lawman12 3 Posted December 10, 2012 Im trying to see if these can be vectored, so I can blast these for gifts for my wifes instructors, she is graduating on the 20th and I would like to get these done before then so she can take them back with her next week. I have tried inkscape and do not fully understand how to work the program Thanks for any help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coaster36 327 Posted December 10, 2012 Sure they can be done. But they are going to be a lot of work. I dont think anyone is going to knock them out for free. Your best bet is to hire a vector company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jay2703 704 Posted December 10, 2012 Here's my 10 minute job on one of them with SignBlazer. I used Polyline to trace the design then outlined it. Added a font that was close. Cobra.EPS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawman12 3 Posted December 11, 2012 I saved it as an eps and now it wont open in inkscape Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted December 11, 2012 Inkscape does not import .eps files. You are given the option of saving an .eps file or both an eps file and svg file when you save the file. It is always a good idea to save both files, so that you can import the svg file back into inkcape, for edits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted December 11, 2012 ok thanks I had no problem, cutting away those dots in inkscape.org... Import your svg file.... Ungroup it. Select VIEW>; Display Mode>; Outline>; and select the dots and delete them.. That file needs a lot of clean up also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
