    General Laser Question , multiple talks job run

    Hi l am a newbie to the laser world having owned one for just over 4 weeks. I am trying to figure out how I can, engrave at different power, speed and finally cut a material design in a single run?

    By this I mean using corel draw to setup the sequence of activities and executing as one job.

    Example:
    1. Engrave a star at 20% power , speed 100 mm/s
    2. Engrave a star at 50% power, speed 150 mm/s
    3. Engrave a star at 75% power, speed 200 mm/s
    4. Finally cut out rectangle, power 30%, speed 10 mm/s

    I could be wrong but my research indicates that I cant do the above in one run! I have to manually do each step.

    Can someone help clarify this please?

    You have to use colors and set each one to what power you want and scan or cut

    You just have to assign a color to each thing and adjust your settings to do what you want.

    I have figurer out how to run two tasks, engrave and cut, but how do you set the power for each task from the software? My laser machine has a digital display that I have to adjust for the power in %.
