Installing Woodman Docker for CorelDRAW

Ctrl+click on the machine’s movement arrows moves the head exactly by the width or height of the selected object on the page, rather than by the usual increment—this is convenient for placing identical parts right up against each other. The same works in the X/Y coordinate fields: clicking a field while holding Ctrl inserts the selected object’s dimensions as a ready-made offset (hold Shift for the other side of the object, and Alt to make it a negative value).

Five button-cells next to the X/Y fields save the desired machine tool points. Clicking inserts the saved coordinates into the fields, Shift+click saves the current values in the fields, Ctrl+click inserts the values and immediately moves the machine to that point, and Alt+click assigns a name to the button—it appears in the tooltip above the button along with the coordinates.

If the edges of an image have been cropped at the nodes using the "Shape" tool, only the visible part is now engraved. Previously, in such cases, the entire rectangle of the image was engraved regardless, without taking the cropping into account.

If an object or image is inserted into a shape using PowerClip, you no longer need to manually select the inside of the container—cutting, engraving, and bitmap images will automatically be cropped to the portion visible through the container. The container frame itself is not included in the cut.

The speed, power, and other parameters for each color are now saved directly in the drawing file—so when you reopen it, even on a different computer, you won’t have to remember what settings were used for cutting. You can transfer this set to another file using a text object: to create and read it, right-click “Scan” in the CNC section.

The btns:btn_layers_save and btns:positions_save buttons have been rewritten. btns:grp_smart now supports automatic grouping by frame and by shape.

Middle-clicking a button opens a brief description of that button and a YouTube video (if available). Pressing Alt and middle-clicking on a button opens a more comprehensive help page on the website—with images, all button functions, and the full video. Any other modifier key, such as Shift or Ctrl, can be used instead of Alt.

You can now specify multiple custom folders for installing Docker.

a file named docker_ai_prompt.md has been added to the archive; you can feed it to the AI to use the code written in Docker

Button for rotating to the minimum area or size. Tool tab tool:raspred

A mode for quickly creating lines has been added. This is useful for trimming uncut areas on plywood.

You can now take a frame consisting of two halves to calibrate the camera "above the machine" if the gantry prevents you from capturing a complete, full frame of the calibration grid.

A standard tooltip appears when you perform a regular middle-click; a window with extended help will open when you middle-click while holding down any of the Ctrl, Shift, or Alt keys

Selects the desired entries in the font list by their numbers and deselects all others. This is convenient when the set of fonts for the list has already been specified somewhere as a list of numbers—in the task, in correspondence, or in an adjacent text block of the layout.

The logo—whether an object or an image—must be placed on top of or below the text. It is important that its dimensions do not exceed those of the text.

Displays statistics on the execution time of actions in Docker.

Generates a guide for a hand router to easily round corners to the desired radius

Arranges circles inside any shape—either in a grid or randomly—with spacing between circles and an offset from the edge. The size is specified not by a field but by a template: draw a circle of the desired diameter and add it to the selection last. If the “two sizes” checkbox is selected, there are two templates, and the diameter of each circle is varied between them—making the layout both denser and more dynamic. The third layout uses maximum circles: the size is dictated by the shape itself; the largest circle that fits is placed inside it, then the next largest in the remaining space, and so on until the template size is reached—coverage reaches up to 90%.

Added "large font" and "linear font" toggles, which allow numbers that are multiples of 5 cm to be displayed larger. Checking the "opposite side" box draws the ruler in the same direction but on the opposite side.

The algorithm has been ported to a mathematical engine. The search is now significantly faster and more accurate. This will help with numbering parts, for example, when coloring by color.

Unfolds the dome into a single wedge. Draw the dome’s profile—half of its cross-section—and a vertical line: this defines the axis of rotation. The height of the unfolded shape is equal to the true length of the profile, not the height of the dome.

The document's base point is now set at the bottom of the docker, and all docker tools use it.

A rotated object now scales along its own axes rather than along the bounding rectangle, and scales from the document’s base point: if you place it at the bottom center, the bottom will remain in place while the object scales upward. A standard click uses the rotation angle from Corel itself. When you hold down Ctrl, the angle is calculated based on the geometry—not for each part individually, but relative to the last selected part, which determines where the top of the parts is. Therefore, identical parts arranged in a circle or along a curve are resized strictly in one direction. This same click comes in handy when the rotation angle for the parts has been reset to zero—for example, after importing a DXF file. The entire group changes, and its rotation is determined by the longest contour within it.

Clicking a field while holding down Ctrl inserts the corresponding dimension of the selected object: width into the width field, height into the height field, and curve length into the perimeter field. Hold Shift to enter the height, Alt to enter the width, and Ctrl+Alt to enter the curve length into any field. The Ctrl button is now available for the new rotation mode.

