loosing letters when going from corel draw5 to sign cut
« on: December 25, 2011, 09:32:09 PM »
i have a large wall project. i save my file from corel draw as i always do as an svg because esp will not open. it just says sign cut has an error and shuts down when i try to open an esp with signcut, but anyways the letter I will not show up or even cut from signcut. i tried changing fonts and resaving it. and it still will not do it. any ideas? thanks ??? ??? ???

Hav you tried converting the text to curves?

-eps version again
-svg 2nd

When you go through the prompts when save as/ exporting .eps make sure text is "curves" not "text"

See if that helps

Another thing to try - open SC Pro first, then try the export from your design.  Also, just try opening the file from SC Pro.  Both of these options work for me.  I know you shouldn't have to, but that's what works for me.  My SC Pro "prefers" eps, but svg work fine too.  Weird, I know... :P

so i figured that out. now when i open the project as an eps it will not show different colors and when it gets almost al of the way done it freezes up on my cutter.

Have you tried making it smaller and see if it cuts out correctly to rule out the size.
