Hi Karen, Welcome to Letterville. Do you possibly mean CoCut?

Although I can't offer any help with CoSign, I believe it's a stand-alone product made by the same company which makes CoCut, Eurosystems. For more info check (I think) either CoCut or Summadirect, on the merchants' page. They also make a router program if anyone's interested.

Thanks everyone!!! I mean CoSign the name of this program I am using and yes it is a stand alone. Everything is good with the software except using an image other then theres... I am not real sure what I can convert and what I can't.. The biggest problem I am haveing is I have a job and they want an excavator and I scan and then it won't cut.. then I trace my own scan and it looks like YUCK!! I am not sure what else I can do. I know I can't convert Awhole LOT. So I am still playing and seeing what I can do.

Karen...Once you scan and trace a picture you WILL have to clean up the trace to reduce the number of nodes and smooth out the lines. Personally, I usually scan the picture, import it into my graphics program, then use it as a "template or guideline" for drawing over it. I find that much faster and cleaner than trying to clean up a trace.
Hope this helps.

just buy some vector based clip art. Getting the hang of tracing & cleaning scans is a must, but to get this job out quickly, I would think any decent clip art cllection would include some excavation equipment artwork. Rolands Vector Art collections most likely would as well, & those images can be bought one at a time as need right from the internet.
