Default FAO Graphics People (Photoshoppers)

Guys

I am trying to create something for CFoster to cut on his vinyl machine.

I have drawn it in PSP8, all as Vectors, on Vector Layer1 (only layer there is).

But, it wont let me save it as a vector, even when the format is EPS.

It seems to want to "merge all layers", thus turning it into raster, then saves it as EPS...making the file HUGE and unuseable

Anyone got any advise for how to save it as a vector propperly?

Cheers

Were on PSP9 here phil, to save it will have to merge all layers, the only way i can think is to save it as a PSP file but then chris will have to open and cut the file via PSP.

Cheers Chris, but I've plenty more to do, loads of it infact, hence wanting to do it right as I make it, rather than spend 5hours making something only for it to need redoing

I'll try another package, Photoshop perhaps instead of PSP!

Cheers Chris

Hmm, seems Photoshop is Raster based too, anyone know of any easyish to use Vector Drawing packages? Preferably "CAD like" as I need to draw circles of a set diameter etc?
Thanks
