high resolution in a Roland CX24 with CorelDraw 10 1

[realorlando]

I have a Roland camm-1 cx24 and I work with coreldraw 10 and when I cut straight lines it works well but when I make curved lines these leave bad, I mean, the curve is not perfect; for example, a circumference seems a polygon with many corners. but this problem is visible with detail when I make figures of four inches or smaller. I already revised the plotter but this works well in a friend's computer which uses flexisign pro. I have installed Windows XP. Do you believe that I need a plugin for corel? and if this exists, which do you recommend me and where can I find it? Do you know what I have to do? Do you think that I need no more CorelDraw? thank you for your help

I believe Roland cutters come with a windows driver for cutting from programmes such as Corel and if this is not in the box then it may well be downladable from the Roland web site. There are also many utility type programmes available such as Sign tools3/CoCut and even cut down versions of sign programmes ie Signlab/Easysign/Flexisign, these utility programmes usually offer you more functions suited to signmaking than Draw but obviously cost more.

I used to own a Meistergram engraver. There was a serious issue with the number of nodes. In my case they would woften be treated as a "pen up" routine, which would leave a noticeable "wiggle" in anything (curve or line).

I did find that nodes on curves even if not resulting in a pen up, could still leave unusal squiggles in the final engraved appearnace. Be sure that you reduce the number of nodes as much as possible, and use the curve tool appropriately. At the time there were software pluggins and standalone programs that would auto reduce the umber of nodes for this very reason. I don't want to swear that this is your problem, but it is worht experimenting with.
