Composer can recognize existing layers and cut information embedded in some Adobe

Layer Options
Turn on Ignore Empty Layers to discard empty layers upon import.
Contour Cut Options
Depending on the software that creates the file to be imported, contour cut layers are defined by
layer name, layer color or fill/stroke attributes. You can turn on the contour cut definitions and
alter the layer names, RGB, or CMYK color to match the imported file.
For AI or EPS files the contour cut layer name in OMEGA must be the same as the name that
was used in Adobe Illustrator. The fill that defines the cut shapes must be defined in the Import
Options dialog box. If you enter a new name for the Contour Cut layer or new color definition
the information is maintained in the dialog box until you change it.
Turn on Contour Cut Layer and enter matching layer name, and then turn on Contour Cut
Color Name and enter the matching color name. Turn on Contour Cut Color (CMYK) and enter
the values for the color defined in Illustrator.
For CMX files, create cut objects with no fill or strokes. Turn on No fill/stroke = Cut to import
these cut objects into OMEGA Turn on Contour Cut Layer and enter the matching layer name
from Corel.
Tip: Click Preference to save the Layer/Cut Options to be the default settings.
