Use the Change Start button to change the Start Cutting Point of an object.
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.
Fallout Definition
The Fallout/Dropout is the part of the mat that is removed when a design is cut.
Typically, the Fallout is discarded, or saved for another project if large enough.
Through Nesting, another design may be cut within the Fallout.
Select the desired Bevel/Cartridge Type you wish to change the initial plunge for from theBevel/Cartridge Type Selection section by clicking the radio button next to it.
Only the objects matching the Bevel/Cartridge Type selection will be displayed.
The other Bevel/Cartridge Types of the design on the screen will be grayed out.
Bevel Type Definition
TheBevel Type is the Angle that the blade cuts on the Matboard/Fallout surface when it is not cut at a 90° Right Angle.
Cartridge Definition
A Cartridge is the physical component that holds a Blade, Deboss Stylus, Pen or other application tool.
