wg_kjell 0 Posted August 14, 2007 Hello, Please setup SignCut-X2 to use rotation of 90-degrees in the Cutter-dialogue. Then when importing image, click the Tab-key on the keyboard to quickly rotate your artwork to save vinyl. You can also click Shift+Tab to always rotate the selected colour(s) or image to minimize vinyl usage. Please see our online manual for more help: http://www.sc-x2.com/online_manual.html Also click on the "Cut by colour" under the tutorials to read more about the rotation. Here are some useful shortcuts: [tt]These shortcuts are very handy, especially the rotation and mirroring which is easy to remember. Main-tools toolbar (Left toolbar): q,w,e,r,t,y,u Sub-tools toolbar (Lower toolbar): z,x,c,v,b,n,m,,,.,- Rotate 90 degrees: Tab Rotate for minimal vinyl usage: Shift+Tab Mirror image: Ctrl+Tab Open new image: Ctrl+O Import latest image under the import-folder: 1 Choose specific file under the import-folder: Shift+1 Read vinyl-size (for supported plotters): 2 Calculate automatic tiles + automatic weedlines 3 Cut out (opens the cut out dialogue): 4 Preview 1 copy: Shift+4 Open the image-dialogue: 7 Open the measuring frame dialogue: 8> Open the tiles-dialogue: 9 Open the cutter-dialogue: 0 Open the Settings-dialogue: F11 Delete all weedinglines: F6 Delete all registrationmarks: F7 Toggle whole / adapted area: F8 Toggle wireframe / fill viewmode: F9 Toggle tiles, registrationmarks & weeding tools:Space Toggle measuring, rotation & object tools: Shift+Space Toggle between the available colours: Ctrl+Space The most commonly used shortcuts is the Tab-key in various use with Shift and Ctrl in order to rotate or mirror the active image/colour layer. Also the 1,2,3,4 buttons are popular for simple signs, like when cutting a simple text or one-colour signs. As easy as 1-2-3-4 [/tt] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenimes 42 Posted August 15, 2007 For rotating the image or lettering you want to cut, I would just use the rotate tools in SignCut, and not the 0deg/ 90deg and this way the weed frame never disappears. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
