![]() ![]() ![]() I absolutely don't want to have to spend many hours over many years plucking away on that thing or one similar when I have my beautiful mac sitting there. I have a laptop with windows 7 although it is suspect and runs slow and I rarely use it for anything important. That is about the best comparison that I can come up with of where I sit. Think of it in this way, You want the newest hottest program on the market that is purported to be the do-all end-all you could ever own (this is Wilcom) however it only runs on a Linux based format so you will be having to set up and learn Linux in order to use it. In short I don't really want to have to learn a complete new program that would also require me to purchase and maintain another computer if I can avoid it. The vectorization and line drawing capabilities of AI would make child's play of most of that part of the process for a guy like me who does that all the time in AI. Conversely it would be foolish for someone unfamiliar with AI to attempt to review this plug-in due to the extreme nature of learning AI (often taking years of itself to master) as they would just be frustrated out of their minds with the AI methods of operation. I don't want something that is just a bunch of automated tools and not fully capable of all the things you pro's do with the dedicated programs. I plan to spend the next several years learning to digitize and I would prefer to do it on my mac and with a program that in the end will have ALL the same capabilities of the venerated Wilcom program. I am finding this to be a tall order as no review I have read seems to meet this criteria. I am hoping that someone who is a skilled digitizer who uses Wilcom or perhaps a similar well known mainstay program AND who is also versed in Adobe Illustrator well enough to not be hampered by it's well documented steep learning curve that has evaluated the i2 plug-in. I'm afraid that with my lack of skills and knowledge in digitizing I will not know enough at this point to recognize key missing elements that I would want to have in a program. I am not skilled at digitizing enough to feel comfortable throwing away 200 clams just to test drive the program. HOWEVER there is no good way to demo the program without dropping a minimum of $200 on their 1 month demo. I prefer to use a mac and the i2 plug-in appears on the surface to be the ticket for those of us in my situation. I am an experienced AI user but am just a fledgling at learning to digitize for embroidery. I am starting a new thread in hopes of attracting an answer specific to the Embroidery i2 plug-in for Adobe Illustrator. ![]()
