[Starting a new project]

That's just nice!!

[Lets talk about On-line Stores.]

Nice looking base!! For my website i use bigcommerce, super easy to use. I can add or drop products and pictures  pretty easy on it. You can take paypal at check out, or add a merchant service and take credit cards. I've been with them for over 7 years and not a single complaint.

[Help!]

How do you have it connected to your computer?

[US Cutter machine cannot be found]

Try turning off your antivirus and see if it'll connect then, if not, might be a bad USB cable

 

[TITAN2 USB PORT]

No trouble from mine either. I don't plug and unplug mine at all on the cutter end of the cord. I also went as far to put a zip tie on the USB cord and the front leg of the cutter from the very first day I got my Titan 2, just to take the weight off the USB connector.

[round text anti clockwise ?]

I'd do it in two parts, type the top section (type on arch) on the outside path, and then type the bottom section on the inside path and then just put them together.

[Vinyl cutters stuck at 1 side]

I would guess a bad kill switch.

[Where is knife and eraser tool?]

I'm pretty sure the knife and eraser tool is not available in the LTR edition of VM. In the pro edition, it's in the node edit tools on the far left column.

[VinylMaster Cut]

when you import a clip art images into VM, you have to vectorize it and then you can save it in your folder

 

[3D Text]

I don't remember that option being available in the cut version of VM. Very little design aspect with cut from what I remember, bit it's worth it's weight to upgrade to letter , or better yet pro!

[What now?]

You just need to right click, curve editing and then break apart and then you can "select" the word you want to change. If you  created the words in VM, and it has already been converted to curves, or if the words have been traced and vectored,then you won't be able to just change the font. You'll have to type out the word again, with the font you want and insert that into your design

[Desperately Need Help]

What's it doing? Post a picture of your cuts.

[Vinyl master "smartness"]

VM pro has the cut holes first option.

[Need some help - Novice]

It's not a vector in VM pro either

 

[Thanks]

I've been hunting  canebreak skins. If you ever want to sell a couple bigmax, give me a shout. I been buying diamond back skins from texas and putting the skin on fishing rod builds

[The blade wont go down all the way!]

Have you tried raising the blade pressure?

[making straight lines]

For a straight line, I use the curve feature of the pencil tool instead of freehand. Left click to start your first node and then stretch the line out as long as you want it, then left click again for the finish node. Just right click as you move off the last node and the line you just made is ready to do what you want with it.

[Cutting HTV with SCAL Pro 4]

Select your image, right click, transform, flip horizontal (mirror), then send to cutter.

[How can I seperate a solid object?]

The way I do it, is take your shape tool and make a really thin rectangle and place it over the tree trunk where you want to separate it. Then select both objects, and then  right click, shaping and then click punch out. Right click again, curve editing and break apart.

[VM Pro - Letter vs Graphics - Newbie Q]

I would import the moose image you posted and instead of trying to vectorize the low quality image, choose the drawing tool, set it to curve (the pencil on the left) and manually trace the image. just zoom in a little and trace away. I been practicing manually tracing low quality images like that, it's a little slow going at first, but once you start to get the hang of it, it goes pretty quick and turns out nice. 

[What is going on????]

The top of the hydrant looks a little rough too

[What is going on????]

did you hook up the ground wire on your titan 2"

 

[What is going on????]

when you go to click send file to cutter, you'll see where you can open the vinyl spooler, click on it and then click on settings at the top of the spooler page

 

[What is going on????]

I think you need to select "preserve cutting order" in VM

Are they the same color?, is it bigger then your page set in VM?. Never had that kind of problem

That was my problem, different shades of black, I just couldn't tell it on my laptop. I selected both my graphic and the name I had added to it and choose black again to make sure they was the same color and my problem was solved. AboveCreations, the file you posted is the same way, two different shades of black.
