Select your vector objects. Click the "Cut" button. The plugin will analyze the selected paths, ignore strokes that are too small (noise reduction), and send the data to the machine.
Before understanding MyCut, one must understand the chasm it bridges. A CorelDRAW file (.cdr) contains bezier curves, colors, and layers designed for human eyes and printers. However, a vinyl cutter, CNC router, or laser engraver speaks in a different language: HPGL (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language), G-code, or specific servo-motor commands. The traditional workflow was cumbersome: design in CorelDRAW, export as an AI or DXF file, import into a separate "cutting software" (like VinylMaster or Flexi), reassign line weights, set cut parameters, and finally send to the machine. This process was not only slow but prone to translation errors—open paths would close unexpectedly, line thicknesses would be misinterpreted as cut strokes versus registration marks, and nested objects would collide.
Traditional workflows often involve a clunky "Save-as -> Open in third-party software -> Adjust settings -> Cut" loop. Here is why thousands of professionals are switching to MyCut: Mycut Coreldraw Plugin

The is a specialized software bridge designed to allow users to output designs directly from CorelDraw to MYCUT cutting plotters without needing third-party vinyl cutting software like Artcut or Flexi. Select your vector objects
MyCut addresses this by inserting itself directly into CorelDRAW’s toolbar. This native integration is its primary innovation. Instead of exporting, the user simply selects an object, clicks "MyCut," and defines parameters (cutting force, speed, overcut, tiling). The plugin converts the vector paths directly into machine instructions, sending them via USB or serial to the cutter. This reduction of steps from five to two is not merely a convenience; it is a reduction of error vectors and cognitive load.
