tnt_racing 3 Posted May 24, 2010 I use PhotoImpact X3 to convert photos to black and white image (clipart). I then open the b&w in Inkscape and trace the bitmap to create a vector image. Then I import into SBE to cut. However, sometimes, I want to edit the nodes to clean up the image a little in SBE(I find that node editing is simpler in SBE than Inkscape), but when I click Edit Nodes, and the stop editing, the image disappears. Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do to fix it. Also, when I start, save, import, or do just about anything in SBE, the trial mode screen comes up, and counts up the number of times I have used the program (currently counting to over 250). I have done everything that I have found to get rid of this screen, to no avail. Any help here? Thanks, Jeremy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do to fix it. I have found when this happens it is usually bacause there are breaks in the geometry or crossing lines. CAn you post one of the SB files?
