I have a drawing i wanna export so i can import it my Corel draw 12 program to use it with my laser engraver. These are the formats Corel Draw likes to work with. Didnt find any smart way to do this. Bc i dont wanna re-draw it all in for example ai etc.

If you have "Autproject geometry on achieve sketch plane" in the preference->design panel then that will have created a sketch with clean projections that you than can export as a .dxf file that can be laser cut.

Peter's method is the way to get to cutting the fastest. I've used it before and it works well. For assemblies that are mostly cut parts I don't find that workflow efficient. If it's a few parts or a larger assembly, it's great. My kits are flat packed cut parts with each assembly having as many as 40 or so parts or as few as 6. For the large flat cut assemblies I do it the other way, I generate the flat parts in 2D CAD or a drawing program (mostly Corel) to use for design/manufacturing. I then import a raw dxf into F360 to be used strictly for modeling. At that point I'm using F360 as a render app and not so much for design. On the flip side, I can take a printed part from concept to machine quite easily with F360.

Unless Autodesk changes the CAM and or printing paradigm you won't be able to go straight to your engraver/cutter without using the workaround described above or getting it into some other program (like you are doing with Corel now). Most lasers, pro or prosumer 36"x24" and under use eps printer drivers to print directly from a program. I've experienced this with Universal, Epilog, Trotec and the G.Wieke/Full Spectrum I have in my shop. A potential way to do this in F360 would be to right click the face and choose an option that could be called "send to engraver" or some such. That in turn would bring up a workspace that's basically a print dialog box to transfer your file to your specific laser cutting. This is pretty much the same workflow I use to get printed parts from F360 to Simplify 3D to the machines in my farm.

This was really helpful! First I tried the strategy to make a drawing with the profiles I wanted to cut, but when I imported the dwg file into CorelDraw, there were no lines at all. Then, I used the strategy to create a new sketch, then project all of the geometry that I wanted to cut. Then back in Solid mode, you can select the sketch, right click, and select "Save as DXF." That worked perfectly! Thank you!

In your example, I gather you just want a file that you can import into CorelDraw (and you drive your CO2 Laser direct from CorelDraw?) that represents the "Shape" you want the laser to cut out. .dxf is the way to go. If there is a single sketch that has ALL that you need simply right-click on that sketch in the Tree and Save as .dxf. If not all on a single sketch you can create a new Sketch (named say "for laser") and then project the geometry...or use a free add-in that does all that for you.

Its slow doing everything. Slow to process things in an art project.
As work gets more complicated (more elements on the screen) things get worse.
Even zooming in and out while working is slow.
And whenever it doesn't like a certain process, it just shuts down Corel.
I have run Corel repair system, and even reinstalled Corel just to be sure the software is okay.

- When serious errors occur in Coreldraw, the program goes into a perpetual processing mode
as if its trying to complete a process, but never does. You have to 'end task' the program.
I've never seen anything out of the ordinary when I open Task Manager.

Either 'the program is not responding' or no comment, as if the program is still operating normally (however its in some state of freeze).
OR
it just shuts down, disappears from the screen and you are staring at your desktop.
Then you hope, when you restart Corel, that a temporary saved backup exists and is offered to you.

My issues are just slow and jerky operation, and as on-screen artwork gets more complicated, the software
gets slower, jerkier, glitchier...as I move my view around my project, it seems to have trouble rendering.
Momentary black areas appear before th artwork renders again. Zoom in or out and it freezes momentarily,
or jumps jerkily in or out.


- Event Viewer...I am not really sure of where to look or what to look at, but I went through some Error lists
and I can't find CoreDRW mentioned anywhere. There appears to be thousands of errors logged, reported, etc.
Mostly system things, it seems.

- Nothing is overheating...in fact I have been monitoring temps since i got the new board and cpu...
and because of new fan controllers, I was curious as to what temps the main fans ramped up or down,
and when the GPU fans kicked in.
I also have a low end cooler on the CPU for the time being, so I want to monitor the CPU temp.
I'm happy that it is staying below nominal during various gaming and other things.

