I have a piece of art that I converted to line art. When I send it to my epilog, instead of reading it it says done. Does anyone have any suggestions what I may be doing wrong. I am not having trouble with any other files just this one.

Check to make sure the page size matches the file page size in your driver. If it doesnt then
the art work may be outside the page when setting the driver perameters.

You should have a preview in your driver and you should see the art work where positioned.

Also make sure you have the proper mode set; raster or vector.

Hi Kathy, welcome to the Creek! More than likely, you made the lines "hairline width" which will not raster. You just get the beep. Try changing the lines to 1/2 point or fatter.

cheers, dee

In the graphics program you used ?? Corel ? what is the line Thickness. Trotec requires a .003 minimum for raster and .0005 for vector cuts. Line color makes a difference...Trotec has 15 choices.
