Thanks guys. Then I need to know of a program that will convert the files to something that Master Cam will read in. I will check out Coral X3 out, but if you can recomment any other that would be great.

you have to understand that if you just vectorize an image you have to format for dxf. Corel draw will let you save as .DXF and .DWG. Also you can outline and trace. Which is sometimes a better type file to work with than a vectored image

If your running Mastercam x there is a chook called rast2vec.
Seems to work ok, have made a few logos with it.
If you don't have it I can email it to ya, should be there though.
Just click on settings, run user application, rast2vec.
Hope it helps
