Missing elements - transferring from CorelDraw to RD Works

[Rick Dalton]

I installed a Ruida 6445G control to my DIY Laser. I have been using this laser for years with a Linux CNC controller with my own gcode for cutting only that I mainly generate from Fusion 360. I also have a 24"x18" 60W Epilog laser, and I use CorelDraw 2018 for that one. My plan is to use CorelDaw to generate the graphics and then transfer to RDWorks via the macro. I'm fairly certain that I have everything set up correctly... I have gotten a few files to transfer to RDWorks correctly and the preview looks right, although I haven't actually burned anything with the laser.

The issue that I am having is that one particular file is only transferring part of what should be. Any help would be very much appreciated.

What it should be

Trees - CorelDraw.png

What is coming over

Trees - RDWorks.png

Actual files:

Trees.rld

Trees.cdr

I do not have corel 2018
But I downloaded the file and used an on line converter to convert the file to a PNG from two different companies - the results were the same
and looked your screen shot of the RDWORKS import.

I would say some thing is not quite right with the CDR file - try exporting the file from corel to a PNG format and see what you get - if it looks correct then open the PNG in corel and use the macro to import into RDWORKS

Hi Pete,

Your suggestion worked. I converted to png within CorelDraw, imported that png onto a new page, and then transferred that file to RDWorks via the macro.

Thanks!

Cool - glad it worked out
