These files are for the Techsoft Craft Robo machine but can also be used for any standard vinyl cutter in schools.

The files have been created with techsoft 2D design but you should be able to import the file into Corel Draw if you hunt around for a converter or know someone who can read the files and output the wmf version (If you know what that is)

These films are a mixture of wmf (Windows standard films) and Flash movies depending on the information being shown. You can get the free Flash player, if you do not already have it built into your browser.
