                   Special Marks on the end of each filename to indicate if the design is a silhouette, stencil, or other 1

                   piece design or not. Pictures below assume grey represents final material.




                   _ Underscore means the design is a pure silhouette with no holes. It has
                   one cut around the periphery and can be cut either into or out of one solid
                   piece of material.

                   = Equal Sign means the design is like a silhouette but it has interior holes.
                   The design can be cut out to form one solid piece but it cannot be cut into
                   one solid piece of material.

                   ~ Tilde Sign means the design is a copy of the above form, except narrow
                   internal holes are converted to open centerline paths forming single line
                   cuts. Enables plasma to cut the same design smaller.

                   # Pound Sign or ! Exclaimation preceeding either above symbol means
                   there are multiple disconnected primary objects in the scene where some
                   sort of connection is required to produce a one-piece design. Such as two
                   animals or two people that are not connected.

                   +Plus Sign or -Minus Sign means the design has multiple solid but
                   disconnected elements. The design can be cut into one solid piece of
                   material but it cannot be cut out as one solid piece.

                   Stencil Factor is irrelevant for vinyl cutting, engraving, and processes with backing material to hold loose pieces
                   in place. If none of the above marks are appended to the end of the filename, then the design is not one-piece.
                   Stencil Factor Marks only indicate one-piece geometrical qualities. They do not indicate whether the design itself
                   is actually compatible with any particular cutting process or any particular size of project.

                   Vector Formats: In Corel Draw use Corel CMX format. Always use non-DXF vector formats when possible.
                   DXF has segmented polylines. DXF# has polylines with arcs. Arcs run smoother, but some DXF software may
                   not recognize polylines with arcs correctly. GIF is for viewing only, is not a vector format, and is too small for
                   cutting purposes.
