A number of people that have Vision Engravers want to send jobs directly from CorelDraw to the engraver. With the Vision S3 controllers you can do this very easily

Import a Logo
Let us import a logo into the job. Go to File (1) and Import (2).
Our Logo is Imported
Here is our logo. It is a good vector image. Notice though that it still has the black fill. The Vision machine will not engrave the black fill so we might as well get rid of it so we can see what we are getting. To see the job with no fill turn on Wireframe.
Switch to WireFrame
Select VIEW (1) than WIREFRAME (2).

Wireframe gets rid of all the black fill
Set Up a Job With Text
I have set up a job with text. Notice that the text is in an outline form as well.
Select the Export Filter
To access the Export Filter go to FILE (1) EXPORT(2).
Export Your File to the Vision Machine Tools Inbox
Make sure that you have the “File Type” set to the .plt filter (1). Select the Inbox under Vision Machine Tools (2). Click Export. The job will automatically be sent to the engraver once you exit this screen.
Set your Plotter Origin to Bottom Left
Set your Plotter Origin to “Bottom Left” (1). Click OK (2) The job will automatically be sent to the engraver once you exit this screen.
Out of Bounds Error
If you see this screen then you have not selected your page orientation properly. Change it to bottom left.
Right Screen
If you see this screen then you are ready to engrave
I have tried to do this and it does send it but I want to use diamond drag. So when I hit start the vacuum turns on and the spindle starts spinning???
Hi Bob
It depends on the setup in your control unit. These are on by default so they need to be turned off
