Main functions

	Nesting
	This is very powerful function helps you to prepare object for plotter or CNC machine! In a few seconds, the Nesting Function can position selected objects on a specified sheet. You'll be impressed at the speed! You can zoom-in and zoom-out in a preview, select objects and change its parameters, and nest to a "container" shape. You can use any shape as container - all you have to do is pick it in the preview and check 'use as container'. You can nest each color on own sheet! Select the method you need, and eCut will separate shapes to color groups and nest each group in separate sheet! Nesting text? No problems! With eCut you can do it in few seconds! See this examples to see nesting function power! True shape nesting using color dividing. High speed text nesting. Nest complex shape inside container Nesting with preservation of orig. angels of shapes *for wood or brushed metals Nesting with grain maintained (and not maintained) *for wood or brushed metals eCut 3 nesting eCut 5.0 nesting
	Cut/plot
	When working with vinyl cutters, many people face a problem choosing software. Separate software beyond CorelDRAW has both weaknesses and advantages. One of the most important inconveniences is that you need to export to the other program! eCUT keeps everything in CorelDRAW. Cutting using the Windows driver in some cases leads to bad quality of curves, especially on long blocks. eCut corrects this mistake too. Because eCut module prepares the output file in it's own way. Also there are a lot of algorithms in eCUT, that makes curve look more smooth, can change first point of curve, sort curves, emulate OFFSET and etc... See this additional material for more info! Main panel overview eCom 1.0 software (already inside eCut installer). Knife way with optimization and not.
	LEDs
	Here's a very powerful function will help user to create beautiful LED signs. Contour and fill methods are great, built-in catalog editor will help user to create own LED catalogs. And do not forget, that user can use a shape from the document as single LED. :-)See this additional material for more info! Main window overview Simple fill Grid fill Center line Contour fill one row Contour fill two rows Contour fill, using shape from document Cost and count, show count/price/power of selected leds. LEDs editor, allow to add/remove/edit LEDs.
	Neon
	This function was made to help neon designers. It helps designer to create great neon sign. Many tools for edit neon tubes will make this process more easy: Features of Neon function: Neon Contour neon Neon fill See neon function use example! Neon fill and pick angle feature Neonize Neon contour and center line Neon edit features ex1 Neon edit features ex2 Neon edit features ex3 Neon edit features ex4 Center line algorithm
	Effects
	8 great effects will help designers save time. And the result of all these effects will be ready to cut on plotter or CNC machine: Shadow Drop shadow Extrude Advanced contour Trim Slice Corners proceed Random copy Effects

Additional functions

	Cassette Use this function to quickly create boxes from composite material. Best choice for light box and facade Example
	Weeding lines Very powerful function to create weeding lines. It has few methods and helps designer save a lot of time. Example
	Grid Quick method to create simple grid. All you need is specify cell width, height, row and column count. Example
	Lines Quick and simple method to create straight lines. Example
	Roll edge This function creates edge roll. Also marks control points, right and left turns. Example

Measurement functions

	Perimeter Very popular tool to measure perimeter of selected objects. Also allow to calculate price depending on shape size. Example
	Area Calculate area of selected objects without overlaps, but if curves are not perfect, then use BMP area as result. Example
	Time Unique function! It calculates time that plotter will spend to plot selected shapes. Best choice to optimize your work time. Example
	Angle Simple function allow designer to get angle in selected point of curve. Example
	Cost Very useful function to calculate job cost. Allow calculate perimeter or area of selected objects. Example

Fix functions

	Intersect Function to find intersected objects, use it to fix bad artwork. Example
	Duplicates This function allow user to find similar objects which lie on top of each other. Example
	Reduce nodes This function use built in CorelDRAW ability to simplify selected curves. If a shape has too many nodes - optimize it using this function. Example
	Connect paths This feature will be very useful after importing CAD files. Try it and all curves with opened paths will be connected to single curve. Example
	Separate shape Use this function to divide large objects into little blocks. Example
	Remove double edges Remove double edges::Great function that removes only duplicated edges. Useful for CNC machines. Example

Search functions

	Search by fill Use this function to find objects with same fill. Example
	Search by outline Search by outline. Use this function to find objects with same outline. Example
	Search inside container This function allows designers to find all objects which lie inside selected container, or intersect with it's edges. Example

Useful functions

	Break apart Same as CorelDRAW function, but allow to break apart groups.
	Create cropmarks Very useful function, that creates simple cropmarks for print output. Useful for print and cut jobs. Example
	Divide shape Best choice if you want to break a word into letters or break complex curves to simple shapes. Very useful when processing files for CNC machines or cutters. Example
	Create draft Use this function to create draft from selected shapes. User can use standard scales and paste common sizes. Example
	Multiply shapes Use this feature to make copies of selected objects. Also you can fill specified area with selected object. Example
	Round corners Great function for CNC machine users - it allows you to round corners according to selected method. Example
	Center line Create center line of object using CorelDRAW algorithm or build in eCut magnificent algorithm. Example
	Print/Cut Useful function to create files for printing and cutting. Example
