WinPC Sign and Inkscape HELP!!

Recommended Posts

After I get done with tracing an image and save it as a eps. file I try to open it with Win PC Sign and it looks like a grey box.... any suggestions? Thank You!!

I posted the eps. file that I traced.

will this work for you? i imported your image into illustrator then saved it as an eps. i then imported that file into signblazer, fixed a couple of weird nodes and exported it as a jpeg and eps.

yes, as a never ending trial version. it is a full working basic version that will run most of uscutters plotters. and it is a great piece of software.

I use winpc too and I cant open anything from inkscape, I still use it but then save it as a eps, then have to open in corel draw and save that as a eps, then I can open the one from corel to cut with winpc. its a pain but it works for me

Most (99%) of eps files either have to be opened and resaved in Corel(EPS)

or Illustrator(AI8) to be imported into WinPCsign.

I think it`s because WinPCsign is a bit behind the times.

I do all my designing and rework in WinPCsign only because

it`s faster for me.

I have been using WinPCsign for about 6 yrs now.

i tryed everything to vectorize a project correctly, and ended up doing it with winpcsign pro and it finally turned out right, give the vectorization a chance next time. Just my two cents....

Hi Guy

Try saving it from Inkscape in Postscript .ps then load it into GSview and save as DXF cad format and then try to load inti Win PC as .dxf file.

I dont know if this will work but think it might.
