CRD

Take the outside round and then the next to it. Combine them (Alt+S then Alt+C) and give them a color. Perform this for all three open circles to be made. Then select all circles and choose weld (Alt+S then Alt+R then Alt+L). I run a dutch version of X4 so do not know the english steps in words. Worked attached. Try again yourselve to see what I mean. reworked.eps reworked.eps

Read the new bie manual in the instructional section here and 10 to 1 your problems are solved. Paco

Hi Ken, Nice to see you here again. Read my signature It would be nice to share the solution in the end anyway. Paco

As you use a Mac I think your options are nill. SB does not work on Mac. And as I see you use CS3 then why change the way you work? Paco

Did you followed the new bie manual? Paco

Only on coated vinyl to keep the ink from bleeding and smearing. Paco

just to try and see if that helps. http://www.signcutpro.com/component/option,com_quickfaq/Itemid,69/cid,4/id,6/view,items/ Paco

Will test it with my summa tomorrow. paco

After some repeated questions here is a HOW TO to contourcut from Corel X4 with Signcut Pro. For X2 there are nice videos and the manuals. For the PRO version with the "advanced contour cut" and all needed settings there was nothing uptill now. Click on the link and use it to your benefit. http://www.jupacreations.com/downloads/How to contour cut correctly with SignCut Pro_Corel_X3_4_Illustrator_CS3.pdf There are 3 download samples one for X4, the older V11 version and a CS3 .ai file. If there are addtional questions let me know. Regards, Paco Raap

Laptop for design (can be used anywhere even at the customer side). Simple P4 2,0 Ghz 2 GB mem desktop for the cutting and printing in a wired and wireless network. Paco

In corel draw you can use layers to seperate objects to cut http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ6Au_ltUos Paco

I just own a Summa too D series but did not changed a blade yet. Is this blade the original factory blade? Does the offset is the same? Paco

Or go to the SIGN BLAZER section and look for the guy who sells the advanced (no serial version) for 5$ or so. http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,18816.0.html Paco

I sold my Pcut. Your correct when you choose a Creation Pcut the option is greyed out. Paco

Does your cutter has any optical eye so it can read if there is any vinyl in the machine? Paco

http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,18816.0.html

if the MH has a real Windows printer driver installed it should be possible. Paco

check this. paco

That says enough. Do not know if you contact the factory itselve if they give away the secret menu. Worth to try. Paco

I am out of options. I will prepare as SC file for you to see what happens if you open that. Paco

Toggle this button and see what happens. It switch on off the color filling if they are there to see if objects overlap. Paco

OK that is clear. CS seems to have so different display settings as the CR versions. Wonder if there is a secret menu as I assume at the factory they also do test for correct Y and X cuting. What does your distibutor says about it? Sorry I could not help you in this. Paco

Plotters are stupid they do not talk back. So no need for bidirectional communication. Paco

make a picture of the control panel of the plotter. if it is not the mode key it must have an other name or sign. Paco

Hummmm, With my knowledge on parallel ports you do not set serial settings like 9600,n,8,1 those are strictly serial settings. Parallel ports are much quicker as they were the next step after serial ports. So I do not understand why you set serial settings in Signgo as this too. It should not make any difference. Does the parallel port at the machine side have screw terminals or clips to attach the cable? Sorry to ask I cant see the connection of the machine. Only thing I can think off is that bi-directional setting in bios is conflicting. Try to set it to normal. If your machine have a USB port you might try to run it that way with the MH and SBE. Just suggestion, do not shoot me. :-) Paco
