Great info guys; thanks!

It's important to get all of this in one location.

Yeah, I'm syncing whatever I post on my forum here as well--I was a bit late doing so with the carrier sheet FAQ. Whenever I post something on machine cutting at my forum, it will also be reposted here.

I would like to point out that the link for latest Sihouette Drivers does not work with Craft Robo. At least not the CC-200

I want to let you know that if you download ROBO Master V. 5.1 from from the Craft ROBO Downloads (CC330L-20), during the installation of v. 5.1 you will be asked which model you are using. Please don't just rapidly click Next (as I embarrassingly did ). Also this works on European (A4) models (as I have myself)



Select your model and you will be upgraded to 5.1 and you will be able to use all versions of ROBO Master up to 5.1.

Piper: I there a way to change this after install or do you have to uninstall and reinstall?

I admit; I just slammed through the install ... next ...next.. i agree... finish... didn't even look at what model was selected =P

You can just install over the Silhouette version. The Silhouette from your link does not give you the option to select model type. You have to get that from the Graphtec America site

So I'm trying to cut out a design that I made in Photoshop first. But when I set it to trace, it's actually making a cut line on both sides of the design's lines which wasn't a problem for my first few projects, but it's getting really frustrating now!!



Hopefully that pic helps to explain what I'm talking about. I realize I'll lose the inner spot on some of the lettering, and I'm fine with that, but I'd like to get rid of the 2nd cut line completely!

Thanks in advance!!

Most of the machine cut files that we make over here are done using the drawing functions, and not the trace function... because of the type of work we need to cut.
However we do need to use trace occasionally and what we do should work for you too

Take a look at the video in this thread here:-

Not quite clear from your picture and explanation, but what I think you are trying to do is a trace of a picture, what you might need to do is make a silhouette mask of the drawing you are trying to trace...and use that....Hope that helps

Hope someone can help - (found your forum by searching Craft Robo). I was just given a CC200-20 that was previously owned, but never used. I am trying to create an account on graphteccorp.com, but cannot find the serial number. I tried putting in the number that starts H711 - but it tells me that is not the serial. Is it hiding somewhere else?

Mine has a serial number starting with "S" on the left side of the back of the machine.

Mine starts with an "S" also.

Thanks! I'm not seeing anything that starts with an S...is that the number that's with the bar code?

I am here http://www.graphteccorp.com/craftrobo/s ... index.html trying to download the software. I got the driver, but when I go to the Cutting Master or any of the ones after that, it takes me to a log in area. The previous owner had sheet of paper with a username/password, but it doesn't work here. I emailed GraphtecCorp in the meantime and hopefully they can help me out. Since it was the weekend I thought I'd try hunting around on the net and found this board. Thank you so much for your assistance thus far, I appreciate it!

Is this still for sale? I can't find the device anywhere. Does the cameo work is there another one that would be a good alternative to the SD?

Nope. The SD stopped being made sometime in the last 2 years and the Cameo is the replacement. It still works, by all accounts, but the registration marks are different, so it has a learning curve and takes some practice. Look around here in this forum for those tips and lessons learned.
