newbie question

[John Gregson]

Hi Roy,
Can you not just import an eps straight into your cutting program?

Cheers John

Welcome to the boards.. Be nice if you introduced yourself in the Hello forum.

….an eps file should not degrade if you import it into anything that will read eps correctly.

I didn’t think dxf files could be saved in colour? I may be wrong, have not used dxf for about 10 years 😉

I don’t know robomaster at all, but sounds like its an issue with the settings in the software to me….

..as I say, may be wrong.

Thanks shane and john for quick response sorted problem out by using illustrator plug in for craft robo .As for introduction or lack of it my son posted the question not realising i hadnt used the forum before. so thats where im going next.Again many thanks Roy.

Sorry but I am a bit confused by the whole question 🙄

If you are cutting these outlines on a craft robo why do they need to be in colour? The machine is just going to plot what ever colour material you put in it.

I was thinking the same as Martin – are we missing something?

I am assuming it is like most cutting software, in that you can send entire graphic to the cutter, and then cut by colour selection 😕 Could be wrong tho… 😛

sorry about the confusion everyone my son who posted the question has now realised the colour is not neededto cut the outline but says the imported images used to appear in colour then started opening in black and white.it is not a problem now as he can print and cut straight from illustrator now. Once again thanks for your help and hope this clears up any confusion. Roy
