It has to be on the Scap mat to cut, anything that over hangs the design "mat" will not cut.

 

Then you either need to rotate your design to vertical before cutting or select "Cutter" - "Mat Orientation" (also in the right hand "DOCUMENT" box)  to change how it sends it to the cutter.

 

After hitting cut tab use the preview image to confirm your cut orientation.

 

Then end of this thread has pics and tips that may help.

You didn't state what cutter you have,  That is a very large design, I hope that your cutter has enough memory for it...I think I would try it with a pen first, so that you don't waste that much vinyl.

maybe post some screen shots of your Scalp. set up.  That cutter is very limited on memory.

 

Can't you use Winpcsign with this cutter?   You can also use FREE Signblazer.

 

You are using Windows OS  correct?   And you are using the correct driver in SCALP?

Are you referring to "Tiling" your vector image to cut it in several pieces?

Or perhaps you can break you sign into several other pieces.

 

If so, check the following threads;

One way to clear the plotter memory is to turn it off then back on.
