engrave and cut not lined up

Post by squizzel »

Hi all
As the title suggests when I do an engraving and then a cut around it using layers in corel x7 and corel laser, the cut is around an inch off to the side or above. I have saved the layers as vectors, rastas, bmp and a combination of all but nothing works, it just moves the cut above, below or to one side or the other. Can anyone help at all please.
Thanks in advance

Sorry I haven't been around for a few weeks. I have worked it out, I dont know if its the right thing to do but it works. I have put a square around the whole job, and copied it onto each layer. I have to select the whole page but including the square and everything comes up in the correct place. I select no bounding box on the cut screen and it ignores the square. I am new to these machines so if its a normal thing to do and it was just me being a bit thick I apologise, but everything is running fine now.
Thank you
