Sure Cuts A Lot Pro not working w/ EPS/vectors?

[Josh623 0]

On the site here it says one of the features is:

 

"Import various file formats, including SVG, PDF, EPS, AI, WPC"

 

So why won't it let me trace an .eps file? I did a little bit of reading... looks like I will have to convert the eps file in inkscape to svg or something... any suggestions? 

[signyouup 178]

You don't have to trace an EPS, it's already a vector file.

[jaybyrd 3,770]

Eps does NOT mean for certain it's a vector file. It will trace jpg and a few other true raster filetypes.

So if I have an image like this and just want to pull out one shade of gray and print, what are your suggestions?

   That is a vector file...

Its hit and miss on what files SCALP will open. I have a ton of EPS files it wont open and a ton it will. Now I just do all my work in CorelDraw and use the plug in to send directly to scalp, then just cut.

Monkey, that's an interesting point you made. I have Adobe Illustrator... i think I will post in that area to figure out how to do this with AI so I don't have to buy another $500 program! Where did you get the plug in? do they make one for AI? Thanks for the input guys.

   Plug in info  is in the UScutter support

So I have this image I bought and this is not the only one, so I left the person good Feedback but told them unfortunately, I can't use most of their images so they asked me to upload one and they would try and help me. So I got a message back saying: I read this thread: forum.uscutter.com/index.php?/topic/46877-sure-cuts-a-lot-pro-not-workin... and he used CorelDraw and use the plug in to send directly to scalp, then just cut.

Here is the link of plug-in: www.uscuttersupport.com/kbpage.html#Vinyl_Cutting_Software_Installation_Use . But I've not gotten it to work at all.

I own 2 One I use now is MH721-MK2, which use's Sure cuts A Lot 3 Pro.  The other Is a PCut630 Which I've not used in awhile, I can use Signblazer with that one, but not the one I'm using now. 

[darcshadow 1,641]

Signblazer works with the MH, that was the default program for the MH up until about 5 or 6 years ago.

[haumana 1,227]

 

Is there a way for you to verify with SCALP that the plug-in actually works for your version of CorelDraw?

I can install the plug in and it their, but when I sent to SCALP, I get an error. I forget that Error, but it never sends it 

[haumana 1,227]

Installing it does not necessarily means that itʻs compatible. Have you checked with SCALP to see if your operating system, SCALP version, and CorelDraw version are compatible?

What kind of error are you getting, can you post a screen shot of the error?

Have a look at this. It has all four layers separated. Is this something you are intending to do? Open this file (either using open and import command) and have a look

By the way Mzkeeter said right, it is a vector file

I doubt youʻll get a response from the OP (Josh623), as his post was done in 2014.

[kainth.c.s 56]

No problem buddy, I forgot to check the date

@haumanaHere is the Error I get. Sorry been busy.

[haumana 1,227]

Have you reached out to SCALP, and what was their response?

What version of CD are you using?

No I haven't, I was told by someone that it would help me. I have ver: Sure Cuts A Lot 3 Pro,  Coreldraw ver: 2021. Scalp 3 I think. 

[darcshadow 1,641]

I googled that error message and found an old thread where it was suggested it was a problem with the plugin not compatible with Coreldraw. That may be the case here, your CorelDraw is too new. Contacting SCALP would most likely be your best bet.
