Signcut not reading all information from inkscape file.

Postby williams_wayne5 » Sat Jul 05, 2014 10:02 pm

I generated a drawing using inkscape, saved as an eps file. When i opened in signcut only some of the drawing opened. I have attached file, any ideas? i am new to this so hopefully just a newbie error.

Hi,

there are seemingly unnecessary clipping involved, have you tried removing them?

-in the attachment objects are ungrouped an clipping unset-

Selected all objects and ungrouped them (Shift+Ctrl+G),
then at the object menu released the clipping and deleted the clip objects.

Eps files cannot be saved with gradients and transparency with inkscape, which those clipping objects had.
