I notice that many posters are using Corel Draw. I have Version 12 and have an order in for the new X3 version. I do a reasonable job of designing with Corel, but have, in the past run the various machines we have using their respective software. We use Enroute 3 Plus for CNC router and the Vision Pro (Engrave lab, I believe)software for the rotary engraver.

I have a question about the procedure used to create braille. We currently use the Vision Pro software to translate and punch the holes for Raster ball Grade II braille. We are licensed for this system. What program or procedure would one use to accomplish this with laser?

What other software programs are being used to create artwork for laser engraving? I also own and have used Photoshop a lot in the past for work on photos and creation of artwork for printing on a wide format printer. I imagine it will be useful also.

Your great input will be appreciated.
