Philaine 0 Posted June 10, 2022 Hi I've bought an used machine Liyu TC631 but the owner had lost the cutting software. Does someone know where I could get it, as the maker doesn't exist anymore. Thanks for your help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted June 11, 2022 Absolutely, your machine will run with SignBlazer. Set it up using Master/Liyu and that should be the ticket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philaine 0 Posted June 11, 2022 Thanks for your response. I've tried SignBlazer but.... I've had many problems when importing picture from Illustrator either .eps or .ai. I succeeded maybe when exporting in Illustrator 8 format... but the only thing that happened when trying to cut this picture is that ... an old file of the previous owner of the machine (which must be kept in internal memory?) has been cut ! This software cannot manage .svg format too. Too bad! Good point: your config advice worked at first time for connection ! Regards Philippe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted June 11, 2022 The maker of SignBlazer also does not exist anymore. Jerry Bonham is deceased, and the program was left as-is (abandonware) with whatever bugs or glitches existed at the time. Download Inkscape, and play around with that for your .eps work, and SBE should behave with those files. You got the machine to work, to cut, so my mission is done. You're welcome.

haumana 1,220 Posted June 13, 2022 The cutter is a very simple machine, and SBE works best with a very basic .eps file. If I'm exporting or saving in Illustrator, I will always have it save backwards to Illustrator 8, or an earlier version. Saving/exporting to any version newer than that become problematic for SBE.
