Hope this is correct area. Bought my SC cutter Christmas 2012, has worked great over the years, my specific XP computer passed away RIP. I have replaced it but I can not find my software disc after 9 years, noticed on uscutter site the software (Sir cuts alot) is available for download, BUT I need a serial number, I don't remember there being one. And apparently I have a different email It is in storage locker and was going to get it out this weekend and do some cutting Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Okay sounds good, thanks

Wife bought 2 colors and wants me to make graphics for the pontoon boat, I don't have a program or don't know how to use cutsalot I need a file like above that is 5 inches tall with 1-1/4 inch dips on a 4 inch spacing with a flat bottom, say 8 feet long (I good then make any length I need from it) So she will have 2 color "waves" down the sides I can then cut them out Can someone help or lead me to a tutorial for sir cuts alot to make what I need? TIA

Worked great once i got the wave shape, I did 4 ft pcs, so they could be lined up better, wife was worried after 1st color, it was too formal and not random Then when i did the grey, it varies just in ht and placement enough to look 3d-ish again thankyou!

David, thank you! I have done 6 ft, so 8 shouldn't be any harder,

it is oracol 651, and the software came with 24 inch cutter I bought from here several years ago I will check for videos, I dint think of youtube, thank you

thanks

thanks!

thanks snagged it FBHO

Question, I have been playing alittle with a picture; I want to do a multi color layup 1) converted and imported to SCALP - check 2) exploded and parts moved to seperate pages, with page 1 having the registration marks and so and so- check so this is when I realized that the different pages are not actually different layers( I can right click on the pages and see the layers associated with each page, they just don't seem to be linked together) so now I need to start over and have everything on one page and then layers (i figured out and played with opening and closing the eye to hide layers) How do I actually move these parts to seperate layers? I "thought" that just exploding/seperating drawing (unweld) would create the layers that didn't seem to work The Cad programs I can just click and change layers and continue to draw dependant on which layer is visible Thank you

Thank you!! I will study the differences ...cheers

This is what I started with, thanks for the helpHello_Kitty.eps

oops this forumn is so different than others I post on,see word document below cut path hello kity Picture broke apart.doc

Ok I cut vinyl and it will work just had issues I attatched screen shots with word see I have 5 colors Notice Black shows a solid pc, when selected it cut the entire design and on the red instead of just the bow it cut the entire design in pink so after weeding I had this I invisioned having a black out line,laying white down, then pink and finish with the yellow what am I doing wrong? . . . . . Also question on layers, do each page have it's own layers? if so what is purpose of multiple pages for the same "job" Thanks as always

Sweet truck.....oops back on topic I got the cut by color that will work thank you . . New problem I made 2 registration marks ( a couple diamonds) and made them a different color than the rest of the stuff I went to cut by color, selected first color and then (from searching ) hit control and the registration color to select both colors.........errrrr...Fail So I sit and ponder, time for wine and play some more 2morrow night Are registration marks "anything" you make? or is there a drop down window....hidden by some force I have yet to master? Thank you for the help so far!!!!! I am bound and determined to get this cut this weekend..........only 4 more days LOL

Thank you!

Not sure if this will help someone or not,it was knda fun to do . . . I recieved my 34 SC cutter yesterday evening (I ordered on tue) Very good job with packing After labels where stuck on the box,they wrapped it in very heavy plastic and banded it,they even folded the ends down so water would run off and not in! Very good job with packing So I unpacked it and was upset that there wasn't an assembly sheet included,I really wanted to read the 2nd grade chinese Spanglish everyone talks about...oh well I laid all the parts out and they all looked like they were there so I proceed to assemble First casters, easy with a 1/2 wrench,notice the holes are tapped after welding nuts so no problems laid out the screws 4 machine screws for the roller mounts and the rest self tappers notice end of extruded tubes have 4 "grooves for screws to thread into they line up with 4 holes in caster plates

y !!!!!!!!!!!THIS IS THE CORRECT OREINTATION OF THE ROLLER BRACKETS!!!!!!!! correct way and Slice and Dice I apoligize for the other pictures right side left side !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THIS IS THE CORRECT OREINTATION OF THE ROLLER BRACKETS!!!!!!!!

mmm...thank you,I thought I had removed those? So I will say they are on backwards in those pictures I will take a correct picture and fix it

So have been trying edit by ways I am used to On my first project The mass Turtle revival,I figured out that by "weld-ing" the turtles together It cut only the outline and left the eyes out of the cut program,exactly what I wanted it to do. Now I am messing around with some fonts. specifically magneto bold (I like the flowing emblems of the old cars) When the font is welded together the cut profile is perfectly smooth and flows just as I want on the outside of the letters. BUT It doesn't cut all the inside parts of the letters a,o,d for example. when I unweld the text it will cut all lines including inside and all the overlapping lines that were hidden by the "weld" process. I know what "I" want to do...I want to "trim" all these over-lapping lines like I would in mastercam or auto cadd to create a smooth tool path So this is what I did, messing with the node things,I couldn't figure out how to add or delete them so I just modified them. I am sure there is a better faster way...move,look, crap..move back..etc.. I have attatched this to show I did try Top is what I started with. I will probably import this font to one of my cadd/cam programs and save it as a DXF and go from there so emblem will flow better as one unit motorlodgeq.svg

Thankyou,ugh shadow...saw it and said "I don't want to put a shadow on it" Is there a cutter dictionary?every occupation uses different terms,time to watch more videos So little time to divide up projects! Thank you again,

Thankyou for this post

I am waiting for my SC cutter to show up, tracking says out for delivery at 6:34 am. Will I have to install all updates or just version 3.042 (or latest)? TIA

Thanks Jay,just to update for newbies...the lastest version worked great by its self

I took about 13 min to cut out the 14 turtles (about 2-3/4 x 3-3/8)that gave me enough time to cut them out and apply backing before next batch I havent reset the blade depth since it looks good,the major pc of "weed" came off in one pc with no pullups and the paper backing hardly has a scratch in it
