to use the weld tool.

I know this isnt really a CAD question but I bought a hp designjet 510 about 6 months ago. It was working great and cutting everything. Then I had a paper jamb and ever since then it doesn't cut every time. Sometimes it cuts four pages in row and then sometimes it will group 2 together.

I know there are several high priced software solutions out there for the cutter. Is there a third party software that can take what is on the CorelDRAW Screen and sent it to the cutter with one click of the button. Something that does not open another program or that I have to import the design to. I want to simply click a button and start cutting.
what software you are using, How much you paid for it and what you like most about it. I am looking to increase production in the shop and if the design is all ready to cut, IE no overlapping lines, sized properly, etc. then why can we just send it to the cutters. Right no I have FlexiSign and hate the time it takes to Export, Import, Fix, then send to cut. The transition from a CorelDRAW file to that program drives me nuts and I just cant find a good filter to use that does not make me fix something that is just fine in CorelDRAW.

Having trouble with the cookie cutter tool. I duplicate my image, select the cookie cutter tool, draw the shape onto my image and click the green check box. That layer then goes transparent with the white and grey checkerboard pattern. I've reset the tool a number of times and doesn't change anything.

Why my Ioline cutter keeps leaving these little 'tags' on my lettering? It almost as if it doesn't finish the cut through or something. Can it be fixed? Its not because the blade needs changing, because it does this even after Ive just changed the blade.

New to Corel Draw. We just purchased a laser cutter to cut our stencils (we airbrush), but having a VERY hard time figuring out how to prep the vector images. We follow instructions, but it seems to always have a problem. We usually separate layers on photoshop and then trace on Corel so it can be a vector, but it doesn't seem to be working. What is the easiest, most simple way to turn an image into a vector so we can send it to the laser software??? Only doing black and white, one layer at a time.
Just need simple instructions, and most seem to be WAY too complicated or always have some complication. I have watched videos and read instructions, got close, but no cigar. Sometimes I think I have a vector, but when I send it to the laser software it doesn't detect it. I need simple instructions, Simple simple!
Can I make an image a vector without tracing it? Does it have to be a bitmap to be a vector? I can't turn images into curves because the option is gray (not available). If I select hairline it puts a hairline border around the image and I don't want it cut!

when i cut vectors letters and numbers, its cuts but at every character it does not seem to completely fill the edges. so i always have to use my small nt cutter to do that.
i read the manuals, changed the offset, reduced the cut speed, increased the pressure and even convert to curves before i cut but the problem does not go away. the company where i bought it from is not very useful.
maybe because the machine is chinese i have a creation pcut ct630 vinyl cutter.also in coreldraw, i always use "harline" when cutitng anything is it correct?

While tracing a tree image using splines for a school project i have run into some problems...I am creating a pattern for a plasma cutter.
When i move the points of my spline sometimes it causes the whole spline to randomly move around and twist and turn where there are no points. Also sometimes when i open the drawing some of the spline lines are out of place while the spline points have not moved.I have tried to constrain all the points but it turned into a mess.How can i stop this from happening?

I need to create the effect a cutter cutting through and removing material from an aluminum block. Similar to this below video...
I thought of using an animated displacement map, but that won't produce clean enough edges for close-up shots.

I'd like to convert a file from RGB to CMYK. Normally, I can go into Assign Profile, and just select CMYK. However, in this case (actually hundreds of files), none of them have CMYK as an option. So, all the files remain in Untagged RGB, when I need them to be CMYK US Web Coated SWOP.

When I use 'kAISaveDocumentAsAction' to play action event, the pdf option dialog shows up, as in the following piece of code:

result = sAIActionManager->AIActionSetInteger( valueParameterBlock, kAISaveDocumentAsGetParamsKey, 1);
//play event
result = sAIActionManager->PlayActionEvent( kAISaveDocumentAsAction, kDialogOff, valueParameterBlock);

I'm having an odd issue in Adobe Illustrator. When I create a shape and go to rotate it by selecting the object and hovering near a corner, I'm expecting my selection tool to change to the arc with arrows indicating that I can rotate the object. This isn't happening, the arc is not appearing and my selection tool is turning into an anchor point selection tool.

Why is there no composite grayscale printing option in Illustrator? I see it in Acrobat and Indesign. There are times we need to print grayscale composites to check layout and content.
Besides converting all colors to grayscale, I see no way to simply print grayscale out of Illustrator. Am I missing something?
