i think that if the owner of uscutter had any "legal issue" with what eric has done, they would have yanked it right away. personally i don't think it is a matter of people trying to avoid buying other software so much as it is a matter of people using sbe anyway because they like it. i love sb and am very thankful for what eric has done for everyone here. i am currently talking to a tech guy about unlocking the outputs on the hotshots version and he is confident he can do it. it will likely cost me something and i will be looking for a return on my investment. i don't see it as being a legal issue because there is noone who will be financially hurt by it. if i could buy signblazer hotshots and register it legally i would do that but i can't so i am left with no other alternative. bb

signblazer uses "true type" fonts. so any font editor that outputs "ttf" would suit you. bb

jay, i bow to your excelent knowledge of signblazer. bb

your welcome (takes bow...). bb

you need to make sure your output resolution is under 10,000x10,000 pixles before you hit the save button. you may have to temporarily reduce your image down before you try to save it. then yyou can uno the scaling after. bb

it should come on when you turn the cutter on. if it doesn't, your laser is dead or has a bad connection somewhere. bb

i never turn my cutter on first. i don't think it makes a difference. bb Back in the old days of signblazer and my pcut if I didn't turn the cutter on first it would assign some off the wall com port - if the cutter was on first it never did this. now with flexi and graphtec it doesn't matter that's interesting because i only turn my cutter on when i am ready to do some cutting. never a problem with reasigned com ports, however i am using a null modem serial cable, not usb. bb

do you have your port settings correct? they must be the same in the cutter setup and in your computers control panel under device drivers. bb

i suggest you read through the learning guide. it explains everything you want to know. bb http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,19211.0.html

what are the specs of your computer? processor speed? ram? graphics card? one of these could be choking on the data. bb

does anyone have these that they would like to share? viewed from the top please, like you are looking down into a pond. lilly pads are mostly the type of plant i am looking for. thanks in advance. bb

i will be watching this thread with more interest. bb

makes you wonder if there are any shirts at all... bb

your newe so i will type slowly. the guy that created this fabulous software left this world a couple years ago, and his company folded. since then, there has been no way to register or unlock the software. one of our smarter forum members and his friend created a key gen to unlock the software and get rid of teh nag screens. bb

ditto-almost... have you gotten the key gen yet? http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,18816.0.html bb

your computer may be lacking in some way (processor or memorey or graphics card?) use the task manager to monitor performance when you are doing that. bb

GOT MYSELF ONE OF THESE FROM OFFICE MAX. WHAT A GREAT DEAL! BB

I SEE. I ALSO DISCOVERED YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SHUT DOWN THE PROGRAM AFTER GETTING THE ACTIVATION CODE. JUST CLEAR THE FIELD AND ENTER THE CODE AND HIT ACTIVATTE. BB

TRY CLICKING ON THE "REDRAW" BUTTON IN TEH TOP LEFT CORNER OF TEH SCREEN. BB

A KEY GEN HAS BEEN CREATED BY ONE OF OUR MORE TALLENTED FORUM MEMBERS SO NOW YOU CAN EAT YOUR CAKE. http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,18816.0.html BB

i edited the how to. maybe it will make it easier for some of you. bb Howto (edit).txt Howto (edit).txt

but before you do that, check your cutter port settings and the port settings in your hardware manager. bb

my "fallback" font is impact. very easy to read. bb
