Hello all,

Sorry its been so long but various things have kept me away from this blog.

The Silhouette cutter and all the problems of computer programs that refuse to talk to each other is slowly driving me up the wall.

The drawing program that comes with the cutter is really of no use for the type of engineering drawings we use to draw for our scale models.

Some people are managing to drive the cutter like a printer, direct from their chosen drawing program; I just can't get my set-up to do that.

The Silhouette program is therefore needed to drive my cutter but it will read only a small number of drawing files and it will not read .cdr files produced by CorelDraw x7 family & student which I purchased for the purpose. The full version will, but 60ishGBPfor one and 600ishGBP for the full version puts the mockers on things some-what!

Excuse me; I'm off to bash my brains some more

Dave
