  1. Flexistarter is not capable of vectorizing, it is entry level cutting software, You need to spend ALOT of money to get that feature in a FLEXI product. but there is a great FREE software that you can use . www.inkscape.org to vectorize and design in. follow directions and save as an .eps file import into Flexistarter. Goodluck. Step 1) Import your image. Click File>Import, find your file and click OK. Step 2) Select the image, go to the top of the screen, click Path>Trace Bitmap. Step 3) The Trace Bitmap menu will then open. Here you can select how you want your image vectorised and adjust the settings. You can also generate a preview. Once you are happy with the preview click OK and close the Trace Bitmap screen. Step 4) Now you will have your new vector image and the old raster (bitmap, jpeg, gif etc) image stacked on top of each other. Seperate the two and delete the raster. Step 5) Play around with your new vector image!
  2. Didn't you state that when using Signcut, it cut perfect? If so, then it is in your settings.... What version of Flexi are you using? What driver? Have you tried a different driver? Have you tried a drop of oil in the blade holder? 3-1, sewing machine, graphite, etc. different blade? different vinyl? I can't answer about the blade, I don't have that machine. And you might be expecting too much from an inexpensive cutter. I have no clue what your trying to cut. But from peoples comments on here, the Pcut on up.. will cut better at small details than the MH series cutters.
  3. your pen tool only works with 0 offset. so you really can't check/or adjust your offset with the pen tool. You need the blade in, cause it drags as it cuts. and has to turn freely in the blade holder.

    Artcut is not the only program?

    download Signblazer FREE software here on the forum and give it a try. Roland PNC 1000 is a generic driver, that might work. or try one of the US Cutter drivers.

    New and very Lost.

    great glad you got it going, but if you run into problems with longer cuts going crazy on the USB. then you will want to consider changing it over to serial cable.

    Tiling large sign but using reverse?

    can't you turn off the tile overlap feature in Signcut? just so it will butt up to the next tile. just make it 0, I don't use Signcut, but have it downloaded to help out. I see it is a feature.

    Let's list the Stick people family people

    most of them are on copyrighted discs, which are not to be posted , as that is copyright infringement to the owner of the discs. and not allowed on the forum either. although some do slip by. I showed where you can purchase them. And there are other vendors also. That is not a FLAME WAR, that is just rules. . there are vendors that do troll these forums and see who is posting up their designs for FREE.... or selling them.
