It looks like the "Create Outlines" was indeed the trick - thanks to all for the tip. Primal Decals - I may take you up on your kind offer at some point in the near future..... getting my hand around everything at the moment....

thanks - I will give that a shot this evening and see.....

New Titan3 & Sure Cuts A Lot Pro user here.... running Adobe CC and SCALP3 on a Mac. I have a logo designed in Adobe Illustrator CC which I am having issues importing The design has a vector graphic as well as text. When I import the AI file into SCALP 3, I get the vector graphic but not the text - including no bounding boxes where the text would be. I can pull in an exported PNG file, but the scaling is way off (I assume due to the dpi setting of the export). If I export as an SVG from AI and import into SCALP3, the drawing comes in along with some bounding boxes for the text, but no text traces. I installed the AI plug-in and send the file to SCALP3 via the AI script and the image comes in as above with the SVG file. Are some special settings or properties needed on the AI file side before exporting? I could just use the PNG route but some of these are multi-color and it would be a lot easier to pull straight in vs. having to rescale and ensure all layers are the right size, especially as I will be packing multiple copies of a given color layer together to save wasted vinyl. On a related now - I see there is a V4 of SCALP avail - I just recently purchased by Titan 3 - should i have received V4? Are there benefits to V4? Also - as I do my design in AI and Photoshop by and large, are there benefits to SignCut Pro over SCALP? thanks!
