Was working on a graphic today, designed it and shot it on glass, no problems. Then the same file, added a 5" x 7" box around it, no fill and turned the outline blue, hairline width(or red, tried both) and went to try to raster the graphic then vector the box to cut the part out of acrylic.
Laser ran the raster but with a light line coinciding with the outline box, and skipped the vector completely. I am very perplexed as to why it did the box that was a completely different color and should have been vectored. Went to the file and turned off the black raster portion, and re-sent the file with supposedly just the vector cuts, and the file send fails with "no data" or check a few other things warning. So, I completely delete the raster graphic, turn the blue outline black, resend the file and it works.
Not only the one file, but several others worked the same way today. Anything with raster set for black and vector set for blue or red was a no-go. And it's not like I haven't cut plenty of other things in raster and vector modes, so I'm more than a bit confused. Figured with all the experienced users here, somebody will point me at my probably stupid mistake....
