AICS2 to flexi

Hi to all the members of this great forum!
I being reading for a few days now trying to get some more insightful info into flexi and I ran into a little problem as explained below.

: I have a logo created in AI CS2, the logo contains 4 layers, one layer is a solid circle and the other are letters. This is a simple logo to be cut in vinyl using Flexi started 7.6
I saved the file in the format AI, (my logo.AI) when I open the file in Flexi, I can send the whole logo to the cutter but since the logo has two different colors I need to cut one first and then the other. This is where the problem begins, I can't select the layers as I did before, seems like the logo is as a group and I can't un-group it, any ideas what I did wrong?


Thank you for your time to read this post and for any replies.

I did a search but after a few hours I got nothing.

 

Thanks!

Ok! I will try this when I get home; I was right when I thought this was a great place to ask questions. Thank you so much for the quick reply!

 

By the way..

Is there a automatic funtion on this?
When I created another logo before and imported it into flexi I was able to move individual objects.

 

Didin't work

I went back to the original logo and did ungroup all the elements in AICS2, save it as mylogo.ai using PDF compatible and no compression.
when opening in flexi I still getting the object as a whole, using the suggested tip didn't work either. What are the best settings to save under AICS2 to import to flexi?

 

Thank you Fred!

Fred:
You are a genius, saving to AI8 did the trick; now I can move the elements as individual parts of the logo.
One thing I forgot to mention before it's that I was using AICS before, so went I saved files before I did not have that problem; I just upgraded to AICS2 and never thought about file compatibility!
