How do i install X5 Power Trace by itseld as a stand-alone application?
I've tried looking under 'custom' install but don't see an option!?
Some of you are asking, why Power Trace by itself
I use DRAWings embroidery Digitizing software, which interfaces nicley with X3.
At the moment DRAWings and X5 have compatability issues.
Thank you for your replies.
Sincerely
Peter

On most Intuos tablets from Wacom you can lift the drawing surface and slide in a paper, but my own experience is that it gives to many inaccuratee results. Maybe a Cintiq where the tablet is a screen it would work better, but I wouldnt like the paper to be to thick, gram-wise. It would had to be a bit transparant - in my view.
Thanks, fellows. I've spent the early part of the afternoon looking into the Wacom's and the latter playing with the B-spline tool. Looks like for tracing--in the traditional sense, not PowerTrace--using the Draw tools with a tablet could be a real timesaver. Probably the freehand tool, though, more often than B-spline for leaves with serrated edges.
Best, Ted
May I give my opinion? PowerTrace is a bluff. In all versions. Never acts like Corel says it could (or should) do. Except when the object to be converted is very well defined and marked contrasts. PowerTrace still needs to improve a lot because, for now, it is only a stopgap...
Of course, and well said Silvo.
I had alot of good luck with the old CorelTrace. The Powertrace dev team probably has a lot of time and money invested in their part of the program but it's just not working...Sorry, good attempt though.
