I have a MH365-MK2 and SCAL3P that has worked perfectly until today when I need to get work done. I am using this to print out vinyl decals.
Now when I am sending the files from SCAL to my cutter, instead of being arranged across the width of the cutter, my designs are getting cut pretty much anywhere the cutter feels like cutting them. Is cutting images twice, cutting half an image one way, then 90º another direction, and cutting some of a design in one place, then scrolling down my vinyl roll to cut the rest of it. I have wasted over 2' of vinyl this morning and am about to chuck this thing out the window.
I am running OSX 10.10.2 (Yosemite), SCAL3P 3.070.
I've added a picture of what I sent to the cutter vs what actually being cut. It seems like 2 of the circles are oriented correctly and maybe the two small semicircles south of the dragon, but the rest of the dragons are oriented 90º the opposite way.
My process for this is that I import it into SCAL (cmnd+shift+i), resize it using the tool on the right, then hold down shift and rotate the image 90º to (theoretically) save space when cutting vinyl.
I'm just at a loss for words with the bow and arrow. How half of it is done almost correctly below the dragon and the other half is way on the other side of the vinyl is beyond me. And to finish it off, when this is done cutting, the blade and roll does not revert to origin point. Please help before I recreate that scene from Office Space.
TIA!
