Guest gracewriter Posted May 27, 2008 I have several signshape graphis that when I try to weld including the fonts, as soon as I weld the fonts disappear. I"m getting really tired of combining them, makes weeding the fonts tedious because of those little extras it leaves behind. Can someone help with this? I'll post one of the files. weld.EPS weld.EPS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Terry Posted May 27, 2008 Not sure if I understand, but if you weld them the fonts would disappear, because you make it a part of the sign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest gracewriter Posted May 27, 2008 I don't have this problem with some of the sign shapes. It's really weird. On some I weld and they come out perfect. Others like this one the fonts disappear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Terry Posted May 27, 2008 Make them two different colors? Is this what you get when you weld it? Untitled.eps Untitled.eps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Terry Posted May 27, 2008 I think some work because it is K/O of sign, not a color text, two colors. It is just a single color sign K/O. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Terry Posted May 27, 2008 The borders on sign are not there, they are a cutout, the text and crown you added are a second layer to put on. Or send all colors at once and it would cut the text out as it does the border. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted May 27, 2008 Try a Combine instead of weld. It will cut the text out of the background. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest gracewriter Posted May 27, 2008 Thanks Jay. I've been using combine, just tired of weeding the fonts. Terry, I can't open the eps. can you send it jpeg? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest gracewriter Posted May 27, 2008 Why is signblazer so finicky and not let me just open an eps file from my desk top?! Never mind. I remember there's a trick to getting it to open but can't remember the trick at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted May 27, 2008 Try to weld just the font first, then do a combine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Terry Posted May 27, 2008 If it won't open in blazer... open in Illustrator and resave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Terry Posted May 27, 2008 Try this, you won't see the text... But it is there if you cut, or can view it in cut mode. Untitled.eps Untitled.eps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
