Leslie,
Welcome aboard. You will find us a friendly family willing to help.....
It seems you have the answers already about engrave pro. Like Harvey, I have never heard of it. ( Are you possibly referring to Engrave Lab? ) Anyway, Corel is pretty much the standard and does darn near everything you need done with your laser.
Good luck and welcome aboard.

Looks like an "add on" for Corel users:

And, one that doesn't do anything that X3 does already. I know the dreaded "center justified text" is a real pain, but do you need a program to do it for you???
Mail merge works great on X3 as well. My guess is that anyone using X3 will not see much value in that program.
Check Roy B's tutorial if you want to see just how easy mail merge is in X3.

You can also create a macro in Corel to do the same thing.

leslieboy2,
Especially if you are engraving with a Xenetech, you'll love the features of EngravePro. It was written by an ex Xenetech programmer and therefore "handles" extremely similar to Xenetech software. It handles variables in a more intuitive, automatic method condensing long lines to fit within assigned margins, automatically creates grid cut out lines and the result is autonomous plates that can be modified before sending to laser. Several other significant advantages if you can over come the price; price, however, I consider to be a steal compared to the better known "NameDropper" from Smart Designs.
Other posers are correct, however, we can do almost all of this in later versions of Corel with a bit more work.

Thanks Roy I want to say thanks for your honest comments. ENgravePro will come with the machine as I am getting it from another firm that has used it for a short time. From what I have seen of it , it has a face print of some of the things that are in the Xenetech software. We have used the Xentech system for years and in the last 3/4 years we have used the viper conversion. Again thanks. By the way I wish I had found this website years ago it would have saved time and money.

Wlome aboard Leslie :-)
You will find there is absolutely nothing that will not be attempted to be answered on this forum.
We have enormous amount of resorces to call upon, from extraordinary Pantograph operators, thru to large bed router operators and every aspect in between- embroiderers-sublimators- Industry reps and Gurus-and lots of amazing and friendly people.
We have learnt all the way from over here in Australia, that EE is the most important investment in an Engraving business one can make.
Friends, advice, help....all add up to a brilliant part of any Engravers business.
regards
Peter and Kathy :-)
(PS) dont forget to fill in your info details. B-)
