Re: Software compatibility files
Vectric is a great company, but they have an interest in making some of the Free Projects only compatible with Aspire with the hopes that users will upgrade.
Poor marketing decision (IMHO).

Re: Seperate drawing package, which one to buy?
Adobe Illustrator imports directly into Vectric software. It is considered a world-class CAD program. Lots of plug-ins and add-ons for Adobe Illustrator. $20 per month from Adobe.com. Steep learning curve! But all CAD programs can be tough to get used to. IMHO, Vectric has modeled their software off...

Whiskey Barrel Lid
We had to reset our Z several times to successfully carve the Jack Daniels logo.
Those whiskey barrel tops are NOT flat... Hills and valleys everywhere.
Fun.

Re: Transporting a CNC machine
We've thought about this too. However, we'd need to carry all the other shop tools along with a very heavy CNC machine.
A mobile wood shop? Whoo-boy!

Re: Cost of a project
We stopped doing signs because around here (Southwest) we could never get more than $40 per sign.
You've made a sign that should sell for $125 (IMHO) but you will need an area of the country where you can get prices like that.
Good luck.

Re: Vector Validator
We trace bitmaps everyday using the Illustrator Trace Tool. Here's what we've figured out... So many times we get a double trace! The program traces the boundary and the fill. However, to the naked eye, one might not see that double trace. Illustrator can be told to ignore the fill color and trace o...

Re: Copying
FYI...
A majority of those vector images on vectorstock.com started out as bitmaps. They were traced into vectors with tracing software or some on-line tracing service.

tile-1.jpg We forgot to upload this. Here's the reverse trace result. The trace software used here did its job and captured all the details. However, the quality of the tile png is rough.
