Our favorite program suitable for graphic is Adobe Illustrator (V3, V.8, V.10, CS, CS2, CS3).
However, artwork can also be done on any other vector based software (ie: CorelDraw, AutoCAD).

Acceptable file formats include: AI, DXF, EPS, saved from native vector based applications.
(Note: Before you save the artwork, all fonts MUST be converted to outlines.
All the artwork should also be saved in a 1:1 scale)

Vector graphics for cutting on laser should all be on one layer.

Be sure to:

• Set all the cutting lines to one color
  
• Ensure that all lines are connected
  
• Check that there are no double lines or duplicates of ther artwork.
  
• Leave space between the graphics and the enclosing material, about 1/2” on all sides.

Note that:

• All double lines will cause the laser to cut the same path twice which will reduce
  accuracy, and cutting time resulting in higher costs.
  
• All graphics should fit the material size 1:1 scale.
  

 Select all and from the "select" menu

 From the "type" menu select create outlines.

 Now all the text became has been converted to editable vector paths.

 Finally save the file as .ai (illustrator format).

All lines to be cut should be changed to polylines, type “pedit” press enter, choose the line that you want
to make into a polyline, press enter. You shoud also use the join command within pedit to make additional polylines.
Make sure that you are working in modelspace
Your graphics/drawings should be in modelspace and in actual size ( 1:1 ) for cutting.
