You can cut with Corel on the PC-60 and the Camm Pro. Use the search button and enter corel cutting and you will find all kinds of posts regarding the subject.

On my PNC 5000 the pen width (outline) needs to be set at .003" but I know other Rolands need it set at .001".
Try that.. and also on the print driver for the Roland, on the "Cutting" tab make sure you have "Cut by linetype" checked under "what to cut", and then check that the solid line option is checked.

Thanks much. I also found Dave Grundy's long post, which I thought was lost when the PC crashed. Now if only Corel would make a drop shadow and auto-weld and auto-auto reduce...

Bruce...Corel does have an "auto-weld" (select the object click weld and select which object you want the original welded to) and a node "auto reduce" (marquee select all the nodes in an object and slide the slider until you reduce the nodes as much as you want). The drop shadow requires a couple of steps but only takes a few seconds. With Corel the dropshadows can be infinitely customized to what you wish (thickness, offset, direction etc.).

I did say "drop" shadow, but I meant "block." A 1-color extrusion does it, except for all those separate objects. Far as I know, they have to be welded 2 at a time, rather than all at once. O can that be done too? And thanks for that original article on cutting from Corel. I thought I'd lost it in a crash, so I wrote here. Next day I found it (Winold folder), followed directions, and was tickled to see Corel cut vinyl.

first you use contour to add a contour to the letter and then seperate it from the letter, duplicate the contour and move it where you want the shadow. The difference between the two shadows is the first one you use weld to weld the original contour to the duplicate and the second one you use trim and let the original contour trim the second one and then delete the original contour.
These procedures actually take less time to perform than it takes to read this explanation.

Bruce, yeah Corel can weld a bunch of items together at once. It can even weld text without breaking it apart or converting to curves first.
All you do is select all the objects you want to weld together, click on Weld, then click on any of the selected objects again and Corel welds them.
If you want to weld text, select the text, click Weld, then click the text again and Corel automatically converts it to curves, breaks it apart, then welds it back together all in one step.
