Importing Eps to create outlines for vinyl cut

I've been sent an EPS from a client, usually we just import the eps, put no fill in it and then just right click a hairline outline around it all for cutting. However this EPS doesn't allow that even through you can pull it part no problem

Any ideas

Yeah, CD just imports all those blasted clipping masks as bitmaps...the bitmaps were used in the clipping masks. Stupid file construction.

I have attached a CDX6 file. Used X7 to export as one, so hopefully it will open on your end properly. All vector now.

If they are all made like the one I fixed, then I doubt it. CD is just importing the bitmaps used in the clipping masks.

Depending upon the number of these, I would be happy to fix them for your use. It only takes a couple minutes to fix and test them--if they are made like the one I did anyway. No charge, of course. Just one user helping another.

Else get back with whoever made them and tell them to not use bitmaps in clipping masks to color the things.

If you would like me to fix them, PM me a link to download them and I'll put them up on my dropbox and PM you a download link.
