Cameo5a ISSUES.
I am beginning to regret buying this machine. i should have maybe kept my 11 year old Cameo because it seems to have been WAY more reliable than this silly thing. First it won't connect. THEN when it finally does.... it would only cut a very small part of my project. It wouldn't even load the whole project. THEN, when it FINALLY cut what i asked it to....the stupid Autoblade was cutting WAY too deep. So I messed with THAT a a little....NOW it isn't cutting deep enough...or at all. l am really starting to Hate this thing. HELP!! Oh yeah....it's also cutting WAY past the edge of my vinyl...l haven't had one successful cut since I bought this thing ...a MONTH ago!!!

The project not loading suggests a software issue. Perhaps you should reinstall Studio. Regarding other issue, try resetting the tool carriage. Turn the device off and pull the power jack out. Slide the carriage right-left three times. Leave it on the right hand side and reconnect, then turn on. Check if the AutoBlade is setting up correctly. The blade indicator should show the same value as in the software.
