What the outline does is match the 'table' in the PHcad program, and anything within the outline drawn in Corel will be put in the exact same place in the laser program. I don't edit ANYTHING in PHcad, other than slight position adjustments.Ī trick I learned for my benefit, is I have a 1300x900 table setting in Corel, and I have a job saved with the table blank EXCEPT the exact perimeter is outlined with a light gray hairline, 1300x900mm. My PHcad program is a '2' version out of 21 versions, I've tried many newer ones, I just keep going back to the old one because I have it dialed in perfectly, and those settings never seem to roll-over correctly into the newer program's settings.Įverything is done in Corel, if I have to edit anything, I do it in Corel and re-upload it. But a different program won't make those changes any easier for the most part. Your Universal's driver does all that automatically via your driver's firmware.

There's more settings to deal with with a glass laser, such as backlash (aligning left-to-right raster to match the right-to-left raster), 'corner power' (the power drop to compensate for the laser slowing for cutting curves and when approaching direction changes), and other adjustments, as these are all determined by YOU and entered manually as you see fit. If you simply get it in your mind that RDworks, PHCad (what I have) or any other Chinese laser program is nothing more than as the lasers 'printer driver', like your Universals, and use it as such, you won't have a problem.
