Vector software

[Luke Lockridge]

Hey guys. I am looking for a good vectorizing program that I can use to turn images into EPS files. I have no idea how much these cost, but I would like to keep it as low as possible. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Adobe is a good program and the creator of the EPS format.....kinda pricy but they all are.

Most average Vector software programs will run you in the 400-1600 range. there are some free programs out and about the net but I dont know anything about those.

Inkscape is a good vector program and it's free. When I have problems with files in Corel, I usually take them into Inkscape and almost always, I can get something in or out of there that I can't in Corel.

It's a very powerful program.

Luke,
If you have the ability to convert DXF to EPS, then have a look at a program by IMSI called MagicTracer.

The price is $60.00
I haven't used this software, but I have been using TurboCad Pro by IMSI for years now and it has been extremely good for the price.

V-carve is good, but I don't know if that is what you are looking for.
