Configurations Map

  • The Configuration Map is the mapping diagram that displays the Internal and External Backups and Overcuts for the selected Current Bevel Type in the current Cartridge Type Tab.

  • The arrows display the cutting direction, and are color coordinated to match up with the backup and overcut fields. 

  • The maps are displayed from the front of the matboard.
