This is the first time I've ever had this issue. I now know some new angles to take in dealing with it if it rears its evil head again.</p> <hr /><a name="a3671_9"></a><p><b>From: logojohn</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3671.9">#9</a>]<br /> 29 Apr 2006<br /><b>To: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3671.8">#8</a>] 29 Apr 2006</p> My "too many nodes" theory still holds true with the new file that was posted.<br /> <br /> I opened and ungrouped it and it is has a solid black layer behind which has the most nodes (about 3200 nodes if my memory is correct). The circles and columns are in several pieces with a white outline and white color layed over the top of the black layer.<br /> <br /> The original was all combined as one with the black going around the white areas. This created the total node count over 12,000.<br /> <br /> A full black object under the separate white ones in the new file were separate objects so the node count per object was much less. <br /> <br /> EPS filter may have been smart enough to do that on purpose or might just handle things differently.<br /> <br /> I have ran across the splittling of ojects before mostly when I could only open something in Adobe illustrator ver9 and saved it as a lower version before I had corel x3. It would open in ver 11 but I would sometimes get the objects in pieces like somebody sliced in in vertical strips.<br /> <br /> That doesn't matter for lasering but is harder to edit. But I make engraveable logos most of the time so the objects have to be re-connected and must be conbineable so my hatch fill program will work. Layering will not work as even hidden vector lines will engrave on a rotary.<br /> <br /> <br /> . <hr /><a name="a3671_10"></a><p><b>From: JHayes55</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3671.10">#10</a>]<br /> 29 Apr 2006<br /><b>To: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3671.8">#8</a>] 29 Apr 2006</p> <p>I think you have everything clear by now but just in case I did print it from X3 on my laser printer and it was perfect.<br /> Hope you got my email on the item we talked about Friday.</p> <p>Yesterday was a long day 6:30 am till 10:30 pm and back in today all day but I am about to quit - to tired - afraid I will make mistakes.</p> <hr /><a name="a3671_11"></a><p><b>From: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3671.11">#11</a>]<br /> 29 Apr 2006<br /><b>To: JHayes55</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3671.10">#10</a>] 1 May 2006</p> <p>I got the job done thanks to everyone's help.</p> <p>I did get your e-mail later in the day and was going to respond tonight.
