Section 7: Using the Epilog Dashboard

Vector Color Mapping
Usually when using Color Mapping in Vector mode users want to both cut and
mark a single piece of material in a single job setup. Since the cutting and
marking processes have different speed and power requirements, this is a perfect
job for Color Mapping. Wood and acrylic are common materials used with vector
Color Mapping.
The following screen shows a simple architectural drawing. The drawing is set up
so that when we use Color Mapping, we will assign one Speed and Power setting
to first mark the window frames using the color green set at one Speed and Power,
then cut all the way through our material to remove the window panes using the
color red for a different speed and power.
The outside frame of the house will not be Color Mapped; however, it, and any
other lines that might be in the drawing will be cut at the Speed and Power
settings for Vector mode in the General Tab of the Dashboard.
Assign a green outline to
the window frame and a
red outline to the four
window panes.
