Hi George,

Take a look at this post, perhaps it will answer your question.

After looking at your picture closer, it looks like you are doing an outside offset. Try doing no offset or an inside offset. It looks like what is happening to you is your tool is wider than the space between the letters, so the tool won't go thru there. An inside or no offset will give you more ro...

I should add that in the drop down menu box is a Quick Cut sequence choice that will accomplish the same thing.

Select the Start editor button at the top of the sheetcam screen (+S). Then right click on the desired Start symbol on the drawing, and select properties on the resulting pop-up menu. At the bottom of the menu is a box labeled Order and a number, coresponding to the Start symbol you right clicked on...

I don't mean to hog this thread, just trying to help figure out what is going on. Just on a whim, I changed my house computer back to the way it was (when it didn't work to begin with) by unchecking the rubber-band graphics check box. The measure function now works. So maybe checking and unchecking ...

Well, I tried this out on my shop computer. It's identical to my house computer, and I keep a copy of sheetcam on it for quick changes when I'm out at the shop. The measure function works fine on it. If I change it to rubber-band graphics, then measure doesn't work. Same version of sheetcam on both ...

The fast rubberband graphics made no difference on my computer. I loaded the development version, and the measure function works there.

It does not work on my computer either. Also using Version 6.0.11. I get the same thing, a ruler, but no measurements anywhere that I can find.

Ok, after my last post I got to thinking. The problem I am having is on 2 almost identical Dell Optiplex 755 computers. After a bit of research on the web, it appears that Dell does not support Windows 7 on these computers. I did find some fixes for some driver problems, but these did not fix my She...

Thanks for posting the screen shot Sean. That's the same screen I get, but I get a black rectangle instead of the object I want to print. I get the black rectangle whether I have a drawing or a blank screen, and it's always the same size. This happens on my Windows 7, 64 bit and 32 bit computers. Th...

Evidently, I'm the only one with this problem. I uninstalled and re-installed sheetcam, still had the problem. I then down loaded the program onto an old XP machine I had laying around. Printing works fine there. So I have to assume the problem is with Windows 7, the operating system I use on my Gra...

I've been having a problem, not sure when it showed up, or if it's always been this way. Just recently, I decided to print a copy of a job I've been working on. When I tried to print, another window came up, and all it displayed was black. There's no heading on the window, so I'm assuming it's a she...

Got the new computer running today and downloaded Sheetcam from the website. Works fine, so I guess the old computer was just confused. It was an old computer, so it's logical that it was losing it's memory!

Thanks for the help, Steve

It remembers its Application and Machine options ok. It seems to be confined to just the job options. I'm upgrading to a newer computer for my drawing applications later today, so I'll just download the newest Sheetcam version to it and see what happens then.

Les, that's what I've been doing. I just did it again, just to be sure. I went to Options/ Job Options/ Material, and put in the 48 x 48 again. I've tried just clicking OK, and I've tried saving the material. In either event, if I come back to the options without closing Sheetcam, the 48 x 48 will b...
