Cutting Defaults

The Auto Offset moves the design up and over on the Cut Preview to avoid the Clamp area.

This is to overcome the Border Limitation of 1.25"/3.2 cm on the Cut Preview.

The Continuous Layer will keep cutting the Current Layer without rolling over to the next layer.

It will stay on the Current Layer until the user manually selects a different layer or turns off Continuous Layer.

See: Continuous Layer Function

Cutting from the Front will cut with the face of the mat toward the operator, and can be selected on the Cutting Preview.

• On the Configurations screen the Current Bevel Type dropdown control will display the bevel types in this manner:

  • Cut from the Back bevel type names will be displayed with no further label; i.e., Normal Bevel.

  • Cut from the Front bevel type names will be displayed with a Front label; i.e., Normal Bevel-Front of Mat.

  • V-Grooves have their own selection on the list.

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.   

Cutting from the Back will cut with the back of the mat toward the operator, and can be selected on the Cutting Preview.

• On the Configurations screen the Current Bevel Type dropdown control will display the bevel types in this manner:

  • Cut from the back bevel type names will be displayed with no further label; i.e., Normal Bevel.

  • Cut from the Front bevel type names will be displayed with a Front label; i.e., Normal Bevel-Front of Mat.

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.

The Outside Bevel is created by cutting into the fallout surface with the blade angled at 45°/52°, thereby slanting the bevel under the fallout surface. The matboard core is not visible from the front.

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.

Select Outside or Outside-Front of Mat from the Current Bevel Type dropdown control to edit this configuration.
