registration marks

[cruiserto]

please help! I have had a graphtec robo pro and I have learned many things But what I cant seem to figure out or get an answer to, is registration marks. I am useing corel draw and useing cm2 to print where I can add registration marks, but I cant get it to work What I want to do is have the ability to make a 2 color vinel sign with dots so I can line them up upon application I am pretty sure layers are involved but How do I get the dots?

Actually CM2 dont make dots, is corner marks. Kind like this.

Or the opposite.

No thats not what I was looking for, those marks I believe are for a printer so the cutter will see them. What I am looking for is done strictly with a cutter . What I have seen and want to do, is have the cutter leave a mark typicaly a dot than when another layer is cut in a different color the dots will line up for proper application

put the dots in your design. cut them out. align.

What was said above.
And if it makes it easyer...
Basicly put 4 (or however many you want) squares around your design, then cut the design...and the squares. Cut the squres with each color (so you sould make them a dif color then everyhting else). Now you have your registration marks.

kept poking it

I think everyone has helped me on the correct path.... But tell me if I am wrong, I printed my letters useing print under corel drop down and after going into it their is an option to add reg.marks (target type ) I am pretty sure it is working with cm2 I tried it and it worked, but I havent tried layers yet to get colors
