Anyone got 5 mins???

Phil, Corel 3x is suppose to be pretty good at vectorising from what I have read on the boards so buying Signlab or Flexi probably won’t help much at all, you just need a bit more practice I would imagine.

Done a quickie for ya Phil, might need a little tidy up.

eh. Not had this problem before….

Import into Corel Draw (v12) and it doesnt seem to be vectored, just bitmapped. Any thoughts anyone, or am I being a bit slow today 🙄

[Lorraine Clinch]

Hi Phil, converted to ai for you, might help?

i’d use corel 12, can’t see anything there that would not be done in corel, but could in signlab, what tools were you using ? should be a fairly quick job,

Better off not using the vectorising tools whatever program you have Phil. IMO you are better off building up the image manually. Attached my go anyway…..

Usually best using the PS, PRN, EPS filter when importing EPS files into Corel.

…CDR file in case you still have problems with the other formats…

Not sure what went wrong tbh. I had redrawn it as I would normally, but then when I export it to PLT (HPGL) file for my cutter it came out all wrong. Not sure why…. it usually works ok.

One thing to say:

"I LOVE YOU GUYS, THANKS"
:thanks2:

Bezier tool and shapes that I then coverted to curves and chopped bits out. It seems that when I did the chopping using that Virtual Segment Delete tool, it has taken away some of the bits that I can still see in corel but not when I export as PLT. Strange.

Brian, where is the EPS filter, am I missing something, searched the help index but cannot find?

Chris, when you import something, when it comes to the file list, look in the pull down menu for ‘file types’ and the bottom of the screen, and you’ll see the option there.
