Check the Enable Rail Dodge checkbox to use a Rail Dodge on CMC 9000 and 8000. This is similar to the Enable Auto Clamp Offset above. A Rail Dodge is a small piece of matboard or other material used to position the pre-cut matboard up into the cutting area when using borders less than 1.5" and not cutting the outside. Enter the distance to move the design in the X Origin field; the Y Origin field uses the same number value. It will move the lower left corner of the design to the new X/Y position and it will display Dodge on the bottom of the screen. Note: The outside cut is shown here merely for visual reference of where the pre-cut matboard will be positioned on the board. This feature can also be used to move the design to avoid flaws in the matboard. See Also: Fixture for Rail Dodge. | |
