Help. Box cutting not in design

Postby Retta » January 29th, 2012, 9:55 am

When I send a file from Inkscape to signcut it is now cutting a box around the whole design and I don't want it to. How do I turn this off. It just started

You probably have the weeding frame option ticked. Its in the cutting window, half way down - remove the tick

I had the same thing happen to me... and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why that box would be cutting out around my designs... until I remembered about the weeding frame... I NEVER forget that now...I always go and turn if off after I have finished cutting vinyl, so that I won't get it the next time I cut paper. :ROFLMBO: :ROFLMBO: :ROFLMBO: :ROFLMBO: :ROFLMBO:

That would be awesome for using with vinyl. I learn something new every day on this board. :-)

Okay - I do not know how to do this. I pushed the edit - delete all weeding lines and it is still there in signcut under preview?? I AM so stupid today.

The weeding frame is an option in the window you get when you click on the scissors icon. Its approx half way down the window - you need to remove the tick from Use Weeding Frame

I agree Lesa - it's an ongoing learning center and I take away something new every day as well - it's just remembering it the next day that's challenging!! :banghead: :hide:
