Cameo 4 - tool position 2
Posted: Thu Oct 14, 2021 10:10 pm
I've been experimenting with an aftermarket knife tool for the Cameo4, purchased from a vendor on AliExpress - it holds the Roland style blades in a magnetic cup and has a dial ratchet to select blade protrusion of 1-10. The tool works well in postion 1 (Red). When I load the tool into pos. 2 (Blue), the cutting preview is blank (see attached screenshots for comparison). When I run the cut job, the LEFT hand tool holder runs the cut path. Once SCAL has finished sending the job to the cutter, the cut dialog box closes as normal. If I immediately restart it (as though I were going to repeat the cut job) the settings have reverted to the LEFT tool (i.e. Red or position 1).
My question is this. Have I identified a bug/compatability issue, or am I doing something stupid?
n.b. For comparison, I ran a similar test job using Inkscape & the Silhouette plugin, and it cut using the position 2 tool with no issues.
