Cut Options

Select the desired outside cut option from the Outside Cut Options dropdown control. 

The setting selected for the outside cut will be used on the next mat cut.

Select Off from the Outside Cut Options dropdown control.

The outside of the mat will not be cut. 

Select Shared Edge from the Outside Cut Options dropdown control to cut the shared edges of the outside cuts as one stroke between the designs instead of cutting the outside of each mat individually.   

If cutting a single design, it will cut only the top and right lines of the outside cut, using the factory edge for the left and bottom edges of the mat, thus not wasting any matboard since the 9000z can cut right to the edges. 

If cutting a tiled mat, this will cut the outside shared lines between designs as one cut, rather than cutting each design's outside edge individually.

When Tiling, make sure that the Spacing under the Setup Tab is set to zero (0) so that each design shares the outside lines with the next design, so it will only cut the single line between them. 

If you have Remnant Trimming on, it will also cut off the scrap edge.

Select Full from the Outside Cut Options dropdown control to cut the complete outside edge of the design.

When tiling mats, it will cut out the complete outside edge of each design.

If you have Remnant Trimming on, it will also cut off the scrap edge.

Select As Designed from the Outside Cut Options dropdown control to cut the outside as originally designed.  

This can be helpful when coming from Trace or Nesting where you have already determined how you want the outside to be cut.

If you have Remnant Trimming on, it will also cut off the scrap edge.

Optionally, click Set Advanced Options to access the Advanced Outside Cut Options.

The selected Cut Mode will be used until a different option is selected.
