I'm working on a Corel addon to generate cutting files directly from Corel.
Would anybody be interested in this?
Rob,
I think Corel does cut directly to plotters. For years you needed a "CoCut" option. Is this what you're after.
Since I don't use my Corel Draw often, when I need to import a weird file that I can't get open any other way, I save it as a DXF and cut with Flexi.

For my PRT..
I already use Corel to cut vinyl.
I'm working on a plugin to create router files.
I draw most of my stuff in corel and export as .ai or .pdf to import into VCarve to create router files.

Ok, I use it the same way, except export as a eps. to aspire its quick, don't have a shopbot anymore but way back in the early days of shopbot I sure did use corel formaking files for it.
See how easy it is when Dan chirps in.
So many well intentioned questions don't give us enough information for proper response. Now I feel dumb for even posting.

No worries... I could've been a little more clear on what I was talking about.

I'm working with a designer who's used to vinyl work and other sign work and she designs 100% in corel and exports as DXF to send to me to cut on ShopBot. Import into Aspire, create my tool paths and cut. As Gene said, very easy.
