[QuickTacBeta] QuickTacBeta Digest, Vol 2, Issue 1

[Lisa Yayla]

Hello,

Opps, think I found out what I did wrong. When saving the Quicktac file, I
just wrote the .sig as ending and did not choose it from the 2 file
options. So I guess in effect saved it as a .dxg.
Tried it again and shows on screen and embosses out.

Best,

Lisa
