i am having trouble inmporting files into signblazer to be cut. i put them into .ai files. they i click import go to the flash drive select it. after that is when i am having a problem.
When you save your ai files you may need to set the compatibility level to Illustrator 8. SignBlazer support postscript level 2 not level 3.
You can also upload a sample file here and I'll check it out for you to let you know why it isn't loading.
i dont think i can change the compatiblity. i am using corel. i heard that you cant use corel on with the pcuts. i will beable to up load later tonight.
when i click imports it gives me 2 options to eather scan to something and i cant remeber the other one since it isn't infront of me. i have tried both and it juat doesn't do anything after i click on them.
I'm a newbee all around. Just bought a us cutter mh721. I'm trying to vectorize clip art to my signblazer program but have been having trouble getting it there. This being said, I downloaded Adobe Illustrator. Now it's saying (IN AI) the file cannot be read. I would appreciate any help that you can give me to get my vectorized clip art to import into SB. thanks...
I am having a similar issue with my uscutter mh781.... I can not see any files when I try to import ....I click import then navigate to the folder where I saved the file , but nothing shows up ...what I mean is I can open the folder and view the contents of the folder outside of signblazer but when I navigate to the folder from signblazer there are no files in the folder.....what gives?
yes..I made sure "all graphic files" was selected.....its a eps file which should be supported...I also tried pdf and ai files ..nothing works.....but I tried it on another pc and it works fine...so I think maybe the pc is no good.
nope I tried that also...nothing is working....I have a older laptop deticated to the cutter ......wont open any image other than the images I downloaded from the cd.
I installed signblazer on my new laptop and everything opens fine...so maybe its the older laptop...which doesnt make any sence to me...the laptop works fine for everything other than the uscutter / signblazer program
Are you looking to create cutlines or a cut outline from an imported vector image?
Export as an eps as stated, then:
Select Image, then Mode, and change to Monochrome.
From there you need to drag the bar to the left or right.
Adjust it until you have the cut lines that you are looking for.
Click OK. Then click Image again, then Vectorize, then OK.
You will now see a blue outline where it made the vector tracing.
Use the node editor (Edit, then Node Edit) to edit your vector lines now.
Click on what you do not want and press Del.
I hope this helps.
what is the point of all this when Illustrator is a vector graphic program anyways? i personally dont like signblazer because it has given me trouble ever since i loaded it. but its all i have so i have to make do. but when i do all these steps my vector art comes out looking like crap. my lines arent straight anymore and stuff gets messed up.
how do i import into signblazer
