For a one time template, scan the object you want to engrave, trace it to vector, size your page in corel to your table size, arrange as many items on the page as you want, cover the table with transfer tape, take the table out of focus at least 1/4" and at low power, vector cut the tape. With the table being that far out of focus, you should get a good outline of the object without burning through the tape.

You might want to test your setting on just one item.

Hope this didn't confuse you more.

There is a macro in the coreldraw macros folder.

It is called copy XY and will duplicate selected text/objects and you can enter the x and y offset amounts to match the layout to how they are placed in the laser.

quote:

Crossing over large areas of the page with no engraving is often worse than the accel/decel problem. You might also find that a speed of 75% is actually faster than a speed of 100% due to over-travel of the optics past the engraved area.

Didn't see the brand of laser you have. Some have a box you can check that says laser as individual lines. You can set up several pieces but it will
laser each line individually so won't travel across the blank space between items.

Wouldn't step and repeat work as well?
