stevecoco Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hi everyone trying to get an engraveable image of a Budgie, tried vectorising a photo but requires too much work to get a decent image from it, hopefully some kind person out there has a good internet site that they can give me details of so I can get this cup engraved and out of the shop.

Michael Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 2 added to downloads... Hope they're ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecoco Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hi, sorry for the late reply. I cannot get those images to go into my Gravograph software(ver.4.5) in order to engrave them. But thanks for the images anyway. Anyone else with engraveable image of a Budgerigar? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I saved them as .ai eps I thought this worked with majority of software. Do you want me to try another format? I dont use Gravo software so dont know what it uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 worked fine for me in g5 but 98 struggled. I've re-saved it and put michaels one back in downloads..give that a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecoco Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Andy sorry that file is not working either. Do you have an option to save as DXF 2D or VND. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecoco Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Just thought Andy if you managed to get the file into your Gravo 98 just send me that file instead. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 how are you trying to open it ?? have you tried "file" then "import" i just downloaded and imported it fine to 98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecoco Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hi Andy, I have downloaded the file to my desktop, opened Gravo 98, pressed select icon so that import button is not greyed out, found the budgie file, imported it but all that appears on screen is a blank screen with 6 small boxes (as if the item is there but I cannot see it), tried changing view options but still nothing showing. Am I being a total dullard, am I missing something. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 try right click twice to zoom out.. sounds like the image has missed the engraving area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 if i remember right you may have to unlock the image as well, padlock in the middle at bottom should be in open position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecoco Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hi guys, back at home the noo, will try your suggestions in the morning Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecoco Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I think the gremlins were in my computer because this morning it has loaded in no problems at all, maybe the 'shoe fairys' sorted it for me. To all many thanks, and in response to tofatbyfars 'shout' and being a Man Utd supporter myself--I love John Terry!!!!!??? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 import difficulties can sometimes be down to what build your software is, not sure if Gravograph are still upgrading to the latest build with '98. Ask em............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecoco Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 No Gravograph have informed me that software support is no longer offered for the 98 version now, unless I could still pay for the 98 upgrades etc. Gravoraph over to you!!
