  • Having major problems with this file

    Posted by Ewan Chrystal on 5 April 2017 at 12:38

    This file is seriously testing my patience. Its not a huge file 1.3mb. Its a vector and all i want to do is put a thin white border around the outside but when i open it in Flexisign it slows down everything and makes it almost impossible to work on. Adding an outline and trying to alter the size of the outline is taking almost half an hour because it is taking so long to process. Why is this file causing so many problems?

    Hi Ewan,

    I have managed to do it and save it as a flexi file but cant see how I can upload it again!

    Give me a shout and I’ll email it over to you

    It’s a fair few clipping paths, how much white area do you require?

    Any ideas what i can do to it to make it easier to work with? Even re sizing it takes forever

    Rasterise the tree, then add the cut path.
