Anyone else have intermittent problems with their laser recognizing the hairline as the cut line?

Occasionally corel will send a hairline as an engrave image. I can tell if the image is only hairline and the print file is combined (vector and engrave)and it take too long for the file to transfer to the laser. I usually view the file in the laser and find it as a engraved and resend it to the laser.

Most of the time when it happens, it recognizes the hairline as a fatter line and won't cut. Yesterday it tried to raster the hairline. When it does it the only thing I can do is re boot the laser and the computer.

Can you specify a width, like .001"? Works in Adobe. I think if I'm engraving and cutting in 1200dpi, I might have to specify a narrower line width, can't remember exactly.

I've tried that, didn't work. Reckon it's a Corel problem or a driver issue?

Brian, is it showing at the bottom right hand side of your screen as being a hairline? If it shows anything other than that, it isn't one and needs to be manually changed. An easy way is to click on the line once with the left button on the mouse, go to the colour swatch on the right hand edge of the screen, choose your normal hairline colour and right click on it. That should set it to hairline.

It comes up as a hairline in the docker.

Specify the line width @ .025 for vector cut.
Don't ya mean .0025

.025 vector line works on our Epilog
.025? You must mean metric?

OK. I had to check it 0.025 mm is equal to 0.001 inch. For my epilog, and others I think, a line must be equal to or less than .003 inch for it to vector cut.

Hey James
I think it might depend on dpi. On mine, at 600 dpi .002" will raster engrave.

0.001-inch (0.025mm) outline - is a vector cutting line with Epilog stuff. A question for Brian. Is this doing it on every file or just this one? Also have you checked the options in Corel to see what your default has been set to?

We use 0.001 line width for vector cut.
