Will Signcut 1.95 Talk to Inkscape 0.48.4 ?

Postby riogirl71 » October 20th, 2013, 11:30 am

I still have Signcut 1.07 Win and Inkscape 0.47 because this was the only combo that worked in order to do PNC and communicate. I saw that Signcut had a 1.95 new version and Inkscape has a 0.48.4 I would love to update but last time I did this it was a disaster and I had to reinstall the old versions.

Has anyone tried updating? Any help is appreciated, I use Inkscape for other stuff and would love to have the newer version!

You can use the beta version of Signcut with Inkscape 0.48.2

By Signcut beta you mean 1.95 (stable) or 1.96? Do I have to uninstall Signcut first or just install over old one?

Thank you so much for your quick answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys rock customer support - if only all companies were like you guys!!!

You can install over the old one. That way you don't have to input all your information again.

I installed Signcut and entered my license again, still gives me a expiration date even though I got it converted (I sent you an email with details). I installed inkscape 0.48.2 and when I draw something on inkscape and export to signcut, signcut opens but it is blank - no file or anything...

I also did not see an option for Black cat 15 - do I use Cougar- C18?

Also when I went to set up the cutter: that handshake does not let me change the option from Hardware RTS/CTS

Thank you Suzan!

Sorry, I did mean 1.96.
For manufacturer choose Thyme Graphics, and then Black Cat 15.
The cutter should already be set to a handshake of software Xon/Xoff
For the blank window try going to Settings/Reset settings

I installed version 1.96 and got the following options on my cutter setup, I chose cougar + sb15
Again no option to change the handshake or anything else (gray).

I reinstalled plug ins and again it opens signcut but with a blank page - i am stumped! Thanks!

If you have a cougar SB then I am afraid we can't help you. We don't sell or support that model

She has a Cougar 15".

I think the manufacturer setting is wrong but don't have SignCut installed anymore so can't check it. For some reason I think I chose Graphtec as the manufacturer, but I could be so wrong! Ok just checked the manual - the manufacturer you are showing is incorrect. It should be Black Cat Technology Ltd.

Oops sorry. That is an old manual. Dawn said use Thyme Graphics as the manufacturer and change the model to the one Dawn mentioned and that should work.
Hope that helps.

I have a Black Cat Cougar 15" that I bought from Sherry not a SB. But I saw no option for thyme graphics only as the picture above with 4 options. This was when I installed 1.96 and no options to change settings. I am stumped, there was a black cat option in 1.95 but 1.96 only showed these 4... still no export to signcut from inkscape...

Looking at your picture, you have the wrong manufacturer chosen. Scroll down and choose Thyme Graphics.

Hi Suzan,

I just uninstalled everything and installed everything again, Signcut 1.96 and the version of inkscape that comes with it. That solved my problem of inkscape exporting to signcut I was very excited - until I went to set up my cutter and once again my only options are: Creation, Graphtech, Premiersign, Robocutters - that's it, no Thyme graphics or anything else listed on Signcut's website... I went into each one of those 4 categories and I could not find Thyme so I can't setup my cutter, does anyone have 1.96 and it shows Thyme?

Thanks again for all your help - I am really stuck!

If anyone has this issue with not exporting from inkscape and signcut:

uninstall signcut (make sure to copy your license number) and inkscape. Then install signcut first and say yes to installing inkscape. When done go to signcut and resintall all plug ins from the signcut help menu. Here is the link:
http://www.signcutpro.com/download-sign ... ivity-pro/

On to the issue of not having options, I contacted tech support and they had me change the name of the folder under programs to Signcut1, then had me try a different license number he gave me, under the new license number Thyme graphics showed up! So I had to uninstall everything again and download signcut 1.96 again since they made a change to it today. I re installed Signcut 1.96 and the version of Inkscape that came with it. Will update this post as soon as I get everything going but wanted to share in case anyone was having issues!

Apparently it has been a while since i have been productive :hide: :hide:

So today I finally went to the basement and found what I needed to get things going again :0)
I was so happy when I put in my test sheet of circles for PNC...and it stated to work but Signcut let me know it was in TEST mode :0) So I figured out that I need to go and pay to extend my use of sign cut. So I did that have done all the things that were mentioned here....and now I just have to set my machine up again, but I can't get into the learning center :0).

So hopefully sometime tomorrow I will be back to playing along :0)
