Struggling with Corel Draw CutContour

[Mcffee]

Good day,

are there any seasoned CorelDraw users here?

The printshop asked me to change the CutContour line from pink into cyan, and to rename it into Thr-cut.

I can't figure out how to change the cut line color, tried different ways via this configuration window, but changing the color here does not change the standard pink. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

It has been a million years (at least) since I used CD. But can you just select the line, then right click on a color on the screen palette?

If the outline is a contour, then you might have to convert the contour so it is not a contour any more? In Xara (which is what we use here) it's Convert to Editable Shapes.

Hi Gary,


Yes, changing the line into a random color removes the cutting line. I should fine a way to change the default color of the ContourCut. That's not just a graphic outline but something readable by cutting machine software.


Thanks,
Al

Good luck with this.

You need to use the Palette Editor.
