jdubbya 3 Posted February 18, 2013 HT55 works like a champ for 631. I like that bug, did you vectorize it, or is it from a pack? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petroman2012 168 Posted February 18, 2013 VECTOR victor! That SCAL is the cats butt and I am scronging dimes and pennies to get me another LP II, as I used to hear it on TV" Simply Marvelous"...Some cuts are a real task to weed but no pain-no gain...I am giving my wife the R-31's they are TI-99-4A 's compared to a REAL IBM for the cost mind you...I am beside myself when it comes to the LP II and the s/ware, I still use Corel(not as much) and CS2-3 butI wished someone had a Dummy book on SCAL or a cheat-sheet cause whoever puts it out will have hot dogs for along time, not a best seller but for those who use it might pay homage to it....My BIG volks is nothing like the smaller one, alot more detain so it will take me more than 15mins to weed it but it will look good....If you cant tell I LOVE this stuff or until I get bored with simple designs and find something to tax the brain....

Sidelinemgr 4 Posted February 19, 2013 C an we get an EPS of these ,would love to have a copy of them if you would like to share . Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petroman2012 168 Posted February 19, 2013 Fine with me..Only issue I see is that many of yall's EPS is noded so to speak and I am using Illustrator CS3, now I know that means little to some but I have always worked under Photoshop, then went to Illustrator when I got my 1st cutter which came with R-31, lacking in vector conversatin, so bought Corel x6, happy with Raster to vector but tracing has been an issue.....Soooooooooooooo I will convert to illustrator but an earlier version or convert under Corel, what works for yall..I dont mean to be ignorant but I usually clean and create a layer in Photoshop, enlarge my sketch pad, go to either Illustrator or Corel to Rastor to vector and so on...So again what works for yall?

OWJones 1,981 Posted February 19, 2013 From within either Corel Draw or Illustrator you can save/export the vectors as .EPS files. Illustrator: From the File menu select Save (or Save As). Find the drop down box in the Save dialog labeled as "Save as type" and select "Illustrator EPS (*.EPS)" as the file type. Click Save Corel Draw From the File menu select Export Find the drop down box labeled as "Save as type" and select "EPS - Encapsulated Post Script" Click Export Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
