we have just bought the upgrade for 2d design which is version 2, but we are unable to work out how to get the registration marks (opas) on the page so that we can use it with our GRAPHTEC 3000 ,please can you help

We're not sure about this - seems like no-one has ever used OPAS here.

How did you do it in V1 Techsoft ? - we may be able to help you do the same thing in V2

Have a look at UKSignBoards.com forum - they have a few posts about OPAS.

don't know much about this but if you have still have the old version of techsoft will the marks not copy and paste into the v2 techsoft?

alternatively if you have a file with the marks on you could import the file into techsoft v2.

i also have a graphtec machine and also have no idea how to operate the opas function so if anyone has any help regerding this issue.......please help.

i understand it will be placing dots or other readable media on the drawing then its simply setting up the machine thats the bit i dont know?

if you read through the instruction booklet (available as a pdf file from the graphtec website) it does tell you how to set up the registration marks. it is quite tricky. you choose where the marks go and programme the graphtec to read them