- Corel is the only program of this type that I use.
My games all appear to working well...90fps, stable, etc
I have some smaller programs that I use for art and related work, but they are pretty simple stuff as far as rendering things
or dealing with complicated vector and bitmap artwork.
I don't work in 3D (CAD, etc)

Two weeks ago I was running an old FX8300 cpu on an M3A78-CM mainboard with 8GB ram and the same RX580 GPU.
An old system, definitely not a powerhouse, and it struggled a bit in gaming...
but it ran CorelDRW with only a few issues. Just the standard Corel glitches and ocassional Corel related hang-ups.
But it didn't appear to suffer from the same system related problems I am having now.
I expected this new hardware to drastically improve my already passable CorelDRW operations...but its much worse.
And it all feels like its just not able to keep up and render things on the screen.

As a last resort you might want to do an Ingrade Repair of Windows. This is basically running the current Windows Installer while on the Desktop. It will replace your Windows Folder with an new one but with all of your 3rd party Apps intact. Than if you want you can run Windows Disk Clean to delete the old Windows.old folder to save space or leave there in case you want to revert back to that Windows again. I believe Windows automatically deletes that folder after a certain amount of days.

On my computer I have a somewhat similar issue. Sometimes a program would freeze for a second and then return to the desktop as though it was never opened. This happens with Firefox or when I use Kodi occasionally.

On my computer when it freezes for a few seconds especially while watching Kodi my hard drive seems to be running at maximum. Once the short freeze is over the Hard drive is back to it normal operation.

Once again, if you aren't familiar with working in Corel, then it may be impossible for you to get what I am describing.
Imagine holding a pencil and an art pad...and trying to draw a picture.
It involves leaning in and out constantly, toward and away from the page (*zoom in and out with the scroll wheel).

Now imagine trying to do this on a rocking boat thats also banging against the deck...
you keep losing the ability to focus on one spot, grab a detail,
or move your view in and out fluidly and smoothly.
Things get momentarily choppy or slow to react.
Functions are not responsive and then you suddenly lurch ahead as the graphics catch up with what you just did...
or they don't, things just don't happen, and you are left trying to complete the action.

Honestly, this is more like a graphics card that can't keep up in a game.
(although not like game lag)
And it only started with this new motherboard and cpu.

I'm questioning whether Adrenalin is the correct software to have installed?
Is this just for games, and may be hurting my Corel performance?
Or can I adjust things for Corel (from within Adrenalin)?

In your case, Thanks for explaining it in layman terms the issue you are having with CorelDraw. I can see how it can be frustrating having a newer more powerful and faster computer and CorelDraw is worse.

AutoCAD and VIZ are now licensed on annual terms and it will not let me install and run my 2008 version license anymore. Since I have been retired for over 12 years now I really don't have much use for either program and will not pay for an annual license.

This is purely a CorelDRW versus new MotherBoard issue.
As I mentioned, minor issues from before are now major issues.

I looked into whether I can tweak Adrenalin and the GPU for the Corel application.
But Adrenalin appears to only be for Gaming apps.
I wasn't aware of this.

The main difference between this new MB and my old one, is no onboard Graphics.
I am now relying solely on my GPU...which I assumed I was doing before...but I wonder if Corel relied to any extent on the onboard graphics of my old board? Is that possible?
Obviously, the onboard graphics would not have been very capable, but I could still run CorelDRW without my Graphics Card installed. Not very well, I admit, but it did work.

"Temporary files are used by applications to facilitate a number of functions, but are primarily used to swap information from RAM to the hard disk (and vice versa). Often when applications crash, these files are left in the Temp folder and must be removed manually. To delete temporary files, do the following:

NOTE: Certain files may not delete if applications which access those specific temporary files are open. If this occurs, simply reboot the computer and repeat the steps listed above, ensuring that all programs are closed.

"When working with large files in CorelDRAW, it may be required to increase the amount of memory allocated to the application. Default memory allocation is set to 25%. This can be increased to as high as 50%, though it is not recommended to exceed this level. Increasing this setting beyond 50% will reduce the amount of RAM being used by Windows, decreasing performance of the entire computer."
