A Cartridge is the physical component that holds the Blade, Deboss Stylus, Pen or other application tool.

Cut Example and Cartridge with Blade

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.
