Artwork Layout
Because the Rotary Attachment automatically compensates for the diameter of the
glass, artwork setup is relatively easy. The most important thing to remember when
working with the rotary is that your artwork needs to be rotated 90 degrees to the way
it would normally be setup for flat work. There are several visual tools later in this
procedure that will help make rotary setup easy.
Page size is not overly important, but the following descriptions will give you a good
starting point. Many people set the page to roughly match the size of the piece to be
engraved because this helps to visualize artwork placement.
Note: The artwork in the following examples does not fill up much of the Corel
page that you are printing from. You can normally get by with using small pages
for most artwork because the entire page is only necessary when you are lasering
all the way around the cylinder (360 degrees) and/or if you are lasering from the
top to the bottom of the cylinder.
For the width (x-direction) of your
page, lay the glass flat and orient it
as it will rest on the rotary
attachment. For this glass, the
width of the page will be six inches
(152 mm).
