Creating Scroll saw patterns using CorelDraw X5

I have CorelDraw X5. It does a great job creating vector drawing from bitmaps with just a button click, but what I want to do is make the open areas that one would cutout on a scroll saw as the carve region within Carvewright designer.

Example. I imported a scroll saw pattern into CorelDraw. I then select trace image (line art), it traces nicely, but I need the areas that get cut out as the traced segments so that when it is imported as a DFX into Designer, I can make a pierced cut out. Currently the parts that I don't want cut out are selected in Designer.

I hope this is clearer than mud.

Has anyone created scroll saw patterns using CorelDraw?

Thanks,

Steve

I have used scroll saw patterns, again today. Just open them in Inkscape and save them as DXF. Here's one of them.

ok Zan29 when is class in for lessons think we should have a pattern making class. nice work.

Yeah Roger, we should get together with Henry and the other guy (can remember his name) and have a CW weekend pattern design brainstorming........hahaha
