I trying to use signblazer for a simple text layout, but my test is spaced too far apart, and my lines have too much space in between them this is making way too much waiste. Anyone offter any suggestions on fixing this?

i dislike the software myself...try just using illustrator or corel..to design it, save it. Next import it to signblazer to get it cut to your plotter.

after you finish typing, close the text box, click on the "Select" button with the arrow, and now you can use the corners to make it bigger or smaller, or right click on it, select size, and make it the exact dimensions you want it to be!

thanks i figured that one out. But another problem is when i cut a design if there is a sightest off tracking the edge of the design may get cut off. There is a box aound the design that is right up against the design. How do I mack it a little away from the design to allow for issues like this?

to keep the vinyl tracking straight, I take my cutter offline, advance and retreat the vinyl and watch where it begins to track... adjust the vinyl, then repeat til the vinyl is tracking straight

When you are ready to cut the design, click the "Weed All" box over the the left, now you can adjust the box surrounding the design.
