3. Place your artwork close to the top edge of the page. When the job starts, the first part of the process is for the
cylinder to rotate through any white space that is between the top of your page and the top of your artwork. Once it
has rotated through the white space it will begin to laser your artwork.
The edge of the black bumper on your Rotary Attachment corresponds to the left edge of your page in CorelDraw.
Set your cylinder on the Rotary Attachment so that it just touches the black bumper. The "top" of a cylinder can be
at either end of the Rotary Attachment. It is useful to visualize the orientation of the cylinder when it is being
engraved.
In this example, the bottom of the logo will engrave 4"
(100 mm) up from the bottom of the bottle.
Stretching or Shrinking Your Artwork for Objects with Multiple
Circumferences
The instructions below show you how to shrink or expand your artwork to accommodate a
cylinder where the area being engraved is a different circumference than the circumference
at the drive wheels. The Rotary Attachment works with the assumption that the cylinder
is the same circumference from end to end and that your artwork doesn't need to be
stretched. But some cylinders have a big difference in circumference from the middle to
the end that affects how the engraved image looks. It is sometimes necessary to stretch or
shrink your artwork so it looks proportional on odd shaped items. The photo below shows
a glass that fits this category.
This glass has a circumference of 4" (100 mm) at the ends and a circumference of 3.2"
(81 mm) in the middle where we want to engrave. Most artwork will look acceptable on
this glass without stretching or shrinking, but because the middle of the glass is a smaller
diameter than the ends, some artwork will look compressed (more as an oval than a
