Sign Blazer cutting from AI file...How?

How do I import a ready to cut file from AI? Also how do I size it? Thanks

You need to convert that AI file to an eps level 8 file. Once you have it in SB you can size it to whatever you need.

Ok I saved it as an 8 eps file. In sign blazer I'm not sure whether to open or import a file and it shows all these different folders in the box on the right. Where do I go to be able to see my folders?

What I did was create a folder on my desktop called "4 Sign Blazer".  I save all my .ai files to version 3 and save to that folder.  Once in Sign Blazer, I import the file do what I have to do and save it through Sign Blazer.  It automatically saves it into a .sbd file.  That's how I do it and I have no problems.  Also if needed I use the Full Postscript option.  Hope this helps you out.
