    I have a drawing in Corel Draw and

    Hi,
    I have vector artwork in Corel Draw X4 and need to bring it into MCam 9 as vector artwork.
    When I export it out of Corel and into MCam as either a DWG or a DXF file it turns it into all splines and I can make a tool path out of it.

    Does anyone here know how to make this happen?

    TIA,
    Brian

    If you could post a copy of the Corel (CDR) file, I'll take a look at it to see if it's anything easy to fix.

    not sure about 9 but x5 has a c-hook that is rast to vector to bring in images. I have used it several time on x5 but never used it in 9 so not sure if its there or not

    I'm trying to upload the file but it won't let me

    I'm trying to upload the file but it won't let me, it keeps saying "Invalid File "

    All the file consists of is 2 rectangles and some text.

    I should be able to export it an then import it as vector artwork.

    I got it!!

    Everything has to be converted to curves with no fill at all..

    I exported it as a dxf in Autocad 2000 format.

    All seems to work ok.....
