Can you open and save vector files saved in .eps or .ai format?

Hi I am able to open and save EPS and AI formats with version 9. For example, I just now opened Illustrator CS5 files which I saved in eps and ai format. I cannot say about later versions of Illustrator, Ai and Eps. However I occasionally download files from stock photo companies in victor format and am able to open them in Xara 9. Now if you do a search in Google for AI and eps compatibility you might find comments regarding exporting to AI and EPS. For example on one Xara forum here's what a user said "If it is just plain vectors with no RGB effects like shadows, transparencies and extreme colour fills it will export to illy no problems. If there is loads of text then it will not be editable at all as each letter will import to Illy as a shape." This particular quote was for an earlier version of Xara. On the shutterstock forum here is a snippet comment regarding Xara 9 "I spoke with the Xara support and they told me that their .eps is compatible with Illustrator 8." Obviously Xara is no Illustrator so I am sure there are features in AI which are not found in Xara. But in my case, when I want to do something quick and don't want to deal with Illustrator (of which I am less skilled) I use Xara. I've been using various versions of xara for over 10 years. Maybe even 15 years! Rowby

The quality is good, but is significantly different from what you see when you draw. It saves the vector traces. Occasionally, some traces are not registered :( Here some files made with it.: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B28c3unKHwmALU1VUUxpcVlub2M/edit?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B28c3unKHwmAZmJxUVZhbFN0QmM/edit?usp=sharing

Yes, I create my own vector designs and import them from adobe illustrator. You will have to trace your cut lines once your image is imported so that can be a bit tricky but the silhouette program has a feature that makes it a bit easier.

I don't believe it can be done. The scans are separate (can't run simultaneously) and won't save on the same document.

Sorry to say, I don't know. I use another program, Designers Gallery to convert files from hus, pcs, vip, sew,jef,exp, dst into pes files and then use brother design to expand, change, modify etc.

Yes. You just use a cable and it dumps text from the Alphasmart into an open Word file.

Yes, it does. I just had to call customer support to request the plugin for Illustrator. I believe it supports CS6 and below.

I place multiple documents in the upper level tray and then hit scan. It should save them as a collective file within your computer.

The software uses a file type of .STL, which should be an easy "save as" in Solidworks.

That depends on the software you are using, it's not a capability of this device. You can use adobe illustrator to live trace a drawing if you want or you can draw directly in illustrator making everything vector to begin with, but I don't think illustrator supports pressure sensitivity.

There is not, but I decompile the downloadable code and created a dll of commands and a command-line interface for it. I would be happy to share it.

Save as an dxf then you can print to a pdf using the Autodesk viewer. I have not had very good luck going directly to a pdf from Autosketch.

I haven't tried it, but from the way it looks you can put them in a folder once you have imported to your computer.

Adobe Acrobat will do that and many many other things. There maybe a less expensive option but I'm not aware.M. Raskin

Yes, the file that is created just needs to be saved as an svg file. I have created several files with Adobe Illustrator and then cut them out with the sizzix.

It does have label capabilities, using the Avery formats, but I don't know if it will open existing files. In most cases, I have "cut and pasted" existing files.

Yes, I saw your question and decided to try it. You are able to scan to the USB, it allows you to save in PDF, JPG or TIF (and possible other) formats.
