Nevertheless, I do thank you for coming to my aid.

I will definitely log in to Signs101 to check into setting up Corel as you have described.
Additionally, I'm interested in the "bridge" type of software for use with Corel. I'm thinking the terms "bridge" and "plug-in" are interchangeable.
Thanks again.

Ed:
Graphtec tech support gave me a password to download a Corel compatible plug-in. It's called Cut Master. It actually shows up in the drop down options in Corel. I have a 5100.
That was about 3 months ago. Like you, I've been turning business away because I haven't had time to get up to speed on it.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I'm not using Illustrator. Although it's a great program, I have not reallly had a need for it. Maybe in the future, however.

If I am correct the demo will let you use it as a full program for about 25 or so times. That should be enough to tell if you like it. Let me know if it works well for you it might be one that I would look at for future use. From
a cost stand point and what it seems to have it looks good.

Interestingly, this company, as well as the company that Joe Hayes suggested, are both based in Australia. There's a "Peter" joke in there somewhere, I'm sure. B-)
Thanks again, and I apologize for failing to reply earlier. We "geezers" have to stick together, although you are MUCH older than me. :O)

The vinyl bridge program I have (pro-cut) is a stand alone program.
I design in corel draw, save it as an .AI or .EPS file and then open it in pro-cut. It then layers it by colors so that I can either cut it by colors or I can cut it all at once if I want to. Can be sized, rotated, mirrored, sectioned or etc. I use it for cutting all my graphics. Very simple and great program. I believe co-cut might be the newer version of what I have.
I use the other programs I have for basic lettering but I could use them for the graphics if I wanted to but I like corel for designing and pro-cut for cutting, simple is what I like.
Sign tools should do everything you need and it's at a reasonable price.
