I import a illustrator file and for some reason the plotter cuts out the design twice. It does not cut it out twice when I import text from another program I have called Inkscape. I am using the program SignCut.

Break apart the clipart and make sure it isnt masked and also make sure you weld it together if there are lines running through it.

You may have two paths stacked on top of each other (check your layers in illustrator) or have a setting in your plotter driver that tells it to do 2 passes.

I've had the same issue when importing CorelDraw files to Illustrator.

I end up with one path for the stroke, and one path for the fill. The plotter sees 2 paths and cuts twice. It looks fine on the screen until you drag the layers apart and see the duplicate paths.
