Roland SP-300V, Coreldraw & CutContour

[Nicedeal]

Hello from Norway!

I've just bought a new SP-300V, and I'm trying to figure out this cutcontour-stuff with Corel.. I've set up the palette correctly, but when I use the pen outline tool it creates a coloured outline on both sides of the lines in the image. When I import this into VersaWorks, it has alot of unwanted cutlines, as all I want to do is cut the outer-contour of the image.

When using the contour-tool in corel, I can't get VersaWorks to recognise the cutlines.

Hope this makes sence..

Best regards,
Torbjørn

EDIT: I figured it out. Using Effects -> Create boundary works great!

We don't have the same Roland but we do use Corel and Versaworks. What we were told and it has worked successfully for us, is the following:

1. Create a "hairline outline" for your CutContour line. Don't use any other outline thickness.

2. You say you've set up the color palette correctly, but just to be sure: here are the steps we did:
a. Open Outline Color Dialog
b. Click on "Palettes" tab
c. Select "User's Palettes"
d. Select "Custom Spot Colors"
e. Select any color (we chose a fusia color) and name it exactly: CutContour

3. Now set that hairline to the color you named CutContour.

Is should show up in Versaworks on the "layout" window as a row of marching ants.

Also remember that no cutcontour lines will show up in a jpg - must be a pdf or eps to work.

I hope this helps.
