I use Vector Aspires own tracing option. So you import the PDF and Aspire identifies the vectors and then plots them. I then select each like and make a path. Then I apply the cutting plan to the lines. Aspire can then export the gcode which I use onm the X-Carve.

Would it be useful if I made a video up showing the process?
