Auto Tracing Programs

[cpstang1967]

Just wanted to ask a few about what programs you use to auto trace. I've been hand drawing all of my cuts and would like to start saving time by letting the computer do the hard work.

Any input or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Cody

I think I'm in the minority here in that I use a Mac (my table is controlled by a Windows PC, but all design is done n the Mac and exported as DXF). I use Adobe Illustrator and the 'Live Trace' feature on my scanned images. I just got CS6, and the new image trace feature is just amazing, it creates paths with very few anchor points.
