'''Importing Files into VE LXI (Vinyl Express).'''

The Software used is CoCut Professional 2014.

The hands down best way to get your artwork into the software is to cut and paste from InkScape. Inkscape is open source, on that computer and can handle a ton of import formats. Seriously...try to use this method!

The software can import a lot of formats, but it is very old, so it needs old versions of the file formats. The software has a Copyright date of 1991-2001. You can use DXF files, but I found the the version had to be a pre 2000 version. I used DXF Rev 12 ASCII format for example. Some formats have not changed in years like HPGL and are good to use.

The software does not import svgs, but does import Adobe Illustrator files.  Open your SVG in Illustrator and resave it as an .ai file.  Then import your file into CoCut Pro.
* HPGL

When your graphic is ready to cut, click the File...Cut/Plot menus. This should bring up a couple of new windows. One is the Production Manager. This may show some older, incomplete jobs from failed attempts. Delete those old jobs.
