Hi Justin
When you say nothing happens do you mean when you open CM3 there is nothing showing if so can I ask what you are sending across is it artwork or just lettering

I select the send cut lines, it used to then open up CM3 and insert the cut file in there automatically. I can get around it by exporting as a .dxf file but it's proving a pain.

Tried reinstalling both CM3 & CDraw but alas it still doesn't work :-(

Hi Justin,
I have had similar problems. as I don't know what your trying to cut and probably stating the obvious have you tried converting to curves I don't know much with regards to Corel but anytime I have had this problem that's been one of the things I have done and resent to CM3 and then its worked.

I can see how that may affect it, think I did try convert to curves but will check again :-)

I've emailed Graphtec support as well.

hi Justin .
The other thing I have done is try grouping the object some times that can effect it as well

Nothing working, not 100% sure X8 is supported though looking on their website. Still have X4 installed, this gives error message "Could not connect to CorelDraw" At least it's doing something...or trying!

Hi Justin,
I had installed x8 about 6 weeks ago and phoned and talked to someone at Corel the number supplied for U.K customer support transfers you to someone in the states which is a joke I was trying to buy a copy of x7 which they said they could not supply and to try Amazon and that was because I had phoned Graphtec U.K who as always were very helpful but informed me at that time that x8 did not support the ce6000 and they were awaiting updates from Corel for new driver software but they said then that they were expecting them along shortly but as said that was a while ago now.
Sammy.

i know this is about the graphtec cutter, ive just bought a 2nd user ce6000-60 and not yet installed any software (hope to be able to play at the weekend) i already have the cameo which does work in corel x8 using the silhouette connect plug in but its not 100% as you have to close and restart each time you want to cut a new design, where as in x7, a new tab opens for each cutting file.

Hi Justin, I had this issue after the last CM3 update. I reverted back to the previous one & it's been fine since.

I've had this same problem with CM3 and discovered that making sure CM3 (or any parts of it) are NOT running when you send the job.

Although you can view the design in wire-frame in Coreldraw, are you certain the the properties of the outline object are set to hairline? I'm sure we've experienced similar issues.

Email the design to me and I'll check it cuts on our CE5000.

CD8 isn't supported it appears but 4 should be, will revisit this again soon.

We're using CD6 without any issues.
