Cutting Master 4 question about recognition marks

[jimmmi]

Hello, i am trying to figure out the correct way of creating recognition marks in Corel.
Lets say we have 5 items. If i try to create marks to only the selected item, it creates to all items like beeing one big item. Although i have selected only one. There is no selected only check. The only way to add marks to only one item, is to separate all items in different layers, and hide the 2-3-4-5 to create only to layer 1. Then hide 1-3-4-5 to create to layer 2 and so on. If i want to create to all 5 i have to do all this five times. Am i doing something wrong? Its so time wasting

You should be able to make your own macro to do this like I did. Not coded the best way but it works great for my purpose. All you need to know is what type of marks you need. Inside/outside, outline thickness, layer name, etc.

I have no idea of coding. So Cutting Master works that way as i described? Also i saw that if i hide for example the first layer to make marks to second layer it removes from the first. Meaning can do only one at a time. Very strange

Cutting Master probably works by using macros anyway. All you have to do is find the code and see about "modifying" it. Or post a snip here and others can help.
From Corel open macro manager (Alt+shift+F11)
Use the windows "snipping tool" and marquee an area to capture the list, copy and paste here. Like this

Ok i understand but i i still think that is not well made as official add-on for machines that cost thousands

Used Cutting Master 3 & Graphtec CE600 for several yerars. The way you described is the easiset way. I used that way too.

Which way?

The way you described above, with different layers.

The problem is that you cannot have multiple items, with its own marks. The only way is having different pages and every page its own design with marks
