The first official release of Vista version of Flexi is 8.5v1. One thing to keep in mind, even though Flexi will work on either the 32bit or 64bit operating systems, it does utilize your hardware manufacturer's driver to communicate to the output device. I recommend contacting your...

No. Unfortunately, there is a minimum size to the Mutoh registration box. This is used for the 8 points the cutter uses to align your contour cut job. See submitted screenshot

There isn't a tutorial on these functions that I am aware. The closest would be Flexi's help file which will describe the differences between Symmetric, Smooth, and Cusp control points.

Hello Pete, The way software programs like Flexi works, it is not a simple drag and drop of an output driver into the program especially if the desired driver is located in a newer version of the software package. Too many factors, like engineering changes, play a major factor in making them...

Can you email me one of the PTF files that won't install (or install and not work)? srife@beacongraphics.com

Finishline Signs... Were you able to download and install the "Flexi 8" PTF files for your installation of 8.6? Like you, it took me a while to navigate the new download section of SAi's website.

Cutting Master 2, is a plug-in utility provided by Graphtec to enable their users to cut directly from either Corel or Illustrator. The macro it generates actually opens a Cut/Plot dialog within the native software to communicate with the output device. Flexi users should have no problems...

One of the only problematic systems I have encountered is Windows Vista 64bit. Even though Flexi functions under this operating system, the software still utilizes the manufacturers driver when communicating to your output device. Over the past few months many hardware manufacturers have...

Wayne, It is not exactly the same. The shared printer in PM was originally designed to allow users to print from any application to their large format printers. It automatically creates a PostScript file, and prints to a Hot Folder Flexi created. (very similar a the "virtual printer" Adobe...

The Preference Manager is designed to be much more than just restoring the factory defaults. When I was employed by SA International before their exodus to Utah, I would recommend everyone in my training classes to save their own personal preference file once they finished adjusting their...

According to my feature matrix from Flexi 8.5, Mask/Unmask can be found in all levels. This can be found under the Arrange menu of design software. In order to "cut" your jpg in half... (see sketch) Open your jpg in Flexi Draw a rectangle object and cover over the portion you wish to keep...

Yes, you can just RIP jobs in Production Manager. As a user posted above, you can send the job to PM, by selecting Hold in List from the General tab of RIP and Print. Once the job is queued in Production Manager, open PM, select your job and press the RIP icon across the top of the dialog box...

tooserious... When you open files from another graphic design software into Flexi you are subject to FSPs interpretation of your design. You mention that you are running CS3, and the shadows you import are there, but becoming solid black. I can tell you honestly that Flexi does not support soft...

OneUpTenn... your solution in Corel actually lead to one of the solutions in Flexi. I am not sure if you know that "Outline" in Corel corresponds to a "Stroke" in Flexi, and "Contour" in Corel is an "Outline" in Flexi... since "Contour" in Flexi refers to a Print & Cut job (confusing, but...

Hello Shawn, Can you print anything from Flexi since this error occurred? There are a lot of contributing factors that could cause an "out of memory" message within PM. File size (physical MBs/GBs), hard drive space, corrupted file, etc. Some additional information will be helpful. Steven...

Hello turbotoys... Even though I have not experienced your exact setup I have experienced issues with customers attempting to connect to their output devices with Vista 64bit OSs. Even though the Flexi 8.6v2 software package is Vista compatible and has a listing for your Summa, it still...
