• Use the Cut from Front toggle to select whether you want to cut from the Front or the Back of the mat.

• Mats containing elements that are administered to the Front of the mat (i.e., Deboss, Pen, V-Grooves, etc.,) will still force it to cut from the Front. 

• The elements will be applied to the Front of the mat, and any Openings on that layer will also cut from the Front of the mat.

• For Additional Information: 

• See Options > Switch Between Front and Normal Tools on the Cut Preview.

• See Options > Always use Normal Tool on the Cut Previewto toggle on/off this feature.

• See Options > Cut From Front on the Cut Previewto select whether to cut the design from the Front of the mat.

• Default Settings:

• See Admin > Cuttingfor the default settings for Cutting from the FrontorBack.

• See Admin > Cutting for the default setting for Cutting With the 45° Front Cartridge when cutting from the front of the mat.

• See Admin > Cutting for the default setting for cutting with the Normal 45° Cartridge when cutting from the front of the mat.

Cutting from the Back will cut with the back of the mat toward the operator, and can be selected on the Cutting Cut Preview.

• On the Configurations screen the Current Bevel Type dropdown control will display the bevel types in this manner:

  • Cut from the Back bevel type names will be displayed with no further label; i.e., Normal Bevel.

  • Cut from the Front bevel type names will be displayed with a Front label; i.e., Normal Bevel-Front of Mat.

  • V-Grooves have their own selection on the list.

If you are cutting an element that must be applied to the front of the mat, such as a V-Groove or Pen design, any openings on that layer will also cut from the front and use the Front of Mat configuration item; i.e., Normal Bevel-Front of Mat.

So if you are having problems with a Normal Bevel cut on the same layer as a V-Groove, make sure you select Normal Bevel-Front of Mat to edit the configurations for that opening.
