X & Y values will not save

[RedPunchDesign]

Hi there,
So I tried this in both Scal v 3.053 and 3.056. No cigar.
I have my business cards set 6 up.... 3 columns, 3 rows.
Far right column- the cut is off .125" to the right, far left column is .125" to the left, the middle column is closest to being correct.
I tried deleting the left and right columns and duplicated the middle to replace the left and right column, same bad results.
Someone else had this issue, they said there was a glitch with the version they were using but it was scal 2. I tried what they tried, save then hit cancel, and even save, close scal and re-open. No luck.

Here is the strangest part, I printed and cut three shapes from the library and it worked perfectly.

I feel like I am getting so close, but am beyond frustrated with how much time I am losing. Is there a better program for me? I know that MTC isn't compatible with Mac and a Silver Bullet.

Taking shot in the dark....but did you try to go to "preferences" and "calibration" to see if that solves it?

Hi Sandy, I'm in PA too! Do you make house calls? lol
I'm not seeing anything under preferences that deals with calibration. I only know of the calibration settings on the print and cut window > calibrate laser > edit values.
I appreciate your "shot"

Your a little far away for the house call. But I'm thinking of the laser calibration. Go to SCAL3 - preferences and see if there is a tab for SCAL3 and then laser calibration. I don't have SCAL3 in front of me.

"Silhouette registration marks" under Print & Cut is the closest thing to laser?? hmmmm...not finding it under anything else either.

What did you design them in? Did you print them out, then try to cut them? My printer actually prints the images upside down, so I always have to be careful to make sure I put the artwork in the printer in the right direction.

I designed in Adobe Illustrator cs3. Yes I print then cut.
The X Y values will creep up a point on both axises after I cut??? So I go in every time and change back.
So....I ended up sticking with Scal v 3.053. I imported the SVG which only showed half of the cut lines that I needed, then I imported the file as a png (which gave me the other half of the cut lines) and scaled it down to the sized of the svg.
This is what I was doing for the longest time but the png files were not importing, but somehow miraculously are now.
Craft edge sent me ANOTHER version of SCAL a few days ago, I'll test it out next week and update you all.
The colors on the png aren't as good as the svg, so I definitely need this to work as it should.
