Billie 6 Posted March 13, 2010 OK....I'm having a problem with sizing....I'm trying to cut 3"tall letters x 11" long ,when it cuts them out they end up being 1 1/2" tall x 11" long. I have read the manual on sign blazer but still can't figure it out? I've been searching the forums ,and still nothing??I'm sure it is something very simple....Help please thank u.....

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 13, 2010 When you go into the cutting section of signblazer are you changing the size in the setup area? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 14, 2010 once you hit the cutter button to go to that area of the program look at the buttons on the top row and hit the one that ways setup, change your sizes their. signblazer has 2 distinct areas the design area and cutter area and parameters must be set up in both separately Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deth502 39 Posted March 14, 2010 im gonna take a shot in the dark here.... when you type out your text, the you go to the dims on the bottom of the window to select teh measurements you want, are you sure that the "keep proportional" box is NOT checked, so that you can size the length and height separately?

deth502 39 Posted March 14, 2010 looks like it should work to me in an unrelated matter, do you have a problem with cuts closing with your offset at 0 ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted March 14, 2010 on the cutter set up box . there is a white bar that says CUTTING SIZE CORRECTION. click it, you will get a box to open, that says output size. , do those measurements match the size you want to cut? If not, then change it to the size you want to cut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billie 6 Posted March 14, 2010 See its set for 3" tall and it's cutting 1 1/2.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted March 14, 2010 can you show a picture of what the expected size and measured size boxes show when you click CUTTING SIZE CORRECTION. ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted March 14, 2010 your measured size and expected size should match each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billie 6 Posted March 14, 2010 Which ones should match...I'm sorry I really new to this.....thank u for trying to help.. Every one on here has been so helpful . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted March 14, 2010 What ever you have measured > should be the same as your expected size So if you measured 11X 3 then put the same in your expected size Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted March 14, 2010 I must admit, I don't even use this software, I'm just trying to help you. So I hope this works. I have it downloaded just to help people. MY software shows same numbers in both sets of boxes. And it makes sense. What you measure, is what you expect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
