piece design or not. Pictures below assume grey represents final material.

one cut around the periphery and can be cut either into or out of one solid
piece of material.

~ Tilde Sign means the design is a copy of the above form, except narrow
internal holes are converted to open centerline paths forming single line
cuts. Enables plasma to cut the same design smaller.

# Pound Sign or ! Exclaimation preceeding either above symbol means
there are multiple disconnected primary objects in the scene where some
sort of connection is required to produce a one-piece design. Such as two
animals or two people that are not connected.

Stencil Factor is irrelevant for vinyl cutting, engraving, and processes with backing material to hold loose pieces
in place. If none of the above marks are appended to the end of the filename, then the design is not one-piece.
Stencil Factor Marks only indicate one-piece geometrical qualities. They do not indicate whether the design itself
is actually compatible with any particular cutting process or any particular size of project.

Vector Formats: In Corel Draw use Corel CMX format. Always use non-DXF vector formats when possible.
DXF has segmented polylines. DXF# has polylines with arcs. Arcs run smoother, but some DXF software may
not recognize polylines with arcs correctly. GIF is for viewing only, is not a vector format, and is too small for
cutting purposes.
