Title: Defining two objects as one
Post by: wlarry on August 17, 2008, 06:56:12 PM

Hopefully somebody can help me out.  I am trying to create a sign (plasma cut) of a horse, with text.  In corel X4, I can create the text sitting on a line and "weld" them together.  Sheetcam will recognize the text and line.  When I try to add the other object, sheetcam doesn't see it.  Does anybody have a step by step "idiots guide" to creating simple signs with pics and text ?

Make sure you are NOT outputting the line data as a spline from Corel X4

You need to save the lines as line segments.
