MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted August 8, 2014 You must save the vector file to your computer,like documents, then import the vector file, from where you saved the file to....like documents. And the vector file should be an older .eps file like version 8, because Signblazer has not been updated for years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duke 12 Posted August 8, 2014 I tried that but no go, so is there any way I can import direct to vector cut, from inkscape? I have tried, but nothing comes up in inkscape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duke 12 Posted August 8, 2014 I bought my P-CUT 630 just b4 Jerry passed away, and never got compensated with any other cutting software. So I am stuck with SB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted August 9, 2014 I got mine just before he passed too but somehow I don't think Jerry will be compensating us anytime soon. I now use corel and cut from flexi but I've heard a lot of good things about vinyl master software Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted August 9, 2014 I bought my P-CUT 630 just b4 Jerry passed away, and never got compensated with any other cutting software. So I am stuck with SB. Your not stuck,,,you can purchase other cutting software that is compatible with your Pcut... Flexistarter 10 can be had for under $130. On EBAY...That is all that I have used for 7 years...Flexistarter 8.6. Why would you be compensated? You got the software. Other cutting software you have to purchase for upgrades. They don't give it to you FREE. Jerry's biz closed when he passed away. Many new members on here still use Signblazer. because it's FREE. Maybe post your file. it it's not a copyright... Inkscape only imports certain formats like svg.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr300s 1,272 Posted August 9, 2014 Have you tried to copy & paste it from inkscape? Highlight it in inkscape go to edit copy then open Sign Blazer and see if you can go to edit and clipboard paste and see if that will work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

duke 12 Posted August 9, 2014 Same result as cut and paste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted August 9, 2014 Same result as cut and paste. Maybe you could describe what you are doing, from Cad, with this file, or show some screenshots... By the way, have you ever used these files in Signblazer before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duke 12 Posted August 9, 2014 You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community. This is one I have cut b4, I rastered and vectorised it, sent it to vector cut ok, but it won't cut. I tried another from the same period as this, and it cut ok. FYI, I am using pen,not blade. hmmm!! "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community." can't copy and paste pics.

MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted August 9, 2014 Some files cannot be posted here, because they belong to a certain program... Like FS is a Flexi file, etc only Signblazer and common files like eps ai, jpeg etc files can be on this forum , This forum was not created to accept every file format there is. Just from reading a little bit it looks like cad files are dwg or dxf files What file format are your files? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,626 Posted August 11, 2014 I tried that but no go, so is there any way I can import direct to vector cut, from inkscape? I have tried, but nothing comes up in inkscape. Did you try opening it, or importing it. They are not the same thing in SignBlazer. SB can only "open" SB files but it can "import" ai, eps, and a few others I think.
