How to Create Backing Blanks

Click New Mat Design on the FrameShop Main Page.

Enter the desired Outside Dimensions for the Blanks.

Click the Send to CMC button.

Enter the number of blanks to cut in the # of Mats field.

Make sure that the Sheet Size is large enough to accommodate the number of Mats, otherwise they will roll over to the next mat which is displayed in the Total Sheets field.

Select Shared Edge for the Cut Mode.

• Not all CMCs have this feature.

• It will only cut the shared edges of the blanks and not the outside factory edge.

In this example, remember to rotate Finger Clamp number 3 before cutting.

• Finger Clamp number 3 is highlighted in red to indicate it will be in the way when cutting and will need to be rotated out of the cutting area.

Cut the mats.
