cutme

not sure what teh root problem is, but here is an eps file that i saved from illy. i can nodfe edit it in sbe without any loss. hope this helps. bb flag2.EPS flag2.EPS

you should be able to copy the files from one to the other. look in "c>program files>signblazer". bb

you should be able to reinstall just the library from the sbe download. bb

you should be able to copy in corel, then in sbe, click on edit>clipboard past. you can also use the clipboard copy/paste commands in sbe to copy from one sbe window to another. bb

you can copy/paste, or save as eps and import. bb

makes me wonder if the screws for the stand are running into something inside the plotter? bb

i suppose you could use the node editor to break and overlap the line. in most things there is usually a work around. bb

to my knowlege, sb has no overcut feature. bb

your problems may be with your computer, not the software itself. do you have the latest updates for xp? do you have enough ram installed? (xp will only recognize 3 gigs, but that is plenty) what about your graphics card? is it powerful enough? i have sbe installed on three comps, all running some version of xp. the only time i get any errors, is when i try to open ai files that are newer versions than legacy 8. are you installing the latest version of signblazer? go to help>about to check the release number, it should be 6.0.21. hope this helps in some small way. bb

if you click on the video above twice, it will take you to youtube where you can view it full screen. bb

you don't say what cutter you have. if your cutter has a serial port, get a "null modem" serial cable and ditch teh usb cable altogether. bb

did you set the cutter software to com 5? look in the cutter settings when you are in the cutter window of sbe. bb

too much pressure (cutting downforce)? bb

is it a vector? do you have it selected in the cut screen? bb

use teh inlin/outline tool. bb

how; make a rectangle/square and size it to suite. make it white and place it behind your graphic. why does this help; because when you export as a jpeg from sbe it sets a bounding box around the largest image. hope this helps bb

when you get to the cut screen, look in the upper left. you may not have your background selected for cutting. bb

not exactly sure where you are having problems. although you should have put a white box behind your graphic. like these. bb

you have two colors there, white and black. your black design is sitting on top of a white square. bb

if you read through the learning guide you will find a section devoted to just this subject. bb

you should probably read through the learning guide. bb

first we must determine what type of image you want to edit and how. bb

did you install the fonts in teh windows font folder? that is where sb looks fo fonts. they must all be ttf fonts as well. bb

why don't you just buy rols of pinstripe material? it would be much cheaper. bb

great idea bb
