cant cut large objects/lettering

[carolinatinter 0]

i have changed the size of my workspace but when i go to cut, it always reads the length as the x axis and the height on the y. i need that to change so its reading opposite. need this done by, well. now.

thanks in advance

In the cut menu there is a "Rotate Across Vinyl" check box.

If the way you want it cut is the way you have it shown in SB, I don't understand what the problem is. It should cut straight down the roll as shown.

it doesnt. the plotter starts running down and then stops at the end indicating it was trying to cut it 78 wide and 16 long. i need it to cut 16" wide and 78" long

So it is trying to cut the 76" across the cutter instead of off the roll? The way your .jpg shows it should have the 76" come off the roll. It works correct on my Signblazer. The SBD file was only 2" x 10.6" though.

it worked. even though i realized after it did cut that i wanted to scale up the letters. 7ft of material, wasted.

What did you do different?

[carolinatinter 0]

i just let it bounce off the end and took a chance. it then went back to the home position and then it acted normal

[Jay2703 704]

What cutter do you have?

the mh-1351. i just realized that this machine does this on every large job. it also will take the blade not directly back to the home position which sometimes ends up cutting on the edge of the material where the roller indentions are and that never comes out of the vinyl. why is the plotter reading it this way and how can i change it so i stop wasting so much material
