Cut Mode controls where shapes will cut on the material. Typically, you will choose Origin Point to be
more efficient with material. Shapes will be aligned and cut next to the origin you set on the material. If
the Cut Mode is set to WYSIWYG, shapes will cut based on their placement in the document (mat) area
as shown in screenshots which follow.
Use Software Speed and Pressure: Enabling this option will use the Pressure and Speed settings in
Create Space, thus overriding those set on the ARTisan’s control panel.
Create an array of repeats and change their sizing, as needed.
Check the Preview to make sure it seems correct.
Make sure Send mode is set to Send now if you are cutting directly to the ARTisan immediately.
When you are ready to send the project to the ARTisan, click on Send.
