havent' been using Corel for too long (Corel draw 10), and we've run into a stupid problem I can't figure out...
We just got some new engraving software for my brother-in-law, so he can engrave direct from Corel. Here's the problem...the software instructions state that we must export the file to be engraved as a .PLT (HPGL) file. The instructions even have pics of the "Export HPGL" windows, to show all the settings to save.
Now, can anyone tell me exactly HOW to export a drawing as a PLT file?? (note, it CAN'T be a DXF or DWG file, it MUST be a PLT file, due to the 1016 steps per inch Every type of file imaginable is available EXCEPT HPGL!
Went to the help menu, and it explains in great detail how to IMPORT a PLT file, and it explains what happens when you EXPORT a PLT file...but NO INFO on HOW to export as a PLT file, when there's no "PLT" extension available in the export list!
Went to the Corel website, it's there primarily for them to make more money ...and other help wasn't available today, so....
frustrating!!
(thanks in advance, any help GREATLY appreciated!)
