thanks for reply

can u tell more ?

how i can delet the layer?

Try to left click on it and hold it down and see if you can drag it to the side then the other should still be there and delete one of them

vectormagic makes more than one layer for some reason. i am just learning vm. in signblazer, you can just select and delete the extra image. if you delete something you did not want to delete, just undo until you get back what you want. what i do is select and drag an item. if that item is duplicated there will still be a copy in its original position. if not i just undo my last operation. hope this helps

Sign cut will usually have an red x through it if there is more than 1 layer?

I don't have Illy but if you can select all and split the objects the other layer may show up if that what it is.

Simple Text I would have just used SB so much easier  ;D

It is a signcut setting probably.

In Signcut set numbers of turns in the last cutting screen to 1.

if it is set to 2 it cuts all twice or more.

You can also try with the preview to see it cuts once or more after you have changed.

No need to realtime cutting vinyl to check.

If I am not sure what I have done I always check with the preview and wait to see what it does till the end. This way I found and removed many starter errors! ;-)
