Customizing with Sign Blazers

[rpostlewait 0]

I am new to this forum and using sign blazer and the vinyl cutter. i have a PCcut and use sign blazers. I have some art work in EPS format and I would like to modify them (add names) but I am unable to do this. Any suggestions?

Thanks

You can import most .eps files to SignBlazer. Once imported you can modify them using the Node Edit tool.

Can you post one of the files you are trying to convert?

Click on "Additional Options" and browse to the file. Must be less than 500KB

1. Open SignBlazer, File + Import.

2. Browse to where your file is and select it. Click OK.

3. Select the "Use Postscript Printer" option.

Note: All of your graphic doesn't show up on mine but it is there. If you go to View and select Outline/Wireframe you will be able to see it all. Now go back and uncheck this option. 

4. Edit + Select All.

5. Arrange + Combine

Now you can add your text:

1. Select the text function

2. Select the font you like and an appropriate size

3. Click on the work area to locate your text (you can move, resize and edit later too)

4. Type your text

That is all there is to it.
