I am using Mach2 from 2004-05. It is the trial version. I am interested now in using it commercially and getting the licensed version to make pantographs in aluminum plate from a customer provided image, if this is possible. Can some kind soul show me some examples of what is possible? I have seen examples on the web of intricate patterns having been turned into carved wood, acrylic aluminum, etc. Also I am curious how the software deals with different colors. Does it convert color to tool depth? Thanks in advance for any help!

Mach wont do that, it is a controller, LazyCAM that comes with Mach possibly can, not 100% sure though.
BTW get Mach3 downloaded, its much better than Mach2.

The software I am running has a greyed-out menu option for importing an image file. I assumed that it was because I have a demo version that the option is greyed-out. I can't find any documentation on this though.

Mach used to import bitmaps etc but it is now LazyCAM that does it.

What do you mean 'pantographs' Tiger?. Is it like Vectrics picture cutting software? Not sure what you are trying to make.
