After using the software on hand I am finding short falls in the use of each program. MS PAint, Part Wizard & Turbo CAd are a few I own. I am looking for a program that will allow me to create a sign with text and art then print it for customer approval and make a cutting file. Art may be from a sketch or an imorted file.

The process I now use is to take the customers idea from a sketch scan it into Paint turn it into a .bmp file , import it to Turbo cad, trace the import as a layer, save the layer as a DXF file import to Part Wizard and Make a cut.

To show the customer the scale of the sign and color I have to import to Phot Shop 5 apply colors and print, scan and import to Paint, save as a .bmp and send via email.

Can anyone tell me software options or shortcuts?
