How long is your cable? I wasn’t successful able to run even an active cable over 10’ even fully grounded. Anything over 12’ was intermittent at best.

I'm using Illustrator 6 as I don't use it much so I didn't buy it with my cloud service. I've tried exporting as PDF and even then it comes across the same way. It's very strange.

Thank you DCBevins. That's got me closer. The lines now show up but when I do a color fill, still not allowing me to fill. Guess that's not a huge deal as I can at least see the lines to cut and know the colors of vinyl. Thanks again for the help. I've been working with the Texas Department of Public Safety to get permission to run their logo on my restored Texas Highway Patrol Mustang. Now that I've gotten permission, I can recreate the graphic. Jason

I was given an AI file that when I import into SCALP it comes across but it's all blank. I can only see the item outlines if I click on it to select it. I have tried to add fill color as well as stroke color but it doesn't fill or show, still. Any thoughts to what I'm doing incorrectly? Attached is the AI file. 86txtroop.ai

Thanks Darcshadow. Just found the post, digging around in the forums. Appreciate the feedback.

That's what I was looking for. I'll take a look as soon as I'm back in front of my machine. I think I saw that setting. I tried messing with Offset and just made things worse. HA! Thank you! JS

Wasn't sure if I should put this post in the hardware forum or software but figured I'd start here as I think it might be settings on the software. I have an LPII and use SCALP to send my files to cut. I've noticed since day one that if I send a cut, say a circle that the circle does not get cut completely. There's always a little "tag" where the cut wasn't complete causing weeding to be a nightmare. I recently did a large job that was a lot of letters and it was a nightmare to weed because the letters were small and these little "tags" were causing me to lift the letters while weeding. Is there a setting in the SCALP software that I can look at to try and attempt to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance, for any advice. Jason

If all else fails, that's exactly what I'll do. Very basic design. As popular as this vinyl seems to be, thought someone would already have the file readily available. Just being lazy in a Saturday morning. HA!

Yea but there's a slight curve to the letters that's throwing off my proportions. I should have measured the vinyl before I stripped them

Thanks! Here's what I'm looking for. Then need to start working on a nice tattered flag for bed side graphics.

Don't suppose anyone's got a vector file for vinyl to cover the factory FORD letters in the grille... Picked up a '14 Raptor yesterday and the vinyl that's on there is in horrible condition. Would like to replace them. TIA, JS

You know, that's why I sold the Boss. Was too afraid to rub bumpers in a $45K car I was still paying for. Stepped back down to one I could park if I blew up or wrecked. LOL

Oh, it will be out there eventually, just not right now. Have to get the Shelby buttoned up. You're right, the thrill of the twisties out lives the thrill of the 1320' at a time. I got addicted to the twisties when I had my Boss.

LOL, she is slow but she handles like a champ. This one isn't my track duty car, this is my daily. Here's the track duty car. She's on jack stands right now while I'm installing a rollbar. Hoping to have her in the 9's this season.

All done. Planning on doing a photoshoot, this weekend.
