Select the Bevel Type from the Dropdown Control

Select the Bevel Type from the Dropdown Control

After selecting the desired Cartridge Type Tab, select the desired Bevel Type or Cartridge Type to edit from the Current Bevel Type dropdown control. The default is Normal Bevel.

The different bevel types, including whether it is cutting from the front or the back, will determine the direction the head travels as it cuts, and dictates whether the corner is a backup or an overcut.

Cutting from the Back or Front

Cutting from the Back or Front

Cutting from the Back

Note that there is a separate bevel type configuration for cutting from the Front and cutting from the Back

Configurations cut from the Back will only display the bevel type name with no further label; i.e., Normal Bevel.

If you are cutting an element that must be applied to the front of the mat, such as a V-Groove or pen design, any openings on that layer will also cut from the front and use the Front of Mat configuration item; i.e., Normal Bevel - Front of Mat.

So if you are having problems with a Normal Bevel cut on the same layer as a V-Groove, make sure you select Normal Bevel - Front of Mat to edit the configurations for that opening.  

Select the Correct Bevel Type and Whether Cut From the Front or Back. This Example is From the Back.
