Cutting Curved Text with Illustrator/Graphtec CE5000

« on: August 11, 2009, 07:41:37 AM »

Hi guys. I'm in a jam here. I have a section of curved text I need to cut. I typed the text in an illustrator text box and then used the arc tool to curve it. Unfortuantely when I send it to cut, Cutting Master only sees it as a straight line of text.

HELP PLEASE! I need to cut this right away.

Any help would be great. Thanks

Dan

maybe try SAVE AS> and then import the design into your cutting software. Just a thought.

Have you converted it to curves, welded it, & looked at it in wireframe view?

Select your text, then select objects, then select expand. This will turn it into a path. Then it should cut.