The new checkbox causes the form to use the part’s own axes rather than the sheet’s axes: offset, dimension, half, butt, and nodes, as well as increments using Alt. The button still specifies the side, but the side is taken from the part itself: for a rotated slot, “top” refers to the top of the slot, not the top of the dimension. The “Butt Joint” option first rotates the part to match the angle of the last selected part, so it aligns with its face rather than at a corner. The hotkeys for joining and halving work with rotation by default; the previous behavior remains available next to them under the same names with the suffix _no_rotate.

A "settings" folder has been created in the %appdata%/wpanel folder, and large blocks of settings are stored separately within it. This was done to speed up the interface.

Rotates each selected object so that it takes up the least amount of space. The angle is calculated precisely rather than selected by iterating through a range, so there is no minor misalignment, and this operation is fast even with hundreds of parts. The checkbox next to the button determines what is considered the smallest dimension: with it checked, the program finds the smallest area of the bounding rectangle; without it, the smallest side. The arrows specify how the part will be oriented: sideways—with the long side horizontal; upward—with the long side vertical. Rotations of less than half a degree are not performed at all to prevent already straight parts from shifting. Each object rotates independently; if you need to rotate several as a single unit, group them together.

It now runs on the IE11 engine—rounded corners, shadows, cursor highlights, and neat indentations have been added, and the interface can now be further developed. Exact versions: IE11, ECMAScript 5.1, CSS 2.1 with CSS3 modules. For those writing their own GBX generators, JSON, Object.keys, strict mode, and the array methods forEach, map, and indexOf are now available. If something in the panel has shifted or stopped responding to clicks, please let us know in the chat—these are side effects of the migration.

You can now create simple puzzles from a rectangle or from a single-element size in the specified quantity. A protrusion flip feature has been added: enable node editing, select an entire lock—from the node on the cut line to the next node on the line—and click “Flip.” The tab will move to the other side, the ends will remain in place, and the node selection is not reset, so you can click the button repeatedly.

The "Seal" tool groups objects in a grid: roughly square, or according to the number of items per row if specified. When Shift is held down, the spacing buttons and arrow keys set the exact spacing specified in the fields, rather than double that amount, as was the case before.

Rows and columns are sorted by dimensions rather than by the offset from the first object, so parts of different sizes no longer get mixed up with each other, and reversing the sort order restores the entire order, including the order within each row. Menu items that sort by size can now also account for layout: select an item while holding down a key, and parts of the same size within their group will be arranged in rows, columns (Alt), a zigzag pattern (Shift), or in the opposite direction (Ctrl). At the same time, sorting by height has been fixed: it was previously sorted in the opposite direction relative to width and area.

To enable this mode, you must disable coupling and clusters. For horizontal zigzag, set the line count to 100; for vertical zigzag, set it to -100.

Look for "preparation" in the path optimization settings (via Alt) btns:btn_cnc_lead

Finds points where lines intersect each other or themselves. The found points are marked with red circles—they remain until the next time the program is run and then disappear on their own. In addition to displaying these points, it can place nodes at them, break the path there, and remove loops: cut out the overlapping section and reconnect the ends. Only instances where one line crosses another are considered intersections. End junctions, tangents, and the corners of the path itself do not count. Only the parts being edited are converted to curves; the rest of the layout remains untouched.

These changes are mostly technical in nature and are intended for those who write their own modules. Please read the updatedhelp

Removes the "ladder-like" artifacts that remain after raster tracing, as well as node jitter on lines that should be straight. For each node, a line is drawn between the midpoints of the two adjacent segments, and the node is pulled toward it: the direction of this line does not depend on which phase the step is in, which is why it turns out to be “midpoint.” The alignment percentage determines how much to pull—0 moves nothing, 100 places the node entirely on the line; you can click this button several times in a row. The edges of the section are processed separately: you can leave them in place so that the alignment with neighboring objects isn’t affected, align them along with the rest, or place the entire section on a single averaged straight line—in which case, at 100%, it becomes perfectly straight from start to finish. This function applies to selected nodes if more than one is selected; otherwise, it applies to the entire object. Checking the “Smooth” box thins out the nodes using Corel’s built-in tool after straightening. Please note: The straightener does not distinguish between a raster step and a true angle and reduces any break—this is exactly what you need for tracing, but on clean geometry with a small number of nodes, the corners will be rounded.

Look for it in the GBX module under "Various Generators."

