FC8600 can't cut detailed designs

mistwist,

I also had some challenges with small details and hangnails on my new ce7000.  I recommend trying the following:

In CM4 or Graphtec Pro Studio Production Manager increase the Step size from 254 to 1016 or 2540.  This is the "resolution" your plotter cuts at.  It will cut slower, but more carefully, the higher you go.  I cut small a lot so I use 2540.  This should increase the accuracy of fine details.

In the condition settings on the plotter, set tangential mode to 2, and overcut to .004" for both "start" and "end" this will greatly reduce the frequency and hangnails on curves where the blade starts/stops cuts (especially noticeable on small lettering).
