I like using Vector Magic personally it like 2 or 3 bucks but does a good job 
Also use Illustrator and have had good results over the years with that.
I find that it has some options that Corel doesn't have

Inkscape....a free Open Source program.
It's trace is better than Flexi, Illy and COREL.

I'm looking for something to convert crappy jpegs to crappy vector files, will Illy do that? I have Omega where I can do a decal cut to get some lines started. seems like I'm getting more and more jpegs for artwork these days. the vector doctor does nice work but I some times just like doing it myself as it's kind of fun.

and to down load it: http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=inkscape&filename=Inkscape-0.46.win32.exe&use_mirror=internap
or alternatively: http://www.download.com/Inkscape/3640-2189_4-10527269.html
what I like about it is there is a tumbdrive version that will work directly off your thumb drive, so if your out and about and have the compelling uncontrollable urge to do a bit of designing... well just wip out your Thumb drive and away you go here is the link to that as well. http://www.pendriveapps.com/2007/04/12/inkscape-portable-vector-graphics-editor/

I have been looking at a program called smart vecto pro, but have not found anyone else who uses it with corel. If anyone knows of this product please let me know.

I am glad to see Inkscape getting the reconition for the TRACING quality that
it is producing.
It makes me feel good knowing that FREE doesn't have to be a DIRTY WORD.
It should open the eyes of people that feels that if you don't pay $25 to $50
for a font or grafic file or $500.00 to $5,000.00 for a software that you can't
do a good job.
I have been cutting Vinyl since the early 1990s on the AMIGA and have have paid less than $1000.00 for all my software.
