Hi,
I have designed a logo in Freehand MX which needs to be applied to a window out of cut vinyl.
The file is basically a solid black box with white lettering and graphic. The eps file I have created however has thin lines running through it which my vinyl signage supplier tells me actually splits the logo when its cut out. The lines are not visible in Freehand when viewed as linework.
I have tried everything I could think of to remove these...any help/guidance on here would be greatly appreciated as its now holding up the job.
Thanks
Mike

Cutting software tends to be based on either plotting wares (such as Auto CAD) or PC vector graphic apps (such as Corel Draw).
I haven't seen this problem for a while though, but to be honest I haven't used Freehand for a while either.
Try exporting as a different format. perhaps a later one or even as a AI file, most modern sign plugins should be able to accept the latest illustrator formats
