Well they woke back up and now I know why. When I activate the knife blade offset it starts. I think it has to do with the software making a small cut to pre align the blade for the first cut. This cut is never inside of my design it is always exactly where the origin is marked. When using my plotter for plot fill you can't ever tell that you have blade offset set o not so now when I am using the pen I just select pen as my tool and it is pretty programmed with the knife offset off. When I use the blade I just select knife. This has bitterly drove me crazy. Haha

Strange thing is i have done that once before so im not sure if maybe i got a bad install or something maybe.

Ok so i get home and i think ok i am going to download and install the drivers one more time from us cutter for flexi and now boom problem has gone away. Been playing with random cuts or plots this afternoon and all is good. Marks are gone.

updated the driver off of uscutter website.

This is my computer at work and i only installed it so i could look while at work. Pay no attention to the setting that are listed b/c mine at home are not the same. This is not the computer i cut on. I am at work i only installed the program for these reason to look at setting and study while at work to figure out the issue.

yeah driver based i guess

oh and i am using the LIYU cut driver for the us cutter sc model.

They will not support it other than in email. Called them 3 times. They do not even remote or phone support version 10 now either. I asked about the remote log in and he simply said im sorry but product support for version 8.6 is available by email only. Production Manager Right click on your plotter and go to default job properties. click on the cutter icon on the top left of screen. cutter options at the bottom of the page. This is my computer at work and i only installed it so i could look while at work. Pay no attention to the setting that are listed b/c mine at home are not the same.

What about on your cutting tools properties? like is it set to pen, or knife or none? I have no idea why it does this. Its about aggravating. I do ahve a dumb question but do you have team viewer? have ya log into my computer or vice versa and compare the notes or maybe facebook chat while going through them sometime. There has to be something set up by default that is making this happen.

Same here.i also set up in the property manager and in my computers device manager the properties for hardware to match also?.. I have uninstalled, re installed and so on. I even had the issue years ago when i had flexistarter 8.5 so i am at a loss.

Really? What plotter are you running and are you using serial or usb connection?

I wish scalp would have a pen fill option. I would use it for everything too....

So for some reason The guys at sai called me back about flexi. They do not support 8.6 or 10 on the phone only email. He also stated that there was no way or reason for the software to cut a small line at the start of a job??? UMMMM yes there is b/c it does. It has happened on both my plotters. So here is my question. Is there anyone out there using flexisign pro v 8.6 . I would like to look at setting and things like that to compare. I even had another plotter with flexi 8.5 starter and it did the same thing so i am really confused.....

This is not for things i do all the time. Just for special occasions, When i want a specific look to something. I just want to be able to do it when i want to. I have a 24" cannon color plotter for printing.

I wish lol. Yes I know this probably sounds like I am being picky but there has to be something out there somewhere.
