I am using Illustrator 8.0 to trace/redraw items to send to a cam program for cutting with a cnc router.
My wife uses the 10.0 version to do the same thing and can export them as a DXF file and the cam program can convert them to Gcode with no problem.
When I do it with 8.0 and save the file as a jpeg or bitmap (which my cam program can convert to Gcode also) the cam program hangs or does not open the program.
What am I doing wrong?
My wife refuses to help anymore! (you know that little thing Mac vs. PC)
Any help is really needed bad.
P.S. cant afford to buy new Illustrator
