"Not a valid header"

[joewino]

I am trying to import a vector drawing from Adobe Illustrator into ArtCam Pro 9 and keep getting the message "This file does not have a valid header".

What does that mean?

Try saving the drawing as an older version. Typically AI or EPS version 7 or older. I like to pick the oldest version possible, typically v2 or v3 if given the choice. When you save the AI or EPS out of Illustrator, look for a button that allows you to select options.

I had tried exporting it to an older version and the results were the same.

The file was from another signman and I finally just imported it into Gerber Omega (sign software) and then exported it back out again as Adobe Illustrator and ArtCam accepted it easily.

Now, I have no idea what all of that did...but it worked.
