    I am doing a door design which incorporates a logo, basic rectangles and some text. I am happy with the door design but I need to send off a proof via EMAIL so I am trying to get a.jpeg created of the whole door. If I try to "export" as a .jpeg nothing happens unless I try and export only the TEXT portion. That is, when I select only the text protion - it appears to work. Do I need to weld or group or something else in order to export this completed file as a .jpeg??

    HOLD ON - I'VE GOT IT.  It takes a bit of reverse thinking but I did figure it out and now understand how the software works.  I will experiment a bit more but I am now sure I can get it.  Thanks for your understanding!

    Please excuse my ignorance.  I am not sure what will actually be cut when I send this to the cutter.  I'll give it a try but am not sure of the actual process and what to weed?  I will actually be cutting this twice right?  I want to cut the entire background [black] and then cut only the orange - I guess that is possible but I just don't know the mechancis.

    Yes essentially an outline but I would like one set of cut lettering of BLACK to say "OVHA" and then I would like to be able to cut another set in orange which would fit directly over the black essentially giving the orange [smaller set] a black background.

    I need to make some lettering with a "SHADOWED " effect but all the way around.  I would like to be able to type a word and then replicate and finally modify the text so that I can cut two sets of the same text on different colors and finally place the smaller of the two on top.  The problem I have is a white canopy onto which I need to print orange vinyl lettering and I am sure it will not get the effect intended.  Therefore, I would like to put black behind the orange to make it stand out.

    I have noticed that when I am MS Word e.g. I can select small caps [or lower case caps] when formatting a font.

    Can I do this in SB?  That is, can I make a string of text with all caps with the first letter of larger size?

    I need to make a curved arrangement of a three  word group JOHN DEERE PLOW CO. where the J D P C are larger than the balance of the lettering but all are in caps.  If I have to make individual letter text entries it looks like a nightmare effort.

    I'm a novice at this cutter and posted this message in the welcome area - just copied the text to this location.  any help would be appreciated.

    Hi all. 

    Dutch from Southern Indiana and very new to cutting.

    I purchased PC630?  and could use some help gettting up and running.

    I restore old antique machinery and will hopefully use the PCUT to make custom relpications of old old stencil work.  In some cases I even have to create new fonts.

    Am I in the right place?

    I have loaded drivers etc have have USB port COM4 assigned but cannot get the cutter to physically move.  It says it is ON LINE and I create a simple text word in SB "SELECT" it, then use the ICON to CUT.  It creates a "JOB" and stays on the job list for about 20-30 seconds then goes away.  Cutter TEST works fine.

    I just put the pen in the PCUT and put a regular piece of paper in.

    Probably something simple but perhaps a bit beyoned me.

    Any ideas or should I post somewhere else?

    I'm just getting started and will most likely be cutting simple colors and applying them to painted wood.

    What specific vinyl should I be looking for and how do i get actual samples.  Which company has the best vinyl for this application?  Are there more than one?

    Hi,

    I am thinking about buying a cutter to make lettering and designs for my hobby - restoring old antique farm implements.  Typical panel areas are 8 x 20" or so.  What I will need to do would be a combination of lettering and some simple graphics.  The lettering typically involves modifications to standard fonts [using Font Creator]. There are very few if any overlapping colors or objects.  I would need to use these modified TRUETYPE fonts as well as these simple graphics.  Actually, I can create much of the artwork in the font creator software.  There may be an occasion where I may need to scan a tracing in [vectorizing needed?]  I would probably use this once every couple of weeks [if that often] as the bulk of the work will be in the preapration.

    Any thoughts on which cutter I should be looking at?
