Editing job??

[ashleighfiddler]

Hi everyone, hoping someone can help me figure out how to get a .job file from production manager to edit it? I forgot to save the artwork but the .job file is still there. When I right-click and go to edit>Flexi 8.2, nothing opens in Flexi. Has anyone had this and how did you work around it?

Is this a print file or a cut file? If a print file, and it's a PDF just copy and paste elsewhere. If it's only a cut file, the .job is just code, editing won't do any good.

sample of a .job plotter file, opened in Textpad...

oh, ok... then why does it give you the option to edit in flexi? Very confusing.

Hmm..mine gives me no options. I have to go and select whatever program I think I should use.

And it makes sense it would not work, since .job is not a file type that Flexi can open or import, if you scroll through the list of types. Production Manager, however, will open them, as it is the actual program that creates a .job file from the info sent from Flexi.
