mr300s 1,272 Posted December 17, 2009 thanks for reply can u tell more ? how i can delet the layer? Try to left click on it and hold it down and see if you can drag it to the side then the other should still be there and delete one of them vectormagic makes more than one layer for some reason. i am just learning vm. in signblazer, you can just select and delete the extra image. if you delete something you did not want to delete, just undo until you get back what you want. what i do is select and drag an item. if that item is duplicated there will still be a copy in its original position. if not i just undo my last operation. hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr300s 1,272 Posted December 17, 2009 thanks again, i just realized even when i type the word in sign cut, it cut 2 times. well , setting problem? Sign cut will usually have an red x through it if there is more than 1 layer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted December 17, 2009 I don't have Illy but if you can select all and split the objects the other layer may show up if that what it is. Simple Text I would have just used SB so much easier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CRD 9 Posted December 17, 2009 It is a signcut setting probably. In Signcut set numbers of turns in the last cutting screen to 1. if it is set to 2 it cuts all twice or more. You can also try with the preview to see it cuts once or more after you have changed. No need to realtime cutting vinyl to check. If I am not sure what I have done I always check with the preview and wait to see what it does till the end. This way I found and removed many starter errors! ;-) paco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted December 17, 2009 Great point CRD here is the settings should be on 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
