SCAL PRO... Cutting orientation

Post by Lil Craft Shack »

Ok when I go to hit cut Icon and it previews my image going into my cutter... My machine is only 24 in and the image I am cutting is 35 in... why would it show it loading horizontal into the machine when that obviously can't happen due to the size??? How can I change that??

I'm not quite sure what the problem is for you but if you have set the "cutter" options correctly for your mat, machine, material size and orientation you should be ok. The only other thing I can think of is that you have a "stray" element somewhere. Check the layers panel and see if you have an extra. Use the "shape" tool from the right side menu to see all of the nodes to see more strays.

Sorry if this doesn't help, perhaps more discussion is necessary to diagnose the problem.

It would also help if you described your software vs, cutter and OS as they may be contributing factors.

Right!!!! I agree there is a stray problem for sure!!! I am thinking it has to do with the Titan 2 I am using... When I choose my cutter option the titan has 3 diff variants of cutter size and there is now way to choose my size cutter... So it assumes I have a 60

Right I totally agree... When I choose my cutter it only allows me to choose the titan 2 and not the size of the cutter... Which there are 3 variants... So it prob assumes I have a 60in capability...?? Maybe?? And I see nowhere to fix that...
