Does this also happen to text when you do not "shape" it?

It appears that your "selected" object actually includes something, a small node or something because it is far away from "s" and "k" on the left side.

I tried opening it in my VM DSR v5, it's opening as an image and not a vectorized file, it's also a backup of your file, notice the ~ in the file extention. I suspect you have two lines around the outer edge and need to "weld" or "combined" the image even though your eye cant see them. It looks like you wanted a stencil (hence the size of the background was your measurements) however I attached both. Left Bottom-1StripesnoBackground.vDoc Left Bottom-1Stencil.vDoc

Thanks for reporting back, enjoy.

Also Graphtec offers desktop software and you can change the language in there, which is where you may need to be.

Yes, in settings: Open Vinyl Spooler: Menu: Cutter/Configure Cutter/Edit/Advanced Settings... go to the "Commands" Icon, over on the right is "Device Language" click the "+" and then scroll through the list.

Try selecting the shape and right clicking, top, "convert to: curves"

Totally wrong place for this. Flagged

I would have vectorized the one star then made the pattern and used "group all" . Have you tried to "select all" then right click or vectorize from a menu?

Vinylmaster Pro is definitely recommend for a pro level Shop. We recently switched to the DSR level and love it. Support and features are top notch.

Vextoring tends to help, but your outline trick is fine too. Are you trying to do multiple images of the same image on a sheet?

In the contour cutting screen do you see outline (%) setting, and the box with "keep holes" ? Play around with that and above the image select "split view" , helps me to see.

I've received great support from vinylmaster, and haven't messed with the contour part until the last few weeks actually. Are you clicking the "apple" in vinylmaster to start contour cutting?
