haumana 1,220 Posted January 24, 2019 Hmm... I'm stumped I wonder if it's just as bad with another, comparable font. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted January 24, 2019 So if you just type a new Not for hire text on your layout screen, it would do the same? Not use that file. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted January 24, 2019 owned several graphtecs and ve -qe series never had a problem - this is from a ce5000 - last time I saw something like yours on a graphtec the ridge on the blade holder was not under the retainer - the person had it sitting on top of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted January 24, 2019 I just cut that file on my Graphtec and it cut fine. Yes, yours looks much better. Stop using that file. What ever adjustments you are making to it, must be screwing the file up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted January 24, 2019 Different cutters read software differently, But my Graphtec cut fine. I don't think the Q series even have the same boards as a Graphtec. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted January 24, 2019 sounds more like a file saving issue, if you just type it out and it cuts good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll have to get the Settings later but I don’t think it’s a file saving issue because when I Cut it at 6 inches with rounded corners it cuts perfect but cuts sloppy at 3/4” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted January 24, 2019 But when you sent it directly from the layout screen it cut it right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kstill2671 5 Posted January 24, 2019 Ok, this is odd, it has something to do with the auto round feature. Two identical Es, the one on the left I used the auto round feature and the one on the right I rounded the sharp points manually. So apparently it’s not my cutter, the software is jacking it up somehow. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I appreciate all your time you took to try and help me. Looks like if I want to soften corners I’ll just have to do it manually with a little extra work.

Kstill2671 5 Posted January 24, 2019 Thank you everyone who replied, I’m going to keep playing with it and see if I can figure it out. It cuts fine when I manually round the corners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted January 24, 2019 Are you ungrouping or text break apart before doing the auto round feature? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve used text break before but if I remember right I had to use the cleaver on a small area before it would allow me to straighten or round the path Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
