jayke Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hi All, Hope you can help, I have a customer who would like this simple piece of artwork engraving. I have converted it into an EPS file but when i engrave it it only engraves as an outline, This is where the problem is as when i infill it using Gravostyle 7 it infill the complete heart and will not engrave the initials, How do i infill just the heart and leaving the initials as they are? Any help would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hibsjo(SCO) Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 if its an eps you should just be able to fill not working on G7 so can you split(ungroup) the heart from the initials then click the two(highlight them) then try and fill? if that dont work down load the file to downloads and ill have a look at it carry on!

Lee Hi Lee, Thank you so much thats perfect! Id really like to understand where im going wrong, When you say there is 2 lines do you mean they overlap each other? and how are they deleted? Ill make a donation later on for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i have converted it to an EPS file, When i click on ungroup nothing changes? Really unsure where im going wrong with this. Lee has kindly converted it for me I would really like to understand how to do it though i hate not knowing how to use my equipment to its full potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hibsjo(SCO) Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 when you click on ungroup all it does is "break" it up so you should be able to click on the initials and they will be highlited or click on the heart and it will be highlighted try it its difficult not knowing what tools you have available on your level of software carry on!

beware Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hi, Assuming your imported eps has only a single line and no doubles, and all lines are properly connected (if the initials aren't closed shapes then they wont fill), then you should group all parts together and then apply fill. If you like, send me the gnh file and I will have a look. Ben GVUK Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
