Hi Guys,
I have a problem with an eps file sent to me by a regular customer. I laser engrave different company logos onto their products.
This is the second time this month that I've had the same problem with an eps file. If I try to open it in coreldraw12 I just get a blank box. If I try importing it it looks very pixillated(hope I spelled that right).
I would appreciate any help. I'll attach the file.
Thanks,
Tony

Tony,
I tried opening the file in Illustrator, thinking it may be a Mac format, but got the same blank screen.
"The Illustration contains an incomplete or garbled object description" is the error message that popped up.
I was able to "place" the file on a page, but as you experienced, it was bitmapped (heavy pixelation).

Try this and see if it works for you.

Thank you Mike,
I was able to open that one in Illustrator. I think that should work for Tony.
I'll leave the file intact, until Tony retrieves it.

Hi David, I tried a test import into CorelDraw 11 and 12 and that worked as well. Hopefully it will behave for Tony ;-)

I learned this simply by trial and error... (as well, you can still see faint 'QWERTY' keyboard imprints across my forehead.)
I simply opened in Illustrator and saved it as a version 8.0
For some reason (at least for me) CorelDraw will not import any .ai or .eps that is anything higher than version 8.0.
