Vector Software

[Sign-Man Signs]

Looking for a real good vector software program. Using Flexi and Corel but want something better. Any ideas?

 

[OldPaint]

aint any better then COREL

 

[SignosaurusRex]

Vector Magic is very impressive. Beats Corel all to hell IMO

I saw a package at a show a couple of years ago and used it there but cant remember what it was.

Lots of people, like me, swear by Illustrator.

you talking vector drawing or vectorizing?

corel is quite good enough IMO (for vector drawing)

Source code went open-source in 2006 and now there is a free Linux version as well..

ive worked with FLEXI, SIGN LAB, GERBER GA6.0, SIGN WIZARD, VMPRO, LETTER ART, and i still cant find better then corel.

I'm gonna jump on the Illustrator bandwagon. I've been using it for vectors since '99. I've tried Corel, etc, but never tried to make anything with them; just edit native files then export.

...illustator?
they sort of own it now.
unless you can get a copy of Aldus Freehand on 3.5 inch diskettes.

I have Xara Extreme on my netbook running Linux. It really is pretty good for open source.

I tend to favor EmbroideryStudio Level 3, but that's intergrated with CorelDraw x5 (right now, another release should be coming out soon enough though, it's about time in their cycle for a new one).

Illustrator!!! Freehand was the absolute best at vector drawing...Photoshop converts bitmaps to vector nicely

 

[OldPaint]

FREEHAND and CANVAS............was the bomb....

I like Corel but in some cases VMPro proved to be better

 

[james breest]

I like SignLab (CadLink Technologies) very user friendly and easy to train someone on.

 

[d fleming]

Signlab for me, I have corel, illy and have worked in flexi, prefer signlab.

The newest Illustrator CS6, liking it a lot here...
