  1. Not sure what it's called in VM but there should be a punch through tool, or difference tool, or something like that to subtract the top shape from the bottom shape leaving you the outline you desire. Be aware though, it is extremely difficult to get an outline like you're wanting to line up perfectly when you install the decal. Layering the decal would be the easier, and pretty standard way of achieving the look.

  2. By adjust settings, are you talking about force, speed, and position, or something else? I don't think I've ever touched the reset button but the speed and force is the standard "ready to cut" screen. The reset button resets the baud rate, clears the memory, move the carriage to the right most position. If you are in the setup screens, To exit from them, you hit the setup button again.

    If Make the Cut isn't working that's something else. Have you tried a different cut software, there are several that offer free trials, and Signblazer is free, there are links on the forums to the location to download a copy.

    Wow- two years seems pretty good for a material in that environment.

     

    i think its a really thin material - almost like a foil of some sort.

    Two years is ok, but how many miles were put on it? I've never had a sport bike tire last two years, at least not a rear tire anyway.


  4. All the colors in that eps are objects and you will simply need to do a cut by color. Although it is building everything on top of the black, so the letters inside the stripes will be a pain. Would be easier to make the stripes and star field solid then add the black letters on top.

  5. One thing I'd suggest altering, the USCutter logo at the top, rather than have the link take you to the forum home page, I'd have it take you to the USCutter web page. I never understood why so many company forums don't have links back to their main webpage.


  6. Noveo Sans Black is pretty close to Farmall, the middle line of the F is a tad to long, and the legs of the L need to be a little longer, but the A, R, and M look pretty good.

    Objektiv MK3 Black is a pretty close match to McCormick although the M and C will need work.

    Not me, not so far anyway... But this is the first time I've been able to use the new forum. Absolutely didn't work at all yesterday and today. I finally did an upgrade on avast anti-virus and now tonight it works. Don't know if something at the server changed or it was just avast, but now I can see and work with the forum. I'm just not too fond of what I'm seeing... Too difficult to just get the latest posts like the old forum. Maybe I'll get used to it??? But thank goodness it now works!!!

     

    How did you do it in the old forum?

    I do agree the unread content is a bit bulky. I also have not yet found a way to go to the first unread post. The links either take you to the first post of the topic, or the last post. :(

  8. When clicking on the view unread link, is there a way to jump to the first unread post of the topic that I'm not seeing? I'm really going to miss that function if it's not there anymore. :(

    Is it finished?  Seems empty.

    Is there a place to check for NEW CONTENT SINCE LAST VISIT?

    Looks like the only option is the "unread content" link in the top right.

    Feel is certainly different, going to take some time to get use to for sure.
