Cutting Master 2 - Auto-tiling...ARGH!!!!

[Circleville Signs]

OK. There is probably a simple fix for this, but I can't find it.

I'm cutting directly from Illustrator. This is a 14"x98" piece, and Cutting Master is automatically tiling it. There is no reason to tile it.

I can't get cutting master to NOT tile.

HELP!

don't use cutting master, but is it maybe due to page size of illy?

 

[Circleville Signs]

Nope - page size is larger than the necessary output...UGH!

Are you sure you're not picking up a wayward node that's maybe off the artboard.

 

[Circleville Signs]

100% sure.

Figured out that the "Page Size" setting in the Graphtec was set to only 78.84". I changed it in the Graphtec.

Now, I'm going to try uninstalling and then re-installing the cutting master drivers...

If the page size is bigger than the cutter it will tile..

Are you cutting on 15" material? If so, maybe the pinch rollers are not spaced far enough apart.

 

[Circleville Signs]

30" material

Job is 13.5"x98.5"

Rollers are fine. Cutting Master is AUTOMATICALLY setting up tiles even when there shoudln't be any.

check your cut size(1) against what your cut area is. You can have the machine self adjust to actual cutting width by clicking here(2)

If all else fails, get in touch with Graphtec:

If they're unable to help you, call SAi support at 1 800-229-9066.

Good luck!

Again...
you either have it rotated in the wrong direction or the page is bigger than the cutting area..

Welcome to Cutting Master! I find the same problem all the time for no particular reason. If I have other parts of a layout on the page I'm designing in and select one thing to send to cut, it takes the entire page to Cutting Master...the entire layout, not just the "selected" object I'm wanting to plot. I have "plot selected" chosen in Cutting Master too. After multiple tries I will copy the item I want cut to a new page of Corel so its the only thing on the page and it will then come into CM as I want. Can't count on CM all the time to do what its supposed to do consistently.
