  • Trouble importing AI files from Signlab to Easysign

    Posted by Terry Bull on January 12, 2010 at 2:50 pm

    Something has made my plotter ‘lose the plot
    i always export from signlab as a AI to cut in Easy sign however something has gone amiss and current files i save and export appear in easysign as a broken line

    previous saved files as AI are still opening correctly in Easy
    is it a setting in sign lab that’s gone wrong / any ideas

    Im sure this has happened before but can remember what cured it

    Thanks Terry

    Hi Terry.

    why dont you just cut from signlab?

    Anyway if you post one of the signlab files as a cdl and an ai I will have a look

    Hi Terry,

    Doesn’t your Signlab work your plotter? I’d cut from Signlab rather than wasting my time exporting and clogging up my hard drive with files that doesn’t need to be there.

    I have both these programmes and find the SL cutting part better than the Easysign one albeit I have Easy Sign V4. The broken line is a contour cut line I think.

    Thanks for the help but this is hard to explain but i left the thing alone for a few hrs before i blew a fuse and then resaved the work as i usually do and
    was able to open as normal

    Ive not changed anything but it seems to have cleared itself
    After i spent an afternoon trying all options
    AM I GOING MAD!
