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.
The most popular size board has an active area of 44x60" (110x150 cm), smaller boards and larger boards are available. The boards are available in either 0.01"/.254 or 0.005"/.127 accuracy.
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. The pen has 2 buttons on the side and a push down tip on the bottom. Available corded or cordless.
The cursor has a magnifying glass with a crosshair. Align the crosshair with the desired point to be traced and push a button. The cursor works well when tracing paper and cardboard patterns.
The buttons can be programmed to be different software commands. For example use the 0 button to trace, the 1 button to change to lines, 2 button for arcs and any command you desire.

There’s something magnetic about phrases that sound like they come from an underground myth: Blue Orchid Man, KDV, Boy S, Proveritrar. Taken together they read like the title of an offbeat novella, a cult electronic EP, or a whispered rumor in a city that only wakes at 3 a.m. Here’s an imaginative, exclusive-feeling exploration of that world — a short, atmospheric blog piece that blends character, scene, and a touch of mystery. The Character: Blue Orchid Man Blue Orchid Man is the sort of figure you only glimpse in peripheral vision: a tall silhouette beneath a neon that hums like a distant bee. He wears an orchid-blue overcoat that never seems to collect dust. People say he remembers songs you forgot and trades secret favors for impossible trades: a photograph of a stranger, a vintage cassette, the name of someone you once loved. He moves through alleys and stations like a living footnote to the city’s forgotten stories. The Code Names: KDV and Boy S KDV: three letters that people whisper when they don’t want to say the full story. Is it a syndicate, a studio, a lost album? In our tale KDV is an art-house collective that collects fragments of memory — field recordings, intercepted radio, voicemail confessions. They make little releases stamped with glitches and borrowed voices, and each one arrives wrapped in cryptic postcards. blue orchid man kdv boy s proveritrar exclusive
Boy S is younger, sharp-edged, an archivist with a taste for lo-fi heartbreak. Part message courier, part musician, he runs analogue equipment like a priest tending relics. Boy S can splice a city’s ambient sorrow into a four-minute pulse that feels personal to everyone who listens. He’s the one KDV sends out at night with a suitcase of tapes and a list of names. Proveritrar sounds like an instrument, and in this world that’s exactly what it is — equal parts scanner, diary, and lie detector. It hums with a low-frequency sincerity: when you speak into it, the device rearranges your words into small, undeniable truths. Musicians use it to harvest the texture of confession; poets use it to test whether a line is true enough. In the hands of KDV and Boy S, the Proveritrar becomes a collaborator, coaxing songs out of ambient noise and turning the unsaid into a chorus. An Exclusive Night: The Listening Session Imagine an abandoned printing house converted into a listening room. The walls are plastered with torn flyers and a single projector casts grainy footage of empty train platforms. A dozen folding chairs face a crate of vintage speakers. Blue Orchid Man arrives last, hands in pockets, and the room leans in. — End of exclusive
First comes a field recording — rain hitting corrugated metal, distant laughter, a siren pitched down like a cello. Then Boy S drops a drone under it, subtle as breath. The Proveritrar lights up, and through it slips a voice: an apology to a parent, a confession about a missed opportunity, a child humming a forgotten tune. KDV stitches these into a seam; the city outside feels as if it is holding its breath. People say he remembers songs you forgot and
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.

Most users will find the single boards large enough for their tracing needs. But some users will need large tracing systems especially in the glass, countertop, aviation, and marine industries.
The Logic Trace System has the ability to connect between 2 and 8 boards together for tracing very large patterns. The boards can be in one or two rows and even L shaped. The boards are calibrated so the software knows exactly how the boards are aligned.
For more information on the Jumbo, visit the Jumbo webpage.
A portable rollup is available but should only be used with the 16 button cursor and usually only for apparel pattern making
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.
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
Also the files can be loaded into any cad or design program including Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, Inkscape, and more
The boards are custom made for The Logic Group in Phoenix Arizona by GTCO Calcomp and usually are in stock. We ship to most countries.
