Data
from CorelDRAW via EPS/AI.
Work specification for the export of vector data from CorelDRAW, import
into CAD, cutter offset calculation and export
of the milling data to the machine.
 |
CorelDRAW
export setting.
The data must be exported from CorelDRAW
using the following settings:
| - Export filter EPS
Adobe Illustrator AI. |
| - Contours without
filling (also not white). |
| - Outline as
hairline (thinnest line). |
| - Text as curves
(vectorised). |
Import
of the EPS/AI data.
For the import of the EPS/AI data select File . Import . EPS *.EPS/AI. |
 |
Limits.
Using
Layout . Limits . Graphics max. set the limits automatically to the
extent
of the import data.
Join tracks.
For
the graphic used in the example it can be assumed that all contours
are closed. Nevertheless,
the function Join tracks can be
carried out for assurance. |
 |
Mark.
Intersections.
Precisely for data from CorelDRAW it is important that the graphic
is checked for crossovers. For this select Mark.
Intersections. The program shows a crossover between
R and A. If the paths are to be corrected at the same time then the
error must be edited out. Alternatively,
for a recessed engraving the
letters can be calculated individually. |
 |
MillCorr2D.
As a result of the reported error the navigator must, with End,
leave the Navigator and the calculation started individually. First,
the area 'Data from CorelDraw' is marked and
MillCorr2D selected.
In the second calculation step the symbol 'AW!' is selected and
calculated.
The outer edge of the label can be
processed in a third step using a cylindrical cutter. |
 |
The
complete milling data. |
 |
Direct
mill.
For the export of the milling data select Direct mill. In the layer
selection the Layer #0 (with graphic data) is switched to white (inactive)
by clicking-on.
In
the export filter selection select, for example, DIN/ISO
and the dialect (FILTER:) WinPC-NC / PC-NC. Note:
For PC-NC the core image format for arcs
(ABSOLUTE/relative) must be set the same in both programs (under
Parameter).
The start position for X and Y can be
switched off with -9999.99. In this case the working
off begins with
the 1st work position. |
In
the case presented, first the engraving and thereafter the cutting-out is
worked off. The program contains a tool exchange. If your machine
possesses no possibility for a tool exchange, then both milling layers #8
and #9 must be exported individually.
Finished!
