Cutter Problem
Posted by LeeMorris on 27 January 2007 at 11:07I had this problem before but can’t remember how i fixed it.
The cutting tool is moving really slow when doing curves, its ok on straight lines
Anybody know?
Cheers
Lee

All curves lee, or just certain ones, you may have changed the speed or quality of the cut , both will have an effect. the speed is also affected by the number of nodes in the drawing, so whilst a straight line may have only one node at each end, a curve may have many.

Hi Lee,
If you go to cutter setup you will find Arc smooth or curve smooth. If its on turn ot off. There is if memory serves me right a setting for the tool ie: drag knife – pounce – tangelical knife. you need to be on drag knife.
This works on my summa d610 but not on my summs s class 120.
Ive got Signlab, flexi and coral. found coral easier to use. -

Sounds like an inordinate number of nodes being used to define the curves. However that occured, you want to fix it by going Arrange menu >> Convert to Polyarc, and follow this up with Arrange menu >> Reduce Nodes.
