One of my dealers asked for some help on this order that they where trying to get. It is creating a ruler. I have been asked about this a couple of times so let us make the file up and show you how to do it.
When customers give us text files it is not always in the best format. But the good thing is anytime we get the text we do not have to spell check which cuts down on errors. So I will always gladly take text. In this case I had a customer that got a work file from their customer. They did not know how to get it into CorelDraw so I did this lesson to show them how. There might be a better way and it was not as fast as if the text was formatted properly to be used in the print merge wizard but doing it this way meant that I did not have to spell check.
One of the new features to come out of Corel X4 and X5 is the ability to see what direction your machine will be moving based on the object. Typically when it comes to engraving whether it is with a laser or with a rotary our direction was controlled via two main nodes on the object you are working with. The home node is where you object begins to engrave. The end node is where the engraving ends. In earlier versions of Coreldraw X3 and before the way we had ot check for the beginning of an object was to select the shape tool click on the object and press the HOME key. This would take us to the beginning. The END key on your keyboard would take you to the end. Now with X4 and X5 we actually see the direction of the path by a set of arrows.
