desertdog10 0 Posted January 31, 2009 I'm trying to do some multi color decals and after watching all the youtube help they all seem to have placed the registrations ABOVE their graphic but I can't seem to get any space above my imported graphic (from illust.). When imported it neatly boxes up the graphic and I can't place the marks above? Do I need more white space while in illustrator, cause I couldn't figure out that either. Any help appreciated!

knucklehead 530 Posted February 1, 2009 That's a very good question. Since I just recently started using signcut, that's one that I would like to know the answer too. Is there a way to enlarge the tile, without enlarging the graphic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

desertdog10 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Thanks, Keith. I think my problem is not finding the reg marks or placing them, it's when I export an image from Inkscape or Illustrator. When I do this, the exporting program nicely crops very tightly around my image. Say I export the text "HELLO", there is no room above the text to put the reg marks without being right on top of the text. I suppose I could make more white space in the creating application but I would think you could do this in signcut without having to modify the original. I hope this makes more sense. Thanks for the reply! -Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kburk 2 Posted February 3, 2009 Man it would be nice to be in Sunny Arazona right now it is still cold in B.C. Vancouver Ok so I have a had the same problem mabye some one have more experience than me can help on this on but I fit my reg marks in top left or top right, or do as you say in the original I leave more space. For the most part I have been adding my Reg marcks in the design program before sending it to SC. Sorry to not be more help. I think in a lot of ways Signcut is just a cut program where Flex SB and the other you can edit also. Keith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mustangconv85 0 Posted February 12, 2009 when you go to place your registration marks just click about the box that's around your image it will place the reg. mark there and move the box so it includes your reg. marks hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
designed 0 Posted April 3, 2009 I have been trying to make registration marks also but all it does for me is make the tile box bigger where I click I cannot seem to get registration marks to cut let alone be able to see them? I see others have this problem I still cannot get it to work anyone out here able to help us on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CRD 9 Posted April 3, 2009 In your design make a surrounding box larger as the text. When send to signcut it will use this box as the outside lines so you have room for putting the reg marks in. Paco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

designed 0 Posted April 3, 2009 Hey I got it I went into settings and down at the bottom it says reg mark size mine was at 0.00 so I set it to 5.0 and presto I have marks cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CRD 9 Posted April 4, 2009 John, I just tested it and if you mean the registration mark size in the PLOTTER, ADVANCE SETTINGS it also works at my side with a setting of 0 mm. But in case it does not work choose a value like John said of 5 mm and try again. Now you can use for example a font file without a surrounding box. If you use the registraion mark tool and place the registration mark above the boundry it will place the registration mark and enlarge the cutting boundry to include the registration marks. If you remove the marks it will reduce the boundry in size. Paco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
