Krookz 10 Posted January 31, 2013 Hey guys. This is the 2nd time iv run across this in a few weeks time. 1st time I thought it was a fluke and moved on. When I save my vector in Inkscape as a .eps it appears to save fine. When I open it in Signblazer part of the image is cut off. This one below happens to be the right side, the first time it cut off the bottom half of the image. If I copy/paste the screwed up part in Inkscape, into a new doc and save as .eps. It opens correctly in Signblazer. If I copy/paste the entire vector into a new Inkscape doc... same thing. What am I missing here? I checked all the doc sizes and such that I could. I attached the svg and eps if anyone needs to see. Is there maybe a better method of getting files from Inkscape to SB? trd-sport.eps trd-sport.svg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Promise 38 Posted January 31, 2013 I have run into this "glitch" also. Haven't found an easy way to fix it. The missing piece is actually there just not showing up in signblazer. What I usually do is open the eps file in Illustrator, the missing piece always shows up and re-save it as an illustrator eps file. After that when I import into signblazer the missing piece reappears. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted January 31, 2013 Sometimes there are paths that are crossed or nodes on top of each other. In SignBlazer, look at it in Node Edit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krookz 10 Posted January 31, 2013 Im leaning towards another problem now. Opened the svg in AI and saved as an Illistrator 8 eps(Newest SB would open without blank screen). Got this in SB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coaster36 327 Posted January 31, 2013 Ive run into glitches with inkscape to signblazer every know and then. They way I fix it is to just start over as much as it might suck to start again. As much as I love inkscape, its freeware after all. Your going to get bugs. But hey youll probably do it quicker this time around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krookz 10 Posted March 19, 2014 Replying to this old post... issue is from groups in inkscape. Figured it out when testing files using .ps instead. Clear all groups; no problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheKid 29 Posted March 21, 2014 That is weird!! How did you import to SB? eps file? I tried .ps as well, same results There are two ways to save as SVG. There is a "Inkscape SVG" and "regular SVG". Try "regular". That's what I use in SCALP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
