I'd love an option in preferences (mac version) to disable/enable to rewind roll after a cut is finished.
Unless I'm blind and can't see it somewhere.
Thanks!
Turn off Rewind setting
Re: Turn off Rewind setting
Hi, interesting question! What do you want to rewind, the cutter or the file? Also what version of SCAL and what cutter do you have?

Re: Turn off Rewind setting
signcut has this option, it's a tick box that basically stops the cutter returning to origin so it's easier to cut off the vinyl.
first thing we tell everyone with the Phoenix Silver Bullet is untick the box as it means you cannot cut a 2nd time unless you use the multicut feature
so I'm guessing it would be the cutter, that would get to the end of the file and just stop not return to the beginning and not return the mat back to the start (origin)

Re: Turn off Rewind setting
Yup Dragon - I was using signcut for about a year before switching to SCAL and found it useful - I could just cut the vinyl off without pulling it through.
I've got US Cutter SC series. A follow-up idea to this setting. Besides a checkbox on/off - maybe a text field for inches (or a slider) for # of inches to add.
Example: Rewind is turned off - so after the cut is done the finished cut is hanging out the end of the cutter, and the vinyl is advanced X inches (based on the text field). My cutter has a channel to run an exacto knife through without damaging anything. So if the vinyl advanced to the exactly length where that channel was, I could just cut it where it was, instead of manually advancing the vinyl.

Re: Turn off Rewind setting
it's a good option if you cut a lot of vinyl. most paper crafters would have this turned off.
