Xpres Cut Plus: Ultragraphics Roland CX-24 system Manual - Manual (Page 12)

To produce cut lines around your designs within CorelDRAW you will need to use
two different tools, the "Bezier tool" and the "Shape tool". these are located in your
standard tool bar.
The bezier tool is in the fourth tool down and is the second tool in the flyout menu
as shown here.
When using the bezier tool every time you click the mouse CorelDRAW will place
a "Node" on screen and join a straight line to the next node that you place on
screen.
Example 1.
When you are drawing around a logo by clicking the bezier tool as in example 1,
once you have placed your points in a rough shape around the design and
have reached the first point you placed down the cursor will change showing
that CorelDRAW will close the curve.
Example 2.
If you were drawing a cut line around the logo below you would place a point
in the top left corner to begin, then a point in the top right corner, then click the
centre at the bottom, once you have clicked the point at the bottom you would
then return to the top left corner and close the curve as in example 2.
