•
Cut Line Type: There are five options in this menu:
Cut: choose this option for regular cutting. Because this is the default, you don't normally need to select
it.
Pen: choose this option when using a pen, embosser, engraver, glue pen, rotary tool or other device
that doesn't require a blade offset.
Print+Cut Cut: in print and cut applications, choose this option for the layer that will be cut.
Print+Cut Print: in print and cut applications, choose this option for the layer that will be printed only. It
will not appear in the cut window.
Color layer alignment (Pro version only): in applications such as vinyl where several layers will be cut
from different colors and aligned, choose this option for the layer that has registration shapes that need
to be cut from every color along with that color's shapes. These registration shapes can then be used
to layer the colors perfectly. Refer to the last part of Section 10.06.2.
•
Tool: for cutters with more than one head, such as the KNK Force, choose if the layer should be executed
by the left side or by the right side.
