vinylmotivations 143 Posted July 7, 2012 The images you're using are probably on .jpg or .bmp / .png files- They MUST be vector format images before they will export and cut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vectorization 1 Posted July 7, 2012 I just joined this forum, great stuff here. Do all sign software come with their own vectorization tools? I use illustrator so I am familiar with its vectorization tool "Live Trace" - what happens when the original bitmap doesn't lend itself to automated tracing and it requires manual redrawing? Is there an area in this website where I can offer my services? Jude Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
