CutArt™ are simple shapes and design elements created by Wizard that can be added to designs. CutArts can be applied to your current design and edited, such as resizing and rotating. They can be Cut, Debossed, Penned or cut on Vinyl. See: Add CutArt Function Templates are specialized parametric shape generators created by Wizard. Many of the templates have additional Properties that can be edited which can change the shape, curves and corners of the design as well as a wide assortment of Parameters. The Template Library displays the different templates that are available for use. See: Template Properties See: Template Library The Normal Bevel Closed V-Groove involves two symmetrical cuts: one in the matboard and a corresponding cut in the fallout, both forming a mirrored arrangement. The matboard is sliced halfway through the thickness and the core is visible from the front. First Cut: Cuts the Interior cut into the Fallout Clockwise. Second Cut: Cuts the Exterior cut into the Matboard Counter-Clockwise. Select V-Groove from the Current Bevel Type dropdown control to edit this configuration.

Break all Intersections | |
|---|---|
The Break Tool tool is used to Bisect the Selected Segments at the point where they Intersect in the Trace software. The Break All Intersections function bisects ALL Segments in the design where they intersect in the Trace software. |  |

Join Segments | |
|---|---|
The Line tool in Trace will draw a Two-Point Line. The Line is defined by two points: Initial Position (called an Anchor) and the Terminating Position (called an Anchor). After it is drawn, a third point in the Center will be displayed, which can be moved to alter the line into an Arc. See: Line Tool Function The Join button will connect the Selected Segments together as one object in Trace. The Auto Join Segments button will automatically join All Adjacent Segments together in Trace. See: Join Tool Function |  |

Auto Join Segments | |
|---|---|
The Join button will connect the Selected Segments together as one object in Trace. The Auto Join Segments button will automatically join All Adjacent Segments together in Trace. See: Join Tool Function Tracing the Design provides the Bevel Type and other necessary information to the Vector design in order to either Cut or apply with a Non-Blade Tool on the CMC. The Set Bevels Tab in Trace contains the tools needed to Trace the design. See: Tracing the Design |  |

The Bevel Type refers to the angle at which the blade cuts the surface of the matboard when it deviates from the 90° right angle cut. The Tangify function will smooth the connection between the Selected Arc Circuits that are below the specified Angle in the Tangify field to provide a smoother cutting transition between the arcs. The Tangify All Circuits will smooth the connection between All of the Arc Circuits that are below the specified Angle in the Tangify field to provide a smoother cutting transition between the arcs. See: Tangify Function See: Tangify All Circuits Function See: Arc Tool in Trace See: Arc Tool Definition See: Splines Definition The Convert Arc to Splines process will convert the Arcs to Splines which are easier to tangify to make cuts smoother.
