NatDragon 0 Posted November 3, 2010 I am ready to go out of my mind! I'm pouring over this subject, trying all the suggestions, and it's looking like I need a "Text from Illustrator to SignCut for Dummies" tutorial!!!! My cutter is flipping out and cutting all kinds of crazy things when I try to cut text! Shapes, no problem. I know I have the letters converted to paths - compound paths. Is that the problem? I've tried them with and without shapes and fills. Could anyone just point me in the right direction? There are a few different answers here and I don't get whether I need to do all of them or if they are just different methods to achieve the same thing.

hockeygirl 30 Posted November 3, 2010 First, did you remember to save your AI file in version 8 or older? If so, does it look normal when you pull it up on SignCut? And what does it do when you "play" it from the cut window? If it doesn't look like what it should cut, then it's your vectors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
