Hi Sandy Jo,

Since you are the one person on the boards that has had her hands on multiple rhinestone programs, I'm hoping you can answer a question for me.
Currently I'm using Roland R-Wear Studio. It's a decent program and I can manage quite well with it. But I've seen and heard what other programs can do (zebra print, for example!) and while I know I can duplicate that in R-Wear, I'm thinking I'm working harder not smarter.

My biggest problem is the machines I have. I have the GX-24 vinyl cutter and the Roland EGX-350 engraver.
I really really really like engraving my templates. The sturdy mdf type material allows the stones to be placed so much closer together than cutting on a vinyl cutter. Plus the GX-24 doesn't cut sandblast material well at all.

Do you know if there is a way to use a designing program that is more user friendly and has more functionality but still be able to "cut" (engrave) the template on the Roland engraver?

Thanks for any help!
Julie

Julie...I am not Sandy  Jo but have just about the same programs as she does plus I do have the Roland GX350 with R-Wear. R wear is somewhat limiting so I use it mostly for the SFEdit feature and  designs often run larger than 9x12. I am enroute to ISS Long Beach but think you can bring in a design in eps format and then cut, have you tried that. If no one else has the program and answer, I will do check on Monday and let you inow

Thanks Charles! I couldn't remember who it was that had R-Wear and sure enough it's you! 
I'd so appreciate you checking to see if a design created in another program can be cut on the EGX-350. That would make my day! Meanwhile, I'll see if I can download a trial version of a program and try it myself.

Thanks a bunch!!!
