Newbie question.
I’ve never tried engraving and cutting in one pass…until tonight. It seems like something is off in the CorelDRAW12 software with the plugin. For whatever reason, what I see on the screen doesn’t come out in the K40. You can see it in the two pictures. The text is in different locations.
Can anyone explain what is happening?
These are on two separate layers. If memory serves, you need to put a very small “.” in the upper left corner of each layer registered to each other. This locks each layer on the same spot. Otherwise, laserdraw will move the layers to the left and mess up the registration.
I think your right. Last night I came across a website basically explaining the same technique used to keep the registration correct for the different layers.
I’m thinking about dumping the LaserDraw and going with K40 Whisperer. It seems much easier to use and less likely to give me headaches in the future.
There is K40 Whisperer, LaserWeb, and a new one to be released in January called LightBurn. Anything is better than the stock controller board and the included Laserdraw as it is too limiting.
LaserWeb does not support the onstock, K40 Whisperer is good and you should use Inkscape to create svg files. Take a look to the k40 whisperer totorials on youtube.
