    I have signlab 5.0 cutting with Roland Camm1

    A few months ago the machine swapping from starting at the right to cut a sticker to the LEFT. At this time is changed it Axis Swap so for example if you Axis Swap it use to cut HORIZONTAL now if you select Axis Swap it cuts VERTICALLY.
    This was fine i could cope with it. However now it wont cut longer than a metre. On the Cut screen it has the full sticker i want but with a dashed red line over half of it-this indicates the length it cuts even though there is enough vinyl in the cutter and i cant seem to work out why it is doing this. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP.

    On your Roland Cutter, make sure that Rotate is set to 90.
    On some Roland cutters, that setting is hard to find.
    Then in Signlab , remove the checkmark from Axis swap.

    On Rolands, when they are set to Rotate = 90, The cutter cuts along the length on the vinyl.
    When a Roland is set for Rotate = 0, they cut along the width on the vinyl.
    Find your plotters manual, you have to set this on the cutter itself.

    In Signlab, if you want to do a long cut, say 20 feet, Axis swap must be OFF.
    If you are doing a small cut, say 15 inches, you MAY want to turn on Axis swap so that it cuts along the width of the vinyl.
