Thank you both for your responses. I do have background selected when I hit cut, and it will work if I separate the background from the image in my workspace. And other times it does work just fine. I received the RCC Colorchoice program with my Roland, and I do also have a Pcut 24" cutter and that is what the SB came with. I was trying to make it easier on my husband to do things himself by trying to just have him utilize SB, since he has experience with that program. I have found a way to do it for now with using the cutcontour lines in the Corel draw 9 and exporting my eps images. Stacy.

I am still playing with this issue of not cutting backgrounds out, but have found out that if I change the color of the background to another color that I'm cutting in the same file, it will cut it out. Also, I was working on a boarder that wouldn't cut that was created in SBE, and that one I took to Corel Draw 9, created a cutline (as per the RCC ColorCAMM format; then took it back to SBE importing as an eps file, it will cut out that cutcontour line so that I can create my shadows/boards and backgrounds. This does really seem like the long way around to achieve my goals. Just thought I'd update you and if anyone has any other suggestions I could try, I'm more than willing to try them out. Stacy.

I am working with SBE Release 6.0.21 with a Roland PC-600 and have been running into some issues with the cutting function not working for me all the time. I imported an eps vector image into signblazer, then made my outline in signblazer and hit cut. My image cut out fine, but when I selected the outline, it showed that it sent to the PC-600, but wouldn't cut it out. This happened to me tonight on 2 separate images. I even started over deleting everything and imported all over again. The other background I was trying to cut was just a simple rectangle which I created in SB. I went all routes, checked my cables, rebooted my system, recreated my images, outlines/backgrounds and nothing. I have spent the last 4 1/2 hrs trying to figure out why I can't get a simple rectangle to cut, but the detailed lettering and images cut just fine. I really appreciate all your time and efforts in helping me out with this. I know that for the one project I could just use a straightedge and a blade to make my rectangle, but that won't solve my issues on more detailed backgrounds and outlines. Stacy. P.S. I have already created some nice decals for my son with this machine, so I know they work in conjunction with one another. It just seems that I can get 1/2 my job cut then it just stops working.
