Logic Trace System by The Logic Group
Logic Group is committed to serving our current Logic Trace customers who have GTCO - Calcomp tracing boards. Logic Group is also testing and developing new tracing devices that we will roll out over the next year. First boards will be smaller options manufactured by a variety of companies. The last will be products we're designing and manufacturing by The Logic Group.

With the Logic Trace System, simply place a part or pattern on the board, start the Logic Trace Software, trace the outline with the pen stylus or cursor, and save the file. No more measuring, no more spending hours in a CAD program, no more size and vector conversion issues of a photograph.
Everything you need is included the USB connector for computer, universal 110-240 power supply and international plugs. All you need is a Windows or Mac computer and a place to put the board.
The software is available on Windows 10/11 and Apple Mac with M-chip. The Logic Trace Software is easy to use and easy to learn. Tracing a part or pattern can be done by freehand drawing, lines, arcs, curve fitting through points and circles. Add any inside holes and save the vector file as a DXF, SVG, or PDF.
The software commands can be moved to a cellphone or tablet and placed on the tracing board for easy use.
The software is available in many languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Hindi, Turkish, Italian, Greek, Korean, Japanese
The pen stylus provides an elegant way to trace along the edge of a part. The pen sends a stream of data to the software for tracing or single points for defining lines, arcs, curves, and spline curve fit shapes.

Inside the tracing board is a grid of wires going across and up and down. The pen stylus or cursor generates a magnetic field that is sensed by the board. When the pen or cursor is within an inch of the board, the board knows exactly its location. Push a button on the pen or cursor and a very accurate XY point is sent from the board to the computer. The Logic Trace software then turns all the points into an outline and accurate vector file.
Wood, metal, paper, cloth, plastic, glass, steel, stainless steel, acrylic, cardboard, fabric, leather, stone, anything
The pen stylus and cursor is recognized almost an inch (2 cm) above the board without any loss in accuracy. Trace patterns through paper, cardboard, plastic, plywood without needing to cut the outline.
Almost a third of our customers are metal fabrication shops. Some metals interfere with the magnetic field of the pen stylus. The outline of the metal part can typically be traced. It is the inside holes that cause problems. In this case place a piece of paper under the part, trace the outside, mark the holes onto the paper (a misting bottle works well), lift the part and trace the holes. Placing a quarter inch plastic sheet under the metal allows more of the magnetic field of the pen reach the board and works well.
Several tracing methods are included in the software to make tracing easy and accurate.
Tracing and Curves - freehand drawing, whatever is drawn is recorded
Lines - Click the starting and ending points of the line
Arcs - Click the start, middle, and end of arc
Curves with points - digitize a curve as a series of points with the software connecting the points with a Bezier smooth curve
Circles - Define circles by either clicking any 3 points on the circle or by clicking the center point and inputting the diameter
To make the tracing easier, the software command window can be moved from the computer screen to a cellphone or tablet which can be placed on the tracing board. Simply click buttons on the cellphone or tablet without going back to the computer. This is especially useful when using large boards or the Jumbo multiple boards.

The Logic Trace Software also has the ability to load an image file or photo, set a scale, and trace the outline using the computer mouse. The same tracing methods are used - tracing, lines, arcs, curves through points and circles. Trace the outline with the mouse and save a scaled DXF, SVG, or PDF vector file. The tracing process is very similar to tracing the pattern on the tracing board except using the mouse and the computer screen.
Also the files can be loaded into any cad or design program including Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, Inkscape, and more
The Logic Trace Software can also be used for tracing apparel patterns. Trace outlines, sew lines, notches, drill holes, and grain lines.
Save the traced outlines as DXF-ASTM, DXF-AAMA, DXF, PDF, SVG files. Then load the files into any apparel software including Gerber, Lectra, Optitex, Pad System, Tukatek, Clo3D, TukaCad, Bronzwear, Marvelous Designer, Pattern Smith, Smart Designer, Tailornova and more
