Phaedrus, I dont have the problem of my blade going off my vinyl. Like you said they dont give much instruction on these machines, so i did a search on the web and it said to remove the clear tape over it ,but it was a different brand they were talking about in the video i found.I ended up calling Uscutter and asking about it and they had no clue what i was talking about so i had to deeply explain in detail what it was lol ,he finally went and looked at a titan2 and realized oh, there is a tape on it and he said you could remove it if needed but not a big deal unless your blade starts pulling it up etc , which mine doesnt even touch it .. lol.. By then i had already removed it , cleaned off the residue and i have had no problems at all..My Titan2 works like a dream. just learning the software is challenging but now that im using Adobe illustrator and sending my work directly to SCALP3(now SCALP4) free upgrade and what a difference wow.I love it ..

I just started using vector magic a little and i think its alot easier to use than inscape in my own opinion... i got it thru a friend for free.

scalp4 is a major improvement especially with text arching . its like using Ai or photoshop now. 1000% better .. when did you get scalp3 with your cutter ? i got scalp4 free with serial from craftedge and i just found out they got the Ai plugin done and ready on their website,, awesome

Welcome From Far Northern California. it all works the same basically just different type of material .
-
you have to give it time... it lags bad ..i get it once in awhile in mine. ihave scalp4 now and i havent had it happen yet . knock on wood lol
-
you just got SCALP3 recently ? i just got my new cutter with SCALP3 about a month ago and found out that scalp4 came out and they wanted money for it,So i wrote craftedge an email about the lag issue and that the fact i wasnt told about the new SCALP4 release and i got a return email with SCALP4 with the serial for free, It might be worth a try for you to do the same or anyone ,It worked for me atleast lol...

I do know that SCALP 4 has some major improvements especially when it comes to arching your text..If you just bought the scalp3 recently like i did within the last few months, i contacted craftedge and complained about scalp3 issues and not knowing that SCALP4 was coming out and that the update cost was alot and they gave me SCALP4 for free with serial, So know i have the better Software.. Its 100% better than what scalp3 was for sure..They just havent taken of the Adobe Illustrator Plugin yet. Well worth getting it tho..

No problem Moody

What software did you create this in?
-
The new SCALP 4 is ready for Ai .. If you just bought the scalp 3 recently, you can get 4 for free with serial, just send craftedge an email explaining you just got it and they should send you a link to download the new Scalp4 and include the serial.Thats what i did and i got it for nothing.

Awesome .Works great, Hope to see updates if there is any

I just upgraded my SCALP 3 to SCALP 4 for free and what a difference .I just got my new cutter titan 2 and the Scalp 3 about a month ago so i wrote them and told them i was not aware of the new version coming out and wasnt happy how SCALP 3 was so laggy sometimes and the next thing you know i get an email with my new serial for SCALP 4 Pro fully activated.. I was excited and the new features are amazing ,even the ARCH text feature is 100% better and so much easier to use and many many added features that just rock.....But beyond that, i, having a issue now even before i did the upgrade. So im hoping some one can help,I can no longer import my svg into my Scalps when its created in Ai.This started happening after my scalp 3 was upgraded last week before i knew of the SCALP 4. ive tried reinstalling the plugins etc but i cant send to scalp thru script or import svgs now..So im hoping a smart brainer has a clue for me .. But the SCALP 4 is just awesome...SSOOOOOOO much EASIER AND BETTER TO WORK IN AND AROUND INSIDE THE PROGRAM..

Ok, I got it going so far..Knock on Wood ,,,Is there a way to reset Ai To Complete Default ? just in case there is a mess up somewhere?
-
I use Ai CS6 Easy. And Goose that might be what im doing wrong is using the merge but i thought i was using it before with no problems, but maybe cause i go from scalp and back to Ai all the time i might be confusing them up.But i would rather keep using Ai for all my work cause it is easier than scalp alone..Is there a chance i could have also changed a setting in Ai to help screw things up? Also when i create a new document in ai ,the screen asks me if its For Print,Web,Basic, or RGB, What should it be ? And the next thing it asks is color mode CMYK Or RGB? Then Raster effects for ppi, 72,150 or 300? . . Do i need to worry about the ppi at all or doest it matter on the PPI ....I know That im burying myself in a hole here with my problems to everyone, but not knowing what or where to go for accurate help gets me overwhelmed since i was doing perfect until the other day and its eating at me bad inside .
I will recheck on the union goose and cross my fingers, i just need to get back to where i was doing ok with this without having to bug others cause we all have lives instead of dealing with people like me on here,,,You have no idea how much any help means to me .Thank you EVERYONE.. I will let you know what happens good or bad ..Dwayne
Oh Goose, i forgot ,, when i create my text , its a filled color for example pink for a girl,, For example -for a front windshield--> ROCK WARRIOR ,will be solid using the font callie hand,I can change view to outline and thats when i see the nodes overlapping and the cuts will cut over each other .....And i dont see anything that says unite, just group and join, i do have Ai in the ESSENTIALS selection if that matters.

I understand what you guys are saying, And ive tried scalps text on path lol. Like Eazy said it sucks. I know im still learning But i know im making a simple mistake somewhere when it comes to saving the text as a svg for scalp Or doing the script option, the Nodes in the letters are overlapping and will cause a multi cut over each other, I just need to know what im doing wrong when i save etc So my letters are all merged etc when brought into SCALP..
-
Sorry if i missed the info in another thread or post, but trying to find an exact answer isnt easy when there is so many questions being asked differently etc.I tried searching other posts for what i need help with and made comments in other posts and im not getting anywhere cause either someone doesn't use Ai Or Scalps together and i cant find
anyone who is using these 2 programs as 1....
For some reason i lost my way of creating a text with and without an arch (Half Moon ) in Ai and saving or exporting it correctly to scalp. The last few tries when i save it as a SVG and bring it into scalp, i have nodes overlapping each other which will cause cuts to over lap instead of being a merged text image,When i worked in Ai before and saved for a svg to bring into scalps i had no problems, but now i am... , So im hoping a Ai and Scalps pro will please explain the retarded steps for me . I just seem to lost my mind for a second.
If someone would be able to create a video on this ,I would be willing to offer a 5.00 Donation to your paypal lol ..

Something is up. cant get it work . im screwed, i have a few jobs to do and i need to figure this out again.. guess i need to start over somehow

Ya Skarekrow, i dont see where it will let me transform like you say it will. I dont know why im losing how to do this all off a sudden,
-
I understand thank you lol
-
Thanks Skeeter, I forgot about that lol .But when i do that it still does the same thing, my text isnt connected still ...

HEEELLLLLPPPPPPP !!!Hey Eazy or 30-284 ,im hoping you guys or someone can help and for some reason im brain cramping on this ,Im still new to this whole thing of vectors and svg. but i created a txt in Ai and i saved it as a svg, but when i open it in SCALP it shows where my letters all over lap nodes to the next letter instead having them all connected as one. I tried to figure out how to put my image in here for someone to see but havent figured it out yet. I tried looking for a post about nodes in ai and scalp in the forums but no one has started one to explain how to save,or convert from ai to scalp so im really lost now.
I wish someone would take the time to have a post on this for others to explain what to do in Ai and how to save etc to get it to SCALP the correct way ...
