    Is there a updated list of cutters that signblazer will work with? 
    I have used it since 2007 and gave 11k designed in SB format wanting to upgrade to a new cutter with more downforce to cut thicker material and not wanting to have to manually transform all 11K into a universal format

    I am in this boat ... converting over 10K SB files in 1 by 1 into EPS format UGG but the the new version does work on windows 10 However the issue I am having is I am using Corel Draw now and need to figure out how to see the thumbnails to import. I have them numbered  butI am a visual confirmation person and I HATE just seeing the Corel logo ... it's all a huge learning process =) Life is good!!

    SB was abandoned over a decade ago (creator passed away). As I'm sure you're aware that time span in the tech world might as well be ancient history. I believe you can get the "hacked" version of SB running on windows 10 but I don't think it has all of the features unlocked. You're two options are to reformat the computer and put windows 7 or older on it, or give up on SB and get a modern program. And no, there is no way to do a batch convert of your SB files to something a different program can open.

    OK sooo I know I am dumb to this ... I have transferred some to EPS format and tried to import them Ito my Corel draw and I cant see them as thumbnail pictures only the Corel log the thing... I have each numbers  which is no problem to use that , however seeing it sometimes is better and easy for me. any suggestions of input here.

    I'd also suggest you know that SB is not going to work at some point so save your files in eps formats so that in the future you can open them with something else.

    If you do have to switch to a new program, you may have 10,000 designs, but how often do you recut them? Just keep SB around to open and covert the files as you need them.

    I hope I can retire before " it won't work" I have it downloaded on every computer I own... in the event one goes... but have begun the process  the process of converting each one into also an EPS format for safe keeping... I would rather have my eye teeth pulled out with a jack hammer lol but it is what it is.

    I am looking for input. I have been using Signblazer. for 13 yrs with no issues, LOVE IT! We have 5 CE5000's and all my files are designed in SB format.. Does anyone know if Signblazer is compatible with the newest Graphtec cutters as I would love to buy a newer one just to upgrade, but do not want to have to transform over 10,000 SB cut files to EPS to transfer to a different design program. If anyone knows  and has the settings  Please let me know also if you have a graphtec new version and use Signblazer I would like to send a piece of the material we cut 5 MIL mylar and a 7 mil  to do a test run to insure it will cut our product. It is a dense material so downforce has to be pretty good for the 7 mil

     thanks

    ok first off ~ I am kinda new at this ...  design/ software use. I have a graphtec CE5000... had it about 2 yrs and have about 2000 files I have designed with Signblazer elements  which  you have to have an access code for .. they no longer exist~ my question is this. Is ther another program that  I could use my SBD files with and not have to turn them into EPS files and import them. Is there another signblazer program that doesnt require an access code? I am kinda desperate for help , as they cutter is installed on a 100 yr old computer ... lol  and afraid long term it may need to be replaced. and would hat to know all that work was lost and not usable...If i have to go to a new software.. any ideas on a stand alone designing one as I know not the first thing about coreldraw and how to use all that mess.. I know I sound really stupid , but all i have ever used is the signblazer elements... i know really elementary, but fit the need at the time~ I have been told I have to have all the files turned into EPS andhaveto buy like flexi sign ( expensive version) bla bla bla.. anyways I need some help :(

    Thanks Y'all
