If you do not have a Windows print driver for the plotter, but it still uses a serial connection, and you use eith COM1 or COM2. Camm-1 Pro Cutting problems.

Click to expand.Scanvec was the original developer of CasMate. They bought out Amiable Technologies a while back who created FlexiSign. The new company, Scanvec-Amiable International now offers only FlexiSign which, as mentioned does have a workspace that emulates the old CasMate product. Historical note: The only reason CasMate ever came to market was the bankruptcy of a US company that was supposed to bring their technology to market under a license for it.

General udisk usb device driver. The original product from Scanvec was the first genuinely good autotracing program. After the bankruptcy, Scanvec simply built other modules around the autotracing until they had a full package and named it CasMate. I was such a casmate addict that I went for a nice crossgrade price to pick up a copy of Flexi Sign Pro. But then I left it gathering dust on the shelf for years afterwords & still just used casmate. Fred had to encourage me to discover what a good program it was when I'd make that confession over the years.

I finally made the switch. I wouldn't call it seamless. But Flexi comes with the same fonts that were used on my previous 8 years worth of Casmate files, and it can open those old files. Which was valuable at first, though not so often anymore. Download auden age of anxiety pdf free. I Went from Casmate to Inspire to Flexi, although I run Flexi on several systems I still do most of my basic layouts in Inspire, after using Inspire for quite some time I got very efficent with it, especially with path editing. Being a one man shop dosent leave a lot of time to master new software but I do find many uses for Flexi such as Running my PC-600 and applying contour cuts to files for the Versacamm (much easier for me than doing it in Corel or Illustrator). I actually wouldn't mind locating a copy of Inspire XP but havn't come across it anywhere.

Anybody else still find the simplicity of Inspire to be more efficent for them as well?

I am much faster designing with Inspire than stumbling through Flexi and would like to get Inspire onto an XP system but I've heard that it dosen't work correctly on XP. I actually have Inspire & Flexi running on a Windows 98 system both using the same serial key (Inspire key). It was when Scanvec & Amiable first merged and they allowed me to upgrade to Flexi for a couple hundred bucks due to the instability of Inspire, they told me to just to use the old Inspire key for Flexi, works with both programs. Speaking of keys I have an interesting story I'll share. When I built my first XP system (when XP was first released) I purchased a second site license for Flexi (basically $1,500 for a USB key) which I believe was manufactured by Aladdin.

The computer acted very strange, would boot into system bios set-up sayin that the 'system hung due to an improper cpu speed setting'. This problem baffled my computer tech that built the system, as well as the folks at AMD, ASUS and several computer service centers here in Sacramento. The best part is that in the 18 month diagnostic period of what the problem might be there occured 2 fried processors and 3 mother boards and still noone could figure out the problem until one day I just unplugged the key and presto, it worked fine. Turns out Aladdin released the new USB keys with a defective driver that would load into the system bios chip set and cause all kinds of havoc, no apology or compensation from SAI, was simply told to go to Aladdin's site and download the corrected driver.
