LaserUser.com Forum (formerly RDWorksLab)

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 What is coming over Actual files:

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
