The Vector Art™ series has several... however it's just as easy to create your own after being inspired by seeing others.

Thanks Steve.. I let dad look at those... he is wanting me to make a sign for his church.. out of mdo... Those at vector art are nice but I can not convert them to a line vector that I can just cut the profile... The youth group is going to paint it... i just need to cut it our of mdo... what they want has like a oval in the middle at the top with the top of the oval removed... I know there must be someplace to purchase a whole series of sign outlines.

No... I haven't used Corel since version 3 .dxf or .crv works for me.

Gene,
If you can draw it in Corel, simply draw half of it and do a "Flip Copy." That will give you your symmetrical shape.

Eugene, you can use any of those 3d signs that you have and make an outline SUPER easy.
Just import it into your project, select it, hit the modeling tab, and click the button that says "create vector boundary from selected component".
That will give you the outline of the sign you're after, then just delete the model and that outline will stay. You can make a profile toolpath and bang, done.

Scott did not know that. Just drew it in corel exported it and sent it to steve to look at.. Ron that is sort of what I did... My dad and wife both say I am to hard and picky on myself...when I am designing or making items... I have thrown things away only to have one or both of them get it out and ask me what is wrong with it.
I am retired military, and I am a stickler to rules and quality..
quality is more important to me the quanity....

Gene,
I know what you mean - I'm sure we are all our own worst critics
I've done the same, and had them retrieved - sometimes, that makes them a free gift for whoever drags it out of the scrap bin...
