  1. xyz, to get the full circle like you want, in step 3, do not include the red circle when you union the brown, green and blue.

    Then duplicate the red and do a difference between the red and blue. If you were to slide the blue out a little you should see that it is now the shape you want.

    You can now either take the difference between the black and the red, or just leave it as is and when you send it to the cutter cut all 3 colors at the same time.


  2. Not sure why you're getting the vertical lines, unless when you pull the file into SB it is closing the object, but what is drawn in Inkscape should cut like you want. That being said, the more reliable way would be to use the union and difference to make all the individual objects a single object. I'm am unable to see the images posted by dcbevins but here is my guess as to what you intended the cut to be along with step by step instructions of how I achieved the look in Inkscape.

     

    *note, just noticed my step 4 is incorrect, it should read difference between black and blue.

  3. I vaguely recall this being discussed in the past but am not having any luck finding the topic. The only thing I really remember was the suggestion to use Chrome rather than IE, unfortunately that is not an option. Does anyone have a solution to the problem of not being able to paste text/links when posting here when using IE 11.

     

    Or for that matter, does anyone else have this problem, or is it just me? I don't have this problem on other forums I visit, so it's something unique to this one.


  4. Wildgoose, in regards to the odd sizes of the Chinese cutters. I believe they are measuring the space between the sides, not the actual cutting area. So while you could fit a 28" piece of material in the machine, about 3.5" of that is taken up by the cutter head and about half an inch with the holder so you really can only cut 24" wide material. But advertising it as a 28" cutter sounds better than a 24" cutter.

  5. That is the first result that WhatFontis.com came back with as well.

     

    Trick for getting online font identifiers to work on script like this is to edit the image and break apart the individual letters.


  6. All of the above statements should have worked. The drag/fill option can be turned off so it could be possible that is the case but the copy/paste option should still have worked.

     

    Personally I would of froze the table at the second line and edited the formula in the H, I , and J column with an if statement so that it appears blank rather than 0. You could also use conditional formatting so that the cells are all white until data is entered into the row. This is all just aesthetics and personal preference though,
