RDWorks is a laser control software commonly used for preparing laser cutting and engraving jobs. When used with CorelDRAW, the RDWorks plug-in can help users import graphics more conveniently from CorelDRAW into RDWorks.
This guide explains the basic RDWorks installation workflow, including CorelDRAW parameter setup, RDWorks plug-in installation, macro initialization, and using the Laser Running button to import graphics.
Before installing the CorelDRAW plug-in, make sure the RDWorks main program has already been installed on your computer.
