Exporting from CorelX5 results in multiple .eps files

We prepare our artwork for cutting with VersaCamm VS420 with CorelX5. The image is in the artboard, the image typically has a cutline and when I export, we export to .eps and selected only. It seemed to be occurring sporadically, not it seems to be happening more often, that the result of the export is 1, 2, 3 or even 6 copies of the artwork we selected and exported. The file names are appended with ' - n' where n = the number of copies. Inspecting 6 recently created, 3 were empty, 1 was partial and 2 appeared to be the logo I was exporting.

Anyone seen this? Anyone have a guess on what the solution is?

Thanks

When exporting if you have images outside of the page boundaries - unless you select current page PLUS selected only you will get multiple pages. Selecting current page is only an option when you extend past the page boundaries just as you cannot not select selected only unless something is selected.

I have also seen it when there are several pages in a Corel document; There should be a box to check that states "this page only" or something similar to this

I have had the same experience as Jen and used the same solution to correct the issue. When I try to open the multiple files that were generated, an error message appears about a file being too small for all but one of the files.

first, if all the copies are the same , export 1 make your copies in VW. If not the same, bring all to front, group all, export selected only.
