Hi, my first post! I'm currently using Inkscape to design with and SignBlazer 6 to cut. My text looks ok in Inksape but when imported into SignBlazer the bottom of the text is cropped (see photos). I'm only fairly new at this and can't find what I'm doing wrong; I'm sure it must be simple. I have tried two different fonts with the same results but I'm certain that's not the issue. Thanks in advance.

Sorted; not 100% but near enough for me. My method using Inkscape was; Path>Object to Path, Object>Ungroup, Align bottom edge (bottom line of text only), Object>Group. The main issue with this method is that the text can no longer be edited as text, well I couldn't find a way. If there is a letter such as a "g" that letter should not be selected. Thanks again for all your help.

Thanks very much for the replies, I had no idea that some fonts are designed like that, it's no wonder I can't change it and have been pulling my hair out trying to sort it. I'll have to have a better look at SB for text etc it's just that Inkscape has a lot of features that I need because the text is constantly changing to suit different sized signs and I have another box around the text box that needs to be centered each time I make a change not to mention circles in my template that I need to dodge. I look into it in more depth tomorrow. Cheers.

Yes they are being cut off and yes I am using eps file format. Iv'e tried a few things today including your suggestion but having no luck as yet but it looks like I've found the issue. See my reply to "slice&dice". Cheers.

"Weed All" now unchecked. I'm going to stick with using Inkscape as I'm getting used to it and haven't had issues with other projects and don't really want to start learning another programme. SBE has been good and it looks like Iv'e found the issue with Inkscape (see screenshot), the "5" is lower than the "1" but haven't worked out how to rectify it as yet. Thanks again.
