advice on long straight cuts MH871

[Betterbait]

Hello,

I am having a similar problem.  I have the sign Cut Pro and when I add tiles, it doesn't cut them as if it were 1 long file.  It stacks them up and down instead of left to right like the image

. 

It would cut the first tile correctly and instead of just moving to the second tile as pictured, it will go left of the first tile and cut and move to the third the same way.  Basically it makes them individually like it is supposed to but not as 1 long image.

Any sugesstions??

Thanks

Scott

I do not know anything about Signblazer,,,, but in Flexi,,,,, You can place tile marks,  it does NOT cut across your design,  it only cuts everything up to the point,  then advances, cuts up to that point, then advances until it is at the end of the design,You still have only I big stripe. Not sections.  That way you do not have your cutter going from one end of the vinyl ,clear to the other end and back and forth.  I make stripes all the time for my business, this is how I do it and they are perfect.  In the picture I have put 6 tiles in your design,  each at about 14.2"  So it will cut all of the first 14".2"  then advance to the next 14.2"  then advance to the next 14.2" until it gets to the end of the design...  It does not cut the lines ACROSS the design,,,,

I set up flexi this way to cut a 6"x 48" decal.  Just to see how it worked, well it cut a line through the decal at the point where the tiles meet, not the entire sheet just the decal part.  I am using flexi pro 8.1.  We use this for our color plotting so I figured I would use it for cutting also.  Is there something that I should be looking for to stop it from cutting the tile lines?

I use FlexiStarter 8.5 and mine never cuts the tile lines,   it starts at first tile, cuts everything in it, then advances to the next tile than does every tile as 1 continous design,   maybe you can show screen shots of the production manager as to what you have clicked, before you send to cut.

While I was weeding a decal last night I noticed that there was a cut where the tiles met.  there are 4 tiles, 12.25in each so I looked the entire thing over and there were cuts between the 2nd and 3rd tiles and the 3rd and 4th tiles, between the 1st and 2nd there was no cut.  I am baffled.  I loaded a roll of paper and the pen and ran it again and it is plotting a line at those spots on paper also.  it worked a couple times because I went back and looked at the stuff I cut yesterday morning and it was fine.  does this make any sense?

I have Flexi starter 8.5 too but I can't get it to open. It starts to load and when it is done loading and ready to open it just closes right away. Any Ideas? thanks

   Have you had the software for awhile?  or just buy it?  does it have the dongle?  did you  put the dongle in a USB port in your computer?

I bought it a couple months or so ago and have never used it and yes I do have the dongle and it is in the usb. Is my computer missing something to open it such as a special java or anything? I just don't understand why it closes right away.

have you set the software up with the password and everything.?  Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall it.  I would try that.
