You need to click on rectangle select. Its in the area right below the word FILE. So double click bitmap, then select rectangle select up at top and you should be good.
I have for smaller signs, bored a hole and epoxy t-nuts in with some 404 (West system) added to the mix. Nothing of any large size. I have lots of 8'' x 24'' signs hanging all around my area. Of course they are all low to the ground, most been up since 2001.
I can't tell how well it works cause we just cut and mask it for them. I can tell you that it is very sticky. We were at one time cutting high tack vinyl for them cause it was cheaper I think. But they switched back to Fabtac maybe 6 years ago.

Its a stencinl product for awnings. We use about 1 roll every 4 months. We have a awning company as a neighbor and we just cut it and they put it on.
What version do you have? I think when we had 4.95 we had to get the 3D module. I use Profilelab and it's just a selection to pick for routing. Toolbar has, hog, male, female, online vcarve, bevel, drill and some more.
I'm prob. in a small group of people, but I use Profilelab from cadlink. Been using it since the 90's. I also use Signlab so they pretty much work the same. Always seemed easy to me. Easy Vcarve setup or my favorite Beveled letters.
I may be wrong, but I think cutting master 3 will not work with fc7000. I think you need cutting master 2. I remember trying this years ago and it didn't work. Either that or make sure you have latest firmware and the right plotter is called out in the list.
I have the best luck routing color core with straight flute bits. And I always use the largest bit as well. Then if any little edge is left after routing, I hit it with a flame real fast.
Yes, I have a Graphtec FC7000. I will look for that sort option. Is that in the plotter menu? Seems like I have seen that somewhere before.
Also I think they design their text and send as outlined text so it doesn't read as a font. All the letter are their own objects. Like "o" is a compound path.
Sometimes when cutting a customer supplied Pdf, the centers of letters cut first and then the outside. When doing a long run sometimes a little skew will show up. Is there anything I can do to make it cut like regular fonts in Signlab? Or is there something I can tell the designer to do on...
