Advice on scanner to plasma PLEASE

Hello all,
I haven't been on for a while but I have just ran into a problem. I recently purchased a C&G Systems Plasma/Torch table with a Burny 1250+ controller. I am using Fastcam software with Fastnest. I have the desktop linked to the table with RS232. I also have the ability to transfer the program on a floppy disc. I have been doing fine drawing with the fastcam for any geometric shapes that I need to cut but now I need to be able to scan a picture or part and get it turned into a DXF file.
I do have Bobcad V21 with Bobnest v3.0 and BobART PRO-X. I have had it for a while but I haven't done anything with it. It does have a post processor library that lists the 1250 Burny.
I also have Corel Draw X3. This is also a program that I have had for some time and have done nothing with. I also have purchased Sheetcam and Mach3 although I don't have any idea where they are so I am sure I will have to buy them over. I purchased all of this about 2-1/2 years ago when I started building a plasma table. The table got put on the back burner and everything has just sat still. Now that I have purchased the C&G I really need to get up to speed with this stuff.
I really have no idea what software will be better to use for what I am needing to do or for that matter how to use it. If anyone has any insight or advice it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Chris

P.S.
If there is any other software or equipment out there that will simplify this project, I am interested in any suggestions. I am willing to buy whatever it takes to get this thing going.
Thanks, Chris

Bobart pro does loads for vectorizing it really counts on what you need to do with it. I don't use it here so I can't be of too much help.

You should also be able to create the dxf files using Corel. You can then use them in which ever program you are comfortable with.
