Dr. Engrave is very basic, but the good thing is that it has a small learning curve (i'm trying to learn engravelab now... powerful, but a huge learning curve).
Engravelab can import .bmp and .dxf files only. For DXF, it has to be an older format, and the file size can't be too big, otherwise it'll crash engravelab.
Now, if you have Corel Draw 13, you can import any file format into that, run the trace program, which will create vector artwork. You then select the vector art work, and can copy and paste it into Dr. Engrave.
So, essentially, get a .eps, open it in Corel Draw, and then cut and paste it into Dr. Engrave. I do it all the time.
Alternatively, get the .eps save it as a b/w .bmp, and he can import it into Dr. Engrave. |
