Key Features of Ecut Corel

1. Seamless CorelDRAW Integration

Ecut installs as a docked toolbar inside CorelDRAW (versions X4 through 2023, as well as CorelDRAW Graphics Suite). Recognizable icons for "Cut," "Setup," and "Test Cut" appear on the macro bar. The plugin respects CorelDRAW’s color palette—black lines typically indicate cut lines, while red can indicate perforations or kiss-cuts. Report: Ecut Corel 1
