Cutlines in Corel X3

[rosary0215]

We just got new computers in our shop. The transition has been fairly smooth until this morning. The cutlines in corel are not working. We have gone in and tried to create a whole new cutline pallet (using cutcontour) but it is not recognizing it as a cutline when we send it to Versaworks for our Roland. Does anyone have any suggestions or had this problem before? I would be most grateful, thanks!

when we upgraded to corel x3, we noticed the cutcontour was case specific, we are not using versaworks, but for our systems and in corel we had to change it from cutcontour to CutContour, weird but solved our problem

I appreciate your quick response, but we have it capitalized CutContour. It's still not working. We have it labeled CutContour1, CutContour2, etc. CutContour isn't working just like I have it typed either.

Just to be sure, you have it defined as a Spot Color with a Hairline width, correct?

Didn't work

Still not Working. We just got new computers and installed all the programs we had be for. Everything work great on our old systems but we are having trouble with Cutlines for X3 Corel. We have tried everything we know to. Please help if you can.

Thank

Creating a Cutting Path with CorelDRAW 11/12/X3
The following tech note will walk you through creating a cutting path to use with VersaWorks from CorelDRAW 11/12/X3.
1. Register the spot color in the palette editor.
From the [Tools] menu, choose [Palette Editor].
Display the [Select Color] window.
Create a new spot color.
Change the name of the selected Custom Spot Color to [CutContour].

Select the spot color you created.

Change the name of the color to "CutContour."

Click [OK].
The settings are saved.
Be sure to type in the name using single-byte characters, and make the "C" upper
case.
Failing to specify the name precisely will make recognition by VersaWorks impossible.
2. Create a Cutting Path, then apply the spot color to the path.
Create a path you want to cut.
Display the [Outline Pen] Dialog.
Display the [Select Color] window.
Apply the spot color to the path.
Save the file.
