I am so tired

[Annette Asberg]

Hi you all!!!
I am so extremely tired of my Graphtec FC8600 cutter that always cuts 2 or 3 times and makes a mess since it potentially will deep through the backing of the vinyl.
Does anyone know if it any setting in Onyx since it does fine with CuttingMaster4?

Try giving cutcontour objects a fill only and no stroke.

are you using .EPS files? Especially ones with Transparencies.

I started to use PDF and it fixed all my onyx contour issues. EPS files dont support transparencies...so onyx sees it as two cut lines (Not onyx's fault). Try saving the same file as pdf and see if it does the same thing.

Sounds like you have a stoke. Sometimes my LXI software adds a stroke of the same color, drives me nuts.

Maybe your stroke is being recognized as 2 lines AKA compound path??? Can you set to cut ONLY the center of the path? Otherwise as Bly said try to cut from the fill if you can.

Or send the file to one of us and see if we can cut it? Maybe someone here can find the issue.

We run Caldera and every cut is a path or stroke for us. It cuts the center of the stroke whether its 1pt or 20pt. Just recognizes the center of the line it self.

Is there a checkbox somewhere in your system....Convert Strokes to fills possibly??

+1 to statements above
a stroke is seen as 2 paths, set your cut path shape as a fill (not a stroke) and you should be set.

interesting if there's a setting to negate this possibility in the future, but i stopped thinking about it 10years ago when I just made sure my production files were fills-only.
