Software Compatibility with Maxmotion
The power of MaxMotion comes from the fact that it works with many
of the popular applications already on the market. It is assumed that the
user has the knowledge of the applications. Either he already possesses
or he plans to acquire them to design layouts for his engraving/routing
jobs. Following are a few pointers for each of the applications that will
simplify exporting the files from the various applications to the
importing of the same into MaxMotion.
Corel Draw
Corel Draw! version 3.0, through 7.0 work with MaxMotion. Use all
the capabilities and clip arts to create the job. Only a few steps to
remember are,
■ Use the fill tool. When you click on the fill tool (the last one in the
tool bar that looks like a graduation hat), a number of choices pop up.
Select the one with the big cross (X) and click on it. This action
removes the fill and leaves only outlines of the selected objects.
■ Use the Outline tool (the one above the fill tool in the tool bar with
an icon of a pen). When you click on the outline tool, a number of
choices pop up. Select the thinnest line, (the one that shows thinnest
lines with arrows from the top and the bottom). This action selects the
thinnest lines (0.003 inch) for the outlines.
If the information bar is activated at the top, you should observe a big,
white square box at the far right with a black X in it as well as defining
outline to be 0.003 inches.
