View Full Version : weed border refuses to show up in the cut view

Signlab 8 issue.

This is just insane.

I have 2 sets of graphics in this file. A series of numbers with weed borders on them and then 7 or 8 simple words with weed borders.

I cut the numbers already and they are fine but each time I send the words out to cut I see the words but the weed borders are not there. I changed the colour of them, broke the path, converted to polygon and any other option i could think of and still they refuse to show in the cut menu.

I have experienced this before in the last couple of weeks but can't figure out just why the software cant pick up on the weed border.

Not a big deal but definately a bug.

Just started cutting and as I figured the weed borders are not going to cut

I've noticed the images get blacked out in the preview, but I've always had the weed borders cut. Try clicking on the weed borders only and then click on "make path" or "connect path" to see if that helps.

I know you gotta be really careful when ungrouping weed borders because it's terribly easy to drag them into your artwork....not a good deal when you're using the precious last few inches of the last roll of material on your shelf.
