Importing 2D spline shapes 2004-01-23 - By Joshua Foster
Back
Just a thought, I never really liked Zoner Draw (I demoed vs. 3). I
would recommend checking out Corel Essentials, XaraX, CorelDraw 9,
Expression (if you can find it), or Canvas 8. The software listed is
quite a bit better in terms of features for drawing. Expression is cool
because it employes natural media with vector drawing.
