PlotCalc is a program that extends the functionality of the CorelDRAW application for working with a cutting plotter. After installing PlotCalc in CorelDRAW, there is an additional toolbar that allows you to work with cutting layouts. With PlotCalc you can quickly weed film waste, save raw materials by placing graphic elements on the film more compactly and calculate the total length of the curves to calculate the cost of cutting. There are also functions for preparing the project for cutting (transformation of objects into curves, removal of duplicate lines, finding intersecting figures, etc.) and optimizing the cutting sequence. PlotCalc allows you to create a scaled layout scheme on an A4 sheet. The user can set the priority of vertical or horizontal movement of the plotter knife. PlotCalc works with CorelDRAW X7 to CorelDRAW 2026 in 32-bit and 64-bit editions. Most functions are free, while the weeding and cutting tools are limited to two hours unless the program is activated with a paid code.

PlotCalc significantly reduces material waste and increases efficiency by optimizing cutting layouts and sequences in CorelDRAW.
