Cut Preview Configuration Backup and Overcut Display

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.
