In corel draw there is a cool feature called powerclip that i use to place objects inside letters/graphics. I was just wondering how you could do this in signlab. Im using colormaster. Any ideas? Also is there any way you can still work in signlab while you are cutting? I have a job im working on that is taking a very long time to cut and i have to do layouts too! Thanks in advance, Ryan

Yes, Signlab has a spooler. You can work and cut at the same time. There are various welding options in Signlab, you can leave the parts that intersect or everything but those.

Jim's correct.
On the file bar click on CUT then on PLOTTER SETUP and X out the spooler function.
You can spool a bunch of jobs that way and still design while the plotter is busy.
Sorry I don't know too much about powerclip function.
Good luck!

Unfortunately, "power clipping" is only available in illustration software. Neither SignLab nor any other vinyl cutting software that I am aware of has that feature.
The powerclip, as in Corel works like one of the welding functions in Signlab.

Depending on the graphic, a basic weld should work. I've done simple ones this way. As far as the spooler goes I would be lost without it. It's running right now. I allow myself internet time as long as the plotters running.
