what's wrong with this file?

Recommended Posts

I've uploaded the vector i made in adobe....can anyone tell me what is wrong with the file?  My cutter is trying to cut out everything red.....it just goes back and forth scraping the vinyl rather than cutting around the edges.  Thanks.

it appears to be a bitmap, needs to be a vector to be able to cut..

Actually it is a vector file but has been preparred using clipping masks and compound for the file, I opened it in Illustrator uncompounded, unmasked and deleted the extra boxes then filled the remaining vectors and downsaved it to eps version 9, it should be compatable with most current software now.

Thanks for the reply Kimon....what do i need to do differently in photoshop when i'm preparing the vector?  I

I first did a trace contour in photoshop, then used the pen tool to go over the trace contour.....afterwards I deleted the background which was the original trace contour and saved it as .eps....did i miss some steps or was i preparing it wrong?
