    Try this one Peter, I have converted it for you to the best eps format I can get. I hope it's the right one.

    Las Vegas Welcome Sign

    That's it Frank - thanks very much - I notice the sign has a couple of outer light bulbs missing - a sign (pun intended) of the times, I guess.

    Thanks again Frank.

    First.....excellent job Frank.

    Second......here's a stupid question (remember, only questions that aren't asked are stupid......or something like that)........the EPS file is in full color and looks great......but my Epilog only engraves shades of black (right?).....so how do I convert an EPS to greyscale (I know how to ungroup and change the color on each closed path.....but there MUST be a different way!)........or will a full color EPS engrave like a greyscale?

    Your laser won't know the difference. It only sees shades of grey. It would engrave fine.

    Frank, which software did you use for the conversion? It really did a superb job.

    I tried it and it didn't engrave that well.....not sure exactly why.....but it doesn't really matter, I didn't need that specific graphic.

    But I DID learn how to convert a colored vector to greyscale......use the Find & Replace option.....color palette.....but you need to do it twice, once for outlines and once for fills. Also, make sure it's the only item on your page, since it will convert EVERYTHING!
