    Cutting smoothly

    Also make 100% certain you are cutting the correct file and not the old one over and over. As it looks like a trace of low quality artwork that is being cut out. Also, try cutting a square shape and see how that comes out.

    How do I cut outlines?

    If that B is perfectly straight lines in the software then there is an issue with the cutter itself as the commands sent to the cutter will be telling the cutter to go from point X to point Y and nothing in between as shown in the photos.

    How do I cut outlines?

    That looks like a trace of a bitmap without any clean up. Using text will be razor sharp - unless the font has been designed to look like this. The shape could also be made with the Polyline tool (red pencil icon) on left side.

    Help, multiple computers

    You can install the software onto as many computers as you like and then design your work and save it off. However, if you want to output from a particular computer then it needs to be Activated and you get one Activation per license. Note: You can always Deactivate a computer and Activate another as many times as you like.
  7. Unless you have set a different install path (destination folder) than standard there isn't much that you can screw up. Run the downloaded installation file, which you can access from here: http://fcws1.com/usc.htm
  8. The first thing to do is re-run the installation and uncheck Install Thumbnail Previewer in the last Setup window: Also there are many other possible issues with the most common explained here: The Software is not functioning properly?

  10. Break apart (Curve menu), move off the outer shape and cut it out.

    Arc text is only available in VinylMaster LTR and above. If you have CUT it will not have Arc text, if however, you do have LTR or above please lodge a ticket with support so a tech can take a look at the issue: Future Support

    Cutting from Higher Version

    Yes that can be done in either direction.
  21. VinylMaster

    Cutting from Higher Version

    Yes so long as they are the same version i.e. any V4 file will open in any level of V4. However a V4 file will not open in V1, 2 or 3 as the V4 file has elements which are unrecognized by the earlier versions.

    Cutting Sideways

    This website covers most of these issues: Tech FAQ A couple of example sections: Questions in Setup Questions in Cutting Problems
  23. This looks like the same artwork (graphic) but in different colors, and not separate parts of some multi-color artwork. Also, when you refer to an image this means: bitmap, picture, scan or photograph. So please refer to vectors as either curves, paths or vector artwork so we know which you mean
