Beffy, the buddy has a vinyl grafics shop, there soft wear is a little different then ours. I don't have Corel or I Probly wouldn't have been so vague with what I was asking. I'm just trying to cut stuff for him in metal that he has designed and find common ground in soft wear that we both understand. Thanks hooked!beefy wrote:Are you using Coreldraw ?

If it is a vector.....Inkscape will open most any file type. (ai, eps, svg, pdf, etc...) Then you can save as dxf or svg and go to sheetcam. If I understand what you are asking then that should do it.
