    the keyspan serial adapter worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is strange to me how that is one of hte few if not the only adapter that works with mac.
  2. so with vinyl cutter finally working for 4days, sign cut is now crashing. the program opens fine, i hit import and it crashes. i have tried re-installing, updating(which attempts to install but fails because of an error and asks me to try again later). the odd thing is that i am not doing anything differently from when yesterday when i cut about 40 stickers. anyone have any ideas? thanks.

    well i just ordered that keyspan adapter... lets hope that is the workaround to the problem. also here is a screenshot of the install error message of the latest signcut x2 release.

    soo.. i re-named the old signcut folder and re installed signcut. i downloaded the latest update via your link: reinstall SignCut-X2. (Btw new release today, V2.21) , Link: click here. :and i continued to install that new release and i an error and it said sorry please try again later. I did this about two or 3 times and all the same. so i then figured i would try without that update and to no suprise the same result. i made sure that the proper cutter was selected and the baudrate was the same 9600 that the cutter is (because it wont change on the cutter) and followed the basic 1234 cutting how-to that signcut provides in the help section. as for the serial adapter... it is IOgear, heres the link: http://www.iogear.com/product/GUC232A/ any other ideas?

  7. I am a graphic designer so i have dealt with this before. if you have adobe illustrator cs2 (not sure if it is avail. in cs) there is a tool called live trace. since it is a black T and white lettering there is high enough contrast for it to turn it to vectors. i am on a mac so im not exactly sure where it is located on a pc but you shouuld be able to find it. there are also live trace options that you can limit it to 2 colors. once that has completed you can expand and ungroup and you will have your vectors. let me know if that was helpful.

    Anybody help with this one?

    if you have photoshop.... draw a path around the silohette and stroke the path. you can then take that same stroked path into illustrator with a simple copy and paste command. of course the higher res image you have the more detail you can get on the stroked path. hope that is a help

    HI I have been back and forth now with Ken via phone and email, returned one cutter and just recieved the replacement. I am running the latest registered signcut 2x pe on a mac powerbook g4 with the10.4 osx and a PCUT 24in 630 and i cant get any cuts other then the "test rectangle"! I have been searched the forums through and through and tried many settings. signcut is set properly and when i send to cut nothing happens. the cutter just sits there laughing at me. the cutter is online waiting for the commmand but nothing. i am using the serial usb adapter and the light on the adapter lights when i send the file so i know the adapter is working. the driver is even showing up in the signcut x2 program. PLEASE HELP for i have been waiting for 4 months to cut vinyl for my co. www.beansnowboarding.com and others. Thanks!
