Any graphic file experts.

I am trying to get a complicated PDF file loaded so I can plot it out on a large summa plotter.
I was using winplot to cut and Ai to guide me but 16 hours later I gave up and installed my evaluation copy of vinyl master.

I still cant get that PDF to load and plot.

So i am trying to get various files A3 size for now to see how well vinylmaster.
handles them.
Dxf, PDF and EPS seem to be the most used in engineering.
Anyone have or know to a source of files fullfilling that criterion i could test with.?

I’ve never tried to use a pdf for vinyl. But most vector based programs are the way to go for vinyl as scaling up doesn’t usually loose any detail.

Yep. I am using vInylmaster. I am not wanting to cut just plot with a pen.
It appears a lot of engineering files are awash with nodes and other "things" that cause issues.
But i am really struggling with finding files to test.
