I understand the difference between Raster/Vector graphics... What would be the reason for someone to buy a Vector program to use with CW machine beside LETTERING?

Rick, you can create a lot of objects with a vector program such as CorelDraw... using gradients, contours and blends you can achieve some pretty neat results...

For example I created this wrench completely from scratch in Coreldraw. I used a picture of one to trace the outline and then filled in all the details with objects, contours and gradients...

Jon,
Thanks for the reply, Is CorelDraw is the best for doing vector graphics within Designer? I've been playing around with Xara Xtreme Pro... Is one better than the other? I have PhotoShop CS2, knowing it is a raster program, also tried Adobe Illustrator CS2, For what I read this program is very limited in what it can do. Just didn't want to buy a vector software program that would not fit my needs with the CW system. Thanks
