"eCut cannot find the plotter." Fix: Check your Windows Firewall. eCut uses raw socket connections. Also, ensure no other software (like cutting software) has "hijacked" the COM port.

The cut is misaligned with the print (Off by 2mm). Fix: You need to calibrate the registration mark reader. Go to eCut > Optical Registration > Calibration . Use a ruler to measure the actual printed marks vs. the virtual marks.

Launch CorelDRAW. You will see a new "eCut" toolbar or docker usually located on the right side of the screen.

While CorelDRAW is excellent for drawing logos or layouts, it does not natively understand the language of plotters. eCut acts as a translator and a toolset, allowing you to send cut lines directly to your cutter, manipulate contours, nest objects to save material, and even perform barcode scans for contour cutting.

By removing the need for intermediary software, automating the tedious tasks of offsetting and nesting, and speaking directly to your hardware, eCut saves you time, material, and frustration. Whether you are cutting a single bumper sticker or 1,000 complex decals, the precision and speed of eCut will transform your CorelDRAW workspace into a professional production powerhouse.

This process is slow, error-prone, and wastes material.

Close CorelDRAW completely. Run the installer as Administrator.
