SignTools CUT tool

With SignTools 3 it is easy to cut from CorelDraw. Unlike other Corel add-ons it doesn't open another window from which you cut. There is no need for a cut preview window because it works on the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) principal. You simply design you graphics, move them to the bottom left of your CorelDraw page and click on the Cut button. You can choose All Objects or Selected Only. You can design in full color and it is not necessary to place hairline outlines on your objects.

SignTools CUT Settings

The SignTools 3 Cut Settings dialog box makes setting up as easy as 1...2...3.

1. Choose your cutter from a drop down list containing 140 popular cutter plotters as well as generic HP-GL drivers if your cutter is not listed.

2. Choose your port.

3. If you are using a Serial (Com) port, click on the Properties button and configure the port.

For cutters that are on a networked system, the SignTools 3 User Guide contains instructions to help you with setting up shared cutters.

With both the Cut and Cut Settings dialog boxes we have endeavoured to make it as simply as possible without cluttering them up with too many options. SignTools already contains all of the tools and options you may require for cutting such as Weedbox, Multicopy, Rego Marks, Color Separator and Vinyl Saver. After more than 3 years of research and customer feedback we decided to keep these tools seperate from the Cut tool, giving you much more flexibility and an easier user interface without complicating the task of cutting.
