    Adjusting The Weed Box Size

    personally, i usually just make my own weed boxes, because I like to be able to draw in the relief lines where they make sense on how I weed things.
  2. I've tried different vector software, and so far, I've found that Inkscape produces the cleanest results, truer to the raster image than other vector engines. The only other software that I found to be better is Vector Magic, but Vector Magic is not free, but it can do colors. You can give this a try since you're getting into embroidery: https://inkstitch.org/
  3. an alternative would be to post one of the files, so another forum member can try cutting it and seeing what kind results we get. i agree with skeeter to see if another software will do the same thing.

    [Hello, how can I deactivate my Sigmaster from another computer? My PC was stolen and I don't remember my email.] Póngase en contacto directamente con el fabricante del software para ello. [Contact software manufacturer directly for that.]
  5. Not sure if it applies to this software or not, but will have multiple layers of the graphic cause it to cut multiple times? I know that SBE does, which comes in might handy for me at times.
  6. Excellent advice. Mahalo!
  7. Anyone else out there that runs a Graphtec CE6000-60 Plus & Graphtec Studio setup? I recently did a quick text cut, and noticed that the cut text was smaller then what I had laid out in the workspace. I thought that this was kind of odd, and was concerned that the overall scale was off, but when I checked all the setting, it's all set 100%. I then cut a 3" square, and it was spot on, so I'm wondering if this is just the text that's doing this, and if it is, has anyone else ran into this situation - and if there's a fix.
  8. I'm not impressed with the program either, but I use it in a bind or if I'm just cutting simple text. Though now I know that it cannot be trusted to give me accurate test sizes
  9. Got it. Thanks! not sure why it needs to be that hard. I typed out all caps, and thought it would the right size. Maybe I should be considering SCALP
  10. Thank you. I must have totally missed that
  11. Hello - I'm wondering if anyone knows what the compatible blade is for the Titan 2 machine. My niece just got a machine (second hand), and I want to pick-up a couple of Clean Cut Blades for her, but am not sure which to select. TIA.
  12. I was setting the font height by using the pull handles to get them to be 5/8" (0.625) high (in Graphtec Studio). I ended up with something just under a 1/2"
  13. Live text. It was just a basic sans-serif font, Helvetica.

    The Cutter will not show up as a printer or device on your computer. It will be detectable via whatever software you are using to send jobs to the cutter. So, we need to know what software you are using, and we can help guide you from there.

    How to add Roland gs24 to scal5 pro?

    Have you tried to reach out to SCALP or hit up their forum and see if anyone can assist you?
  16. If you are able to, download Inkscape (inkscape.org), and you can use that program to vectorize some of your artwork. It's an open source (freeware) program, and has a very good vectorizing engine.

    Flexi 8.5 help needed

    If you're getting the blue screen repeatedly, then there is something fundamentally going wonky with the OS. You might want to back up all your data, deactivate any software that can be, then reformat your machine. Even if you can get your cutter connected, the blue screen will keep on happening unless the issue is resolved. If you have assigned COM 2 for your cutter, then you should be selecting COM 2 in Flexi, not USB 2.

    Got it. You can definitely change your screen resolution, so that everything becomes scaled bigger for you, or as Slice & Dice suggested, to increase the display to a larger percentage. Another great option is to hold the CTRL key and press the + key, that should enlarge what you're looking at.

    Flexi 8.5 help needed

    Yes, that cable should do it. Cutter > Null Modem Cable > Keyspan > USB Cable > Computer
  20. Google translation: "Good afternoon, I bought the vinyl cmaster v5 software and I cannot activate it as I do, please, it is urgent that I need to use it." You should contact the software company directly. We cannot assist with software activation issues. (Debe comunicarse directamente con la empresa de software. No podemos ayudar con problemas de activación de software.)

    Flexi 8.5 help needed

    Okay, let's try to get a handle on this - If you're wanting to use the serial connection on your cutter, then you need a null modem cable, not a "non null modem". Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-10-Feet-RS232-Serial-SCNM9FF/dp/B00006B8BJ/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3SXMKWWEG0E4X&keywords=null+modem+cable&qid=1707691977&sprefix=null+modem+cabl%2Caps%2C196&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1 That will tie into your keyspan, which you probably need to install the driver for, which you can find here: https://tripplite.eaton.com/support/downloads?type=software&subtype=31 Once you have the driver installed, and the cutter connected to you computer, go to Device Manager and see which COMPort was assigned by Windows. Make sure that you either reassign it, or that it's in the range between 1 and 4, no higher. Once you've verified which COMPort Windows is using for your Serial USB, go to Flexi, and make sure that the software is using the same COM number that is listed in the Device Manager. There should only be one.

    Flexi 8.5 help needed

    Is the serial cable you're using a 'null modem'? Did your keyspan come with direction for a driver for the adapter? If you think Flexi is wanting to use COM3, then you can try and go into your Device Manager and reassign the Keyspan to be designated at COM3.

    Please, please, please do no write in all caps. I also bought my first cutter from eBay, it was new, direct from US Cutter. You did not specify whether your cutter was new or used, but based on your response, I'm going to hazard a guess that it was used. You might want to check with the seller to see if they still have that information. If they do not, then your "free" option is to use SignBlazer. Slice & Dice was kind enough to provide the link for you. Again, pause your antivirus software to install SignBlazer.

    Welcome to the forum. If possible, please try not to post in all caps, as I almost mistook it for spam, and came close to deleting the post all together. Have you consulted the manual for your cutter? It will guide you on how to properly setup your machine, including steps for connecting it via USB MH Manual: https://uscutter.com/content/PDFs/MH_Manual_09172019.pdf You do not need free cutting software, as it should've come bundled with VinylMaster Cut. Which can be downloaded here: https://uscutter.estore.software/downloads provided that you have your PSN (Product Serial Number), which should have been included with the cutter. If you truly want "freeware," then search this forum for the SignBlazer Elements download. You will need to disable your antivirus to install the software, but rest assured that if you downloaded it via this forum, it is malware and virus free. Please also note, that the original creator of the software has long passed away that the only means of 'support' is probably through this forum, which is contributed by volunteers. Good luck, happy cutting, and please keep us posted on your progress.

    Flexi 8.5 help needed

    ^^ This. The COMPort has to be 1 - 4, nothing higher.
