What Software Do You Own and Use?

[Fred Weiss]

Please check all that apply.

Fred i use LXI Master Plus,,is this well know program? I did not see it on your list of programs.

[SouthPaw]

I like photoshop better than photopaint, but I'll have to wait to get that.

[RubberDuckyDecals]

I actually really like using Macromedia Flash for its drawing tools. It's great for simple stuff and exports illustrator 8 which my sign program likes. It's not a complicated program and while its best for doing crazy animations and off the hook programming and scripting, the intuitive drawing tools are just fantastic.

[3CGraphics]

I own macromedia MX suite but only use FLASH from it - never got the hang of freehand but did use fireworks a lot for web stuff.

Vinyl Express LXI is the same thing as Flexi.

[Techman]

cocut!

[cwa]

I do everything in Corel X3 and bring it into Flexi to print/cut.
I also have Adobe CS Illustrator and Photoshop. CAD Designer uses Sketch-Up not CAD. I fumble around with the trial version from Google.

[Pro Image]

Still a Inspire user trying to work out Flexi so I am as efficient in it as I am Inspire.........

[Flame]

Regularily... I use Illustrator CS2, Photoshop CS2, Flexisign Pro 8.0v2, CorelDraw X3 and the entire Macromedia MX Suite (Dreamweaver, flash etc.).

Got plenty of more programs, but only dabble with them. Not much more.

CorelDraw X3 is my #1 program.

[Jackpine]

CorelDraw X3 and SignLab.

[Steve C.]

Fred, I don't OWN any software....but I do have License to use
Corel. Flexi. Signlab. Photoshop

[GraphixCALC]

Primarily Corel X3 (both Draw and Paint) for design...along with the Adobe Suite that I'm still trying to learn. For vinyl cutting, CoCut Pro all the way. For printing, I use Wasatch SoftRip. I also have Inspire XP Pro, but it screwed with my CoCut Pro, so I unloaded it. It seemed kinda quirky to me, but seems to have some good features. I gotta say that this latest edition of Corel is VERY nice...I've been using X3 since it came out and am very pleased.

Since "other" is a big enough number can people expound a little bit more on what they are using. I see in the replies:

Macromedia Flash
CoCut

I would also like more replies based on the number of registered users.

Thanks

I'm one who checked other. We use Designart 2000(anagraph) alittle, mainly for referencing older file jobs we have done with that software, that will now be done in Coreldraw.

I think the largest contributor to the "Other" category are the users of the various private label software from Flexi which I recently added to the Flexi line. Other major others would be all the various bridge and basic cutting programs given away with various plotters.

[Gino]

We primarily use ANAgraph 3.5 for our die-cutting vinyls and PC-60 printer/cutter, while we use many of the other programs for our 540 VersaCamm.

The other programs we have is to help us use customers files in native programs so we don't have so much switching around to do.

[ENTDesign]

I use Micrographics Designer since I can actually cut on my Encad from it. The overpriced, crippled version of SA Photoprint I got to do this will print reliably, but only cuts on whim.

[Ken]

I voted ,but neglected to click on photoshop also...Ken
I'm really surprised (pleasantly) to see Corel leading Ilustrator...

[StitchWerks]

I use LXI Master Plus and Adobe Illustrator.

[chiselbit]

I use Coredraw X3 and cut using Coreldraw ... Flexi is to Expensive and more difficult to use. with Corel, the node editing is Lightyears ahead of Flexi.

I must say i use winpc sig pro 2007 and though its fairly new i love it i mean you can do outlines and shadows and stripes and everything else you could on just bout anyother program my only wish is that they still made casmate for the plotter i have the was by far the greatest program ever in my opinion

[LarryBoy]

Corel x3, Omega, Adobe cs2, Photoshop, Photopaint, but the best software I have is the oldest, v0.1 my brain, still works good in conjunction with my old plotter (pencil and paper).
