cutting a hole

Not sure what autoweld is but when you weld two objects together it becomes one.

Say you take a box and overlap it with a circle and hit weld it will become 1 object and cuts the waste around it. Hope that explains it.

 

Autoweld is a combination of two words: 'autow' and 'eld'. Which signify nothing.

The intended purpose of autoweld was/is to weld overlapping objects, like that like of script you forgot to weld together. I believe that the welding takes place in the software, not in the hardware. I could be wrong but I'm not uncertain.

As far as welding the hole in an 'a', was it sent as text or as a vanilla vector object? If the former, then perhaps it's an unintended consequence and autoweld is pretty much useless for anything with text or anything with a hole in it. If the latter, it's completely understandable, stupid but understandable.

 

ALSO...........you are not cutting direct from COREL........your using a BRIDGE PROGRAM called cutting master.
cutting direct from COREL.......means just that.
