Use the Change Start button to change the Start Cutting Point of an object.
Info
There are a number of reasons to change the Cut Start.
If you are having difficulties cutting a complex design and the blades are breaking or it is skipping steps, it may help to start the cut in a different place, such as in a corner rather than in the middle of two arcs.
You may also want to do this if you are having problems with Fallouts sliding behind the mat you are cutting. Changing Cut Orderand Changing Start Cut Points may resolve some of these issues.
