Hello,

Please setup SignCut-X2 to use rotation of 90-degrees in the Cutter-dialogue.

Then when importing image, click the Tab-key on the keyboard to quickly rotate your artwork to save vinyl.

You can also click Shift+Tab to always rotate the selected colour(s) or image to minimize vinyl usage.

Please see our online manual for more help:

http://www.sc-x2.com/online_manual.html

Also click on the "Cut by colour" under the tutorials to read more about the rotation.

Here are some useful shortcuts:

[tt]These shortcuts are very handy, especially the rotation and mirroring which is

easy to remember.

a simple text or one-colour signs. As easy as 1-2-3-4 :)[/tt]

For rotating the image or lettering you want to cut, I would just use the rotate tools in SignCut, and not the 0deg/ 90deg

and this way the weed frame never disappears.
