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