    Here is a cool site you can do online tracings of any image you want. I found a couple scroll saw patterns so I tried it out and it works great.
    You get two free tracings for free!

    That's a really cool online trial. Does it let you save the file after it is converted?

    The PC based version is $300...I'd rather get VCarve Pro for $599. It'll convert Raster to Vector and generate tool paths.....and lots of other stuff. :D

    Good point about Vcarve WZ I never thought of it like that :D

    Here's an example pic I made using vector magic. Saved as an EPS loaded into Illustrator then to Sketchup

    Don't know how I missed it but I had not heard of Vector Magic before. Nice program, now to save up some pennies. :D
