Craft Edge

When you right click on the SCAL Icon and go to Properties, how are you running the program? Do you have any boxes checked/not checked?

I'm not at home right now, so I'm not for sure, but I don't think it would be anything unusual. I run it from the start menu: Start->All Programs->Craft Edge->Sure Cuts A Lot 2

If you right click on the SCAL icon, you will get a pop up window. At the bottom, select properties. Under the compatibility tab is where you can select different ways to run the program.

Just checked from home now. Under the compatibility tab, nothing at all is check marked.

I think I'm coming closer to the reason for this problem. Even after downgrading to version 2.028, the problem continues.

Out of curiosity, I made some of the svgs I was trying to cut larger, and VOILA! No big gaps. Occasionally some small ones, but no huge gaps like I was getting before. So... it seems to be a size issue. I'm trying to cut the designs around 1/4" to 1/2" tall (they're being put onto/into tiny bottles).

So... there you go. I think I'm going to email Craft Edge about this, but I thought I would update you on the status of this.

I have never seen large gaps like you are getting, whether the cut is small or large. Little gaps are frequent, depending on quality. I have noticed, however, that the quality of a cut tends to degrade the more it is cut/copied/pasted. Is your cut a trace or did you import an .svg made somewhere else?

I have had this happen before on small cuts too. The SCAL2 picture looks OK but some of the lines don't close. This only happens on a small percentage of cuts so I didn't mind too much getting out my exacto and fixing it. I'm running version 2.012.

I have imported an svg--both that someone else has made, and one that I have made myself. No copying and pasting. For that matter, I'm having the problem when I simply use the text tool in SCAL.

Another picture of the problem that has persisted.

Was a solution ever found to this problem, as I am now getting it? I chose a square from the shpes library and it cuts unevenly on one side
