  1. In the trouble shooting if the online driver fails to load correctly,, it suggests to use the driver disc that came with the machine. I can't upload the screen shot of my driver page.......
  2. Skeeter,, thanks for the link,, tried all of that,, but got the error message. The disc I have is from 2004-2005, has no windows7 drivers. Any other thoughts? Thanks, Tom

    Pro upgrade

    OK,,, I must be real stupid,,,, I tried to install the upgrade,,, put the dongle in,, it says ready to use,,, but nothing installs,, I go to "my computer",,, and can't see the dongle. This came with no instructions,,, only the password. What am I doing wrong? Tom

    Cutting a multi color decal

    I can answer this one,,, if you are using elements,, you need to create some sort of registration marks,, SB Pro has registration marks. BUT In Pro,, Do you have to draw RMs on each layer? Or, does it do it automatically? Tom

    No CD,,, just the dongle and password,,, WHEW I kind of feel better. Shouldn't the CD and dongle ship together? Tom
  11. When you type the graphic,,, make the G and the E seperate, then you can node edit them,, ie instead of typing GATHER HERE,, type G hit the select button, then select the text button again, type ATHER HER, hit the select again, select the text again, type the E. now the first G and the last E are seperate entities, so they can be node edited separate from the other letters. Just went and tried it,, it will work. Tom

    Sizing jobs

    Thanks Bruce,, I thought I would be unhappy with SB as it is a relatively "cheap" program,, but the support is top notch,, and software is pretty good. I too wish you would give Elements registration marks though. Tom

    Sizing jobs

    OK, Lets say I am doing a cut job,,, some of the graphics are 8" x 20",,, and some are 4" x 10". If I am GUESSING correctly,,, I should do the graphic 8 x 20,, then shrink it to the 4 x 10 right? BUT Lets say I need to go larger than the 8 x 20,,, if I use the 8 x 20 and resize the graphic so it extends outside of the sign dimensions, will it cut correctly? Does the "Long Lengths Of Text extending outside of Cut Box" apply in this instance? Thanks, Tom
  14. Am I totally stupid or blind? Where is download section? Never mind,,,,, Totally stupid ,,,, went off the forums and found it
  15. Am I totally stupid or blind? Where is download section?
  16. Yep,,, just got mine last week,,,, I don't have vinyl yet,,, still waiting for delivery,, so I put the pen in and tried it out. Sign Blazer is pretty easy to use,, has a couple of goofy things, but all and all seems pretty good. Tom
  17. I am waiting for my PCut to arrive,, I downloaded the trial version to play with it for a while. I noticed, there is no registration marks, or line spacing options. Is this because of the trial version? what are the differences between the three versions? Thanks, Tom

    Trial version vs Elements vs Pro

    Oh no they delivered it,, and left it that way. I called them. I half wanted to open and inspect it,, as I can reach in on of the tears and touch the machine. FEDEX said do not open it. I am hoping that with the tracking # USC will turn one around. Oh well, Tom

    Trial version vs Elements vs Pro

    Well it will be a week or two before I can use SBE,, looks like they (FEDEX) used my plotter as a step stool. Per FEDEX not even going to open box, they are returning it, so figure a week back, then a week to get another. Hopefully USC will ship another out right away, and not make me wait for them to get this one. Tom
  20. I have a question, My PCUT should be here in a few days,, I fly RC helis and planes. We cover the planes with a material that is a plastic film, (Monocote is one brand) It is a few mils thick and probably easier to cut than vinyl. If I feed something under it as a backing,, do you think it can be cut on the machine. I have a couple of planes that I am trying to keep light,, so vinyl would be a little heavy. Bigger planes can handle vinyl,, no problem. Thanks, Tom

    Extracting layers

    Sorry to be a pain in the butt,,,, but,, if I have a graphic, that has multiple color layers,, after I import it, how do I separate the different colors so I can cut the color layers? Sorry about being a pain,, but I am a noob. Thanks, Tom
