I've been trying to figure this out for a while now. Basically I want to be able to set the layer color of my paths so that when I open my file in LaserCut my layers are already set. I've done some searching trying to figure out what color palette to use. I came across another post that suggested creating a file in LaserCut with each path using one of the colors available then exporting that and opening it up in Illustrator to capture the palette. The other post said to use LaserCut to save the file as an .ai file. LaserCut 5.3 has no option to save or export as an .ai file. My only options are .dxf and .plt. So, I tried exporting it as a .dxf and opening that up in Illustrator. It kind of works. The file opens however only a few of the path colors come over correctly. In any case, I try saving that palette and using it in a new drawing, saving as an .ai file (Illustrator 8 version) and importing that back into LaserCut. Doesn't work. Everything comes across as black even though the colors are there in Illustrator. So I tried saving as a dxf from AI. There are a ton of options of which AutoCAD version to use. I tried the oldest and the newest but that doesn't work either. When I open it up in LaserCut everything is still black. Anyone have a clue? I'm using Illustrator CC, the latest version. I will note that the oldest version of AI I can save to is AI 8. When I import this into LaserCut I get an error that says, "Can't import the image data, please save the file use Version 7.0 file format." Even though I get this error it imports my drawing into LaserCut. This has been my standard workflow. I just can't figure out how to assign the layer colors in Illustrator and have them transfer. In AI I've been using no fill, .25pt stroke.
