  So carrierng on with this subject could anyone please advise on how to inport a image into signblazer so I can cut the out line of the image when I send it to my plotter as I’m working in sand blast rubber and at present I only require the outlines

  Hi
  A long winded way but one which works on most design software is

  A) if image is a vector then select all and make outlines and fill black, then trace… you got an outline.

  If image is a bitmap then similar but you got to use a bitmap editor before tracing.

  Of course images will trace but tend to trace all internal outlines too so you can delete those you don’t want.

  Of double course some design software does this auto at click of a mouse when set up.

  Then you have outline send to plotter as a hairline or as a fill with no outline depends what output software wants… if you send as a fill with hairline then tendancy is often for plotter to cut twice…
