I just downloaded the trial version of Signcut pro, just for the heck of it... saved a file in version 8 .ai and opened it in Signcut, no problems. It does say open... This is my first time ever using it. It didn't crash, bounce, jump or fly...

maybe if you could post up your file, maybe someone can figure it out are you importing the files? Most cutting software requires importing, not opening. I don't have Signcut, but just a thought. I noticed in another thread, you said "opening". the files in Signcut. Your statement below.... Rendering these into EPS 8 then opening them up in SignCut is hit and miss. The cuts that I need to make are not there in some, and in others, there are HUGE LINES that are about 6x as big as the image. And with a 20"x30" image, you can imagine the size.

great, glad you got it going correctly

If your cutting thru the vinyl backing the blade is out too far or to much force. If you haven't read the newbie manual, start there. Download in first post

download inkscape.org vectorising in Inkscape Posted by Levi Hartzog on 16 January 2009 02:31 PM This walk through explains the basics of vectorising in Inkscape. Step 1) Import your image. Click File>Import, find your file and click OK. Step 2) Select the image, go to the top of the screen, click Path>Trace Bitmap. Step 3) The Trace Bitmap menu will then open. Here you can select how you want your image vectorised and adjust the settings. You can also generate a preview. Once you are happy with the preview click OK and close the Trace Bitmap screen. Step 4) Now you will have your new vector image and the old raster (bitmap, jpeg, gif etc) image stacked on top of each other. Seperate the two and delete the raster. Step 5) Play around with your new vector image!

yes, click save as.. in the file format you want..

every thing you cut has to be a vector file. Your cutter only cuts outlines...illustrator has automatic trace, read your manual... import your design, ,, click object> live trace> make and expand, save in whatever file format you want.

did you vector/trace the original image in illustrator? You can't just save it as an .eps file. It has to BE a vector file first.Then save it as an .eps file

the forum belongs to UScutter

there are some designs "similar" to those in Signblazer library under stars

I was kinda curious to see why they JUST changed their user name from chixwithtrix to current user name. SV26. Wonder what the trix were?? Just not enough trix to run a vinyl cutter.

those are real simple designs, why aren't you making them with your vinyl cutter?

congrats on your upgrade.. BIG difference in a hobby cutter vs a Pro cutter don't you think? great job

it's still there, for you to buy, you can't get it when it's in a quote, I don't think it picks up the entire link, so it showed not a good item, removed, I noticed that last night when I clicked on the link in a quote, http://cgi.ebay.com/Martha-Stewart-Edition-Cricut-Cake-Cutting-Machine-NEW-/270773618707?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f0b5d8813

SURE you will return, YOU still need help getting any cutter you purchase up and running.... Good luck with that,

Maybe he should consider Cricut Expressions....I see where alot of places have those on sale...Even Martha Stewart, put her name on those for making cake icing. etc. LOOK AT THIS BEAT UP BOX LOL Now there is a winner!!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/Martha-Stewart-Edition-Cricut-Cake-Cutting-Machine-NEW-/270773618707?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f0b5d8813

buy the BEST that you can afford,...from any vinyl cutter business.

oh, and make sure and get an extra hard drive for your cutter, you might need a spare....

on the .ai file there is nothing there... the pdf file opens, antlers on a bee hive

If it's under warranty , hopefully replace it. or send you every new part to get it going....LOL I have seen other power supplys go out on here and get fixed. That's why they have the parts on the website. Here it is, not even a real expensive part $40.00 http://www.uscutter.com/Creation-PCUT-Power-Supply-for-24-Cutter-CRPPWRSUP

ok I can understand that...

you could try contacting SAI(Flexi) for the driver. They have all the updated drivers for all the newer computers.