The "Razukrashka" script is a tool for CorelDRAW that automates the coloring of multiple objects without having to manually select a color for each one. The main mode creates a gradient (smooth or using a specified number of colors) between the start and end colors in RGB/CMYK: it either fills multiple selected objects in the order they are arranged, or creates a gradient series of copies of a single object—in both cases, labeling the color values beneath the objects. An additional set of tools works with random colors: save a palette of samples, color using that palette (as a fill or stroke) with the “no repeats” option, or fill with completely random colors without using a palette at all. Separate buttons allow you to further reorder the objects on the layer. Co-authored by Alexey and Andrey )))

Ctrl lets you create smoother angles. Shift lets you lock a vertex to prevent it from moving. Alt lets you change the length of the lines if the lock is active.

Allows you to isolate an object's outer outline for further manipulation. You can also delete the outline or, conversely, delete the inner objects

Now you can draw them independently of the box to create arbitrary structures.

You can trim the ends of lines that touch the edge of an object and connect the trimmed ends withlines

Rewritten using a new mathematical approach.

I found and added settings that aren't even available in the stock LaserCAD

It's easy to calibrate and adjust by moving the machine directly from thesettings

Calculates time savings during engraving by reducing idle passes through empty space. This means you no longer have to color objects in different colors to gain speed. Docker will do it for you

The compact control window is useful for a head-mounted camera.

A profile system for different machines and cameras has been implemented; you can now select a camera from the list and choose the resolution. Standard and advanced camera settings have been added, along with a live preview that does not interfere with image capture.

Two-factor authentication for downloading updates both on the website and in Docker.

It now compiles faster and can still search for any objects, even those outside of named groups.

You can now create tabs for the lid on the front or side walls at the same time as you create the hinges.

The algorithm finds paired walls and attempts to construct a smooth, elegant line between them.

It really should have been there a long time ago—the icon matches the selection, and the button group looks compact next to it.

Sorting by layer does not visually reorder the objects; it only rearranges them within the layer. Also, keep in mind that it sorts from the bottom up.

Three modes: Squeeze objects in, add objects to the container and redistribute them, and squeeze objects in while accounting for their shapes. The algorithm is very slow when there are a large number of small objects. hint:nest_holes:0:0

Text objects can be imported individually, as a single block, or even from the clipboard. In a text block, a single line can contain just paths or tab-separated lines that will replace text objects within the template (creating captions). It can also be a path to a .txt file containing a list of files or simply a path to the folder where the files are located. Files are selected using the following filter: *.jpeg|*.jpg|*.png|*.gif|*.tif|*.tiff|*.cdr|*.eps|*.pdf|*.ai

It now runs more stably, but most importantly, the object no longer breaks apart or loses pieces.

Now the SHIFT key doesn't interfere with other functions and works with any mouse button within the subgroups.

If this checkbox is selected and an object has been mirrored, it will return to the sample's position. The rotation angles of mirrored objects should now be interpreted correctly.

You can draw a midline between multiple simple objects. Select the curves in the desired order.

Creates a standard flow path between each selected object or between selected pairs. You can also create a looped flow path.

Under development. Needs testing!!!

Based on the outline color, it determines which parts to glue (spikes) and which to cut out (grooves) in the same way as it does for fills, but it does not compensate for these objects.

Mirror objects along a line or another object. If the click is not on the line, the system checks which quadrant the click landed in—and the mirroring is performed in that direction.

mirror_by_line—same as mirroring—change_2objects, and circle_3pt

It can now search for similar objects that are stacked on top of each other, as well as those located independently anywhere. It can also search for similar objects rotated at any angle. The search algorithm is now faster and more reliable, and it finds duplicates while accounting for slight differences in size and position.

Creates a circumscribed or inscribed circle based on the first 3/4 points of the selected object. You can also create a circle based on the chord length and segment height using the object's dimensions.

this will create an array of 5 by 2 objects, with an X-step twice the width and a Y-step of +50 added to the height.

this will create an array of 5 by 2 objects, with a step size along the X-axis twice as wide as the height and along the Y-axis three times as tall.

creates a 3-by-4 grid with a step of 150 along the X-axis and 100 along the Y-axis

Sometimes the same serial number was generated for different users, and the subscription verification was incorrect.

Solid vertical and horizontal lines are drawn from one edge of the sheet to the other, based on the label dimensions.

This feature allows you to immediately delete the source objects, leaving only the composited ones.

When this checkbox is selected, a complete grid is created, including along the edges. If the checkbox is deselected, the original rectangle remains, and the grid is drawn only inside it.

You can now type /2 or *3 directly, and it will apply the mathematical operation to the original value in the current field.

creates rectangles or circles, and resizes existing objects.
