What is eCut for CorelDRAW?

This remarkable plugin for CorelDRAW allows many advanced utilities for computer designers who work with Vinyl, CNC machines, or laser cutters.

eCut for CorelDRAW has more than 40 different functions which include invaluable aids with the design of outdoor signs, light boxes, neon and LED signs.

New coding with this new version has made the user interface more user friendly.

Performance of some of the most used functions has been enhanced.

eCut for CorelDRAW - Is a separate DLL, and you can launch only using macros. That is why VBA is necessary to use plugin.

Main areas of application.

Below I will describe the main uses of the program, and what features you should pay attention to each case. eCut for CorelDRAW is powerful tool, and of course, you must be able to use it, because sometimes people do not realize how useful functions can be! Their indirect use can also open up new possibilities of the program!

eCut for CorelDRAW application.

Listed below are some of the powerful uses of the program, and what features that you can avail of in this very powerful program. eCut is a very powerful tool with many inbuilt features. Only by exploring the features and options will you get an appreciation of the functions available and how they can assist you in your productivity. You might be surprised with your experimenting how valuable some of these functions are and possibly open up new avenues with your business.

eCut for CorelDRAW functions

Nesting

Plotter/cutter

Measure

CNC

Advanced

Useful

*CAD functions contains many other features to work with nodes/paths.

Milling and laser cutting. Work with CNC machines.

Of course, the most important function are and perimeter calculation. And, oddly enough, is the construction of a composite boxes, combining some of the most common methods of milling.
In addition to nesting, I would like to draw your attention to a clever division.
It is also very interesting feature - delete duplicated edges. It allows to process files for the rectangular cutting.
If you own a machine with native software, which eats only DXF format, you"ll need DXF export feature.
Some time ago new useful feature was added: nodes extensio. This feature makes first node of each path invisible after cutting.
Also for foam cutters will be very useful "hotwire cutting" function.
And most new - route optimization.

Plotter cutting.

With more than 10 years of experience in outdoor advertising, and the same directly to the plotter, I want to note the following - eCut for CorelDRAW irreplaceable!
Nesting, Cut/Plot, perimeter calculation, cost calculation, time calculation, weeding lines, route optimization - these features I would include in MustHave category.
Intersections and dupliacates searching - these features will simply need to work with the artworks prepared by emerging designers.
Separate shape, simplify curve ,remove duplicated edges - just useful features that automate and optimize the performance of the plotter and operator.
Set of effects - especially suitable for the preparation of some effects for vinyl cutting.

Large letters and light boxes.

First of all it is LEDs and Neon. These functions will be invaluable assistance in the design and calculation of illuminated signs. I note only one point - functions are advisory in nature, that is, nothing replaces experience of human, but to estimate the estimated cost of the work they will help 100%.
Edge roll - very powerful tool for the construction of the side walls of channel letters.
To create applications for the light boxes, I would like to pay attention to the Effects - trim. This function enables you to create a layout for cutting the lightbox with the overlap of colors (to avoid white light where two colors joined).
For thous who like to cut plywood will be useful this functions: finger joint box and finger joint shape.

CAD functions and design.

To design and build all sorts of schemes, eCut for CorelDRAW has several useful functions: draft, set of CAD features (mirror, isometric, curve and nodes editors and etc), align, DXF export.

All functions:

Nesting	One of the main functions of ecut. It alows you nest objects in few seconds for CNC or plotter cutter.
Cut/Plot + contour cutting	Perfect tool for plotter output. It can print files on system driver and on COM port (using eCom). Many built-in algorithms makes plotted curves looks perfect and weeding process be faster.
Perimeter	Very popular tool to measure perimeter of selected objects. Also allow to calculate price depending on shape size.
Area	Calculate area of selected objects without overlaps, but if curves are not perfect, then use BMP area as result.
Cost	Very useful function to calculate job cost. Allow calculate perimeter or area of selected objects.
Time	Unique function! It calculates time that plotter will spend to plot selected shapes. Best choice to optimize your work time.
Weeding lines	Very powerful function to create weeding lines. It has few methods and helps designer save a lot of time.
Multiply	Use this feature to make copies of selected objects. Also you can fill specified area with selected object.
Rectangle nesting	Rectangle nesting function allows you to nest any type of shapes as rectangles.
LEDs	Very powerful function will help user to create beautiful LED signs. Contour and fill methods are great, built-in catalog editor will help user to create own LEDs catalogs. And do not forget, that user can use shape from document as single LED.
Neon	This function was made to help light-signs designers. It helps designer to create great neon sign. Many tools for edit neon tubes will make this process more easy.
Draft	Use this function to create draft from selected shapes. User can use standard scales and paste common sizes.
Central line	Create center line of object using CorelDRAW algorithm or build in eCut magnificent algorithm.
Smart divide	Best choice if you want to break word to letters or break complex curve to simple shapes. Very useful when processing files for CNC machines or cutters.
Connect opened paths	This feature will be very useful after importing CAD files. Try it and all curves with opened paths will be connected to single curve.
Fillet	Great function for CNC machine users - it allow you to round corners according to selected method.
Find intersections	Function to find intersected objects, use it to fix bad artworks.
Find duplicates	This function allow user to find similar objects which lies on each other.
Search shapes	Very powerful search function.
Create SignBox	Use this function to quickly create boxes from composite material. Best choice for light box and facade
Create lines	Quick and simple method to create straight lines.
Create grid	Quick method to create simple grid. All you need is specify cell width, height, row and column count.
Create cropmarks	Very useful function, that creates simple cropmarks for print output. Useful for print and cut jobs.
Reduce nodes	This function use built in CorelDRAW ability to simplify selected curves. If shape is too noise - optimize it using this function.
Effects	8 great effects will help designer to save time. And result of all this effects will be ready to cut on plotter or CNC machine.
Edge roll	This function creates edge roll. Also marks control points, right and left turns.
Contour cutting file	Useful function to create files for printing and cutting.
Separate curve	Use this function to divide large objects into little blocks.
Remove duplicated edges	Great function that removes only duplicated edges. Useful for CNC machines, Removes only straight lines!
Slice object	Function for cuttnig shapes with overlaps
Eyelets	Eyelets maker.
Create carrier (boundbox)	This function to creates bound box for each selected shapes with specified gap.
Align and Distribute	This function has many features of aligning and distributing objects.
Set size	This function set size of all selected objects as user specified in parameters - maximum or minimum.
CAD functions	CAD function collection.
DXF Export	DXF export function for exporting shapes to ACAD format using ARCS and POLYLINES
Replace	Function for swap all selected shapes with Master-Shape.
Reference scale	This feature was created for 3D puzzles designers. It can help to recalculate one material width to another.
Create bridges	This feature was created for 3D puzzles designers.It can create little bridges for laser cutting.
Variable	Function for multiplying objects with replacing text and shapes from database.
Hotwire cutting	Function for preparing path for hotwire cutting machines. Very useful for foam cutters.
Route optimizer	Little function for tool path optimization. Used "greedy" algorithm - not best, but using built-in tools can help you to find many ways of application.
Finger joint box	Little function for creating simple box for laser cutting.
Finger joint shape	Function to create face and edge for laser machines to cut plywood.
Volume calculator	Simple function to calculate volume and mass of item shape made from sheet materials
Door panels	Little function to create door panels (facades)
