Using the UDISK (USB thumb drive) option involves saving a .PLT file containing the cut design and
some or all of the cut settings. This file can then be opened directly onto the ARTisan and cut.
Remember that with this option, once the file is saved to the thumb drive, the design is locked in
and cannot be edited.
