Hi guys, as per the images. when I try and cut anything in flexisign, whether it be imported from illustrator or even just text typed within flexisign I get a massive number of tiles and huge panel sizes by default I have to start shrinking it down to try and find my image within that mess then resize the tile. real pain, used to work fine. reinstall didn't fix it. (I only use one tile at a time, not trying to do anything fancy)

any ideas?

Your vinyl size may be set much too small. Verify your vinyl size.
To reset the settings in Flexi, go to the Flexi folder in your Windows Start menu.
In that folder should be Preference Manager.
Run this program.
Select Factory defaults.
Click the Load button.

vinyl size is the default (60cm x 4500cm) but thanks I will try and reset settings to default. Will that clear my cutter settings aswell?

Yes I believe so, this resets to factory defaults.
Is it possible that the image is very very large?
Check your tile size as well in the cut/plot screen. Perhaps this was set very small.

What's your document/page size set to? The fact that your size is saying something insane like 19834cm leads me to believe you might've accidentally set your document/page size to meters.

Edit: Scratch that, I see the centimeters on your document off to the side, so that shouldn't be it, although you are set up for about a 84 cm width. If you use Flexi's Ruler tool to measure, how much is it reporting?

Mind posting your settings for plotting/cutting? (the other two tabs). If you have an excessive weed box or the like, it might cause this.

Your a legend! you pointed me in the right direciton, i totally misse dit. My panel margin in the cutter tab was set to 9000cm. changed it to 5cm which solved it! closed and reopened it too and it is looking good!
