    .AI file import to Flexipro 8.1 - inside cuts don't show up.

    Thanks, Wildgoose, I'll try out your version. I can remove the stroke from my original file - I didn't notice if I left the stroke on or not. As an aside, I know lots of people who use Flexi, but create all their graphics in Illustrator. Xara Designer Pro 9 (the latest version of the software I use) is a ton easier to use, faster, and very little memory hogging than Illustrator, plus I use it for other things than just sign work - I much prefer it to Illustrator, and I am experienced using Illustrator. When not doing signs or other normal graphics work, I am a fantasy cartographer, that is I create maps for RPG game publishers. If you're at all interested in this sideline of mine, you can visit my G+ community to see what I do...

    .AI file import to Flexipro 8.1 - inside cuts don't show up.

    @mfatty500 - no, there's only black vinyl with the interior cut removed, there is no second color. These are truck door graphics and the vehicle is white, so I am placing cut letters of the outline only with the white of the truck showing through the cut out.
  4. Hello, I need help... I use Flexisign Pro 8.1, though I usually created my files in Xara Xtreme Pro 4 and export as .AI, to import to Flexisign Pro 8.1 - it usually works fine. I have a Graphtec CE8000-60 as my cutter. I have a logo design that has the letters cut as an interior with outlines outside of it (so there's inside and outside cut lines) - it shows up fine in Flexisign when I import it. However, when I send it to the cutter only the outside cutlines show up. I've tried to export the interior lines as a separate .AI file then place inside the other graphic, but that doesn't fix the problem. Below is a JPG of what the file looks like - and what I am shooting for to get cut. Also is a link to the .AI file in question. The .AI file is linked here. I appreciate any help you can provide.
