Re: preview?

Good for you, Laurie! Glad you figured it out.

Note that you can also change the Opacity on any given shape by lowering it on the Fill & Stroke Panel... Just in case the next time it happens, your Workspace Alpha is already set to 100. :)

Re: Software says "intiating" and nothing happens

I'm so sorry for not seeing your post before. Hopefully you worked it out. If not, then the first thing I would ask is for a screenshot of your Windows Device Manager Screen with a folder called Ports opened. If you're on a Mac, then run a System Report, select USB from the left side and then post a...

Re: How do I cut only the outline of an image?

In the Trace Image window, check the box next to Blackout. That will then remove any cut lines on the inside. If you need more help just let me know.:)

Re: SCAL 6 Nothing showing up in layers or document tabs

So, open the Fill & Stroke Panel on the right. With the shape selected, make sure (for now) that both the Fill and Stroke have Color selected and to the right of that both are set to anything but white. If you still don't see anything, please post a screenshot here with the shape selected and th...

Re: Trying to calibrate my silver bullet but....

Every cutter brand and, sometimes, model, will utilize however many registration marks deemed suitable by the engineers who develop the technology to be used. The newest camera-enabled cutters manufactured by Skycut (i.e. Skycuts, UK Cutters, StarCraft SOLOs, Siser models, and more) all use 4 reg ma...

Re: Changing cut pressure during a print n cut?

It is in SCAL6, which I believe you posted that you are using. You'll notice that in the Style Panel Cut Line Type menu, there's an option called Score. This option allows you to set a different cutting Force (called Score Force) to be used compared to the other Cut Force option. Thus, for example, ...

Re: SCAL 6 Change registration Mark default print setting

You don't mention which cutter you're using but for all of the models I personally support, if you wait to print once you've entered the Print+Cut window, then Print Registration Marks WILL always be enabled: 1.png 2.png Note that it makes sense for it to work this way because we're seeing an increa...

Re: Trying to calibrate my silver bullet but....

In case you didn't realize it, you do NOT have to choose one of the (Print + Cut) options when doing a Print+Cut project. The layer should be set according to what you want to happen to it. I do a LOT of print+cut projects with layers set to Cut so that they will both print AND cut. For example, I w...

Re: Trying to calibrate my silver bullet but....

Please note again, what I wrote in my response. If you leave a layer set to "Cut", then it will BOTH print AND cut. Here's a look-up table for you to use:
