  Multiple masks in Flexisign 8.1, advice please?

  Posted by Stephen Thompson on 12 June 2014 at 21:54

  Hello. I am new and this is my 1st post 🙂

  I often import Illustrator layouts into my Flexi 8.1.

  After ungrouping all, I have to select the art and right click and go to the bottom to Unmask. I have to do this many many time to remove the masks. The mask looks to be the Illustrator art board area. Is there any way to delete all the masks at once, or save the Illustrator file differently?

  Here are a few screen shots:

  Thanks in advance.

  I THINK but am not sure but have you tried saving as an EPS before importing to flexi? I’m sure i had the same problem and this cured it

  Thanks Ewan for the fast reply, I tried as eps (various versions) and larger files won’t import at all, but .ai always import, but with the multiple masks 🙁

  Ive not found a way other than to drag select at one edge and hope it picks up all of the unwanted masks.

  That what I do now, but to individually delete many mask one at a time is very slow.
