Click to expand.Scanvec was the original developer of CasMate. They bought out Amiable Technologies a while back who created FlexiSign. Windows loader 231 download. 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. 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. 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.
