3.8 CUTTING THE CONTOUR
• Follow the specific instructions for contour cutting in your software. If there are no
such instructions, follow the explanation below.
• Move the entire design (cross-marks and contours included) in your software so that
the origin mark is situated in the lower left corner of the cutting area (In most sign-
making software the orientation is landscape. If not, you will have to rotate
everything).
• Select the contours and cut them out:
♦ Make sure that only the contours are cut.
♦ Make sure that the origin of the cutting area is used.
⇒ Some software will shift the selected contours to the origin when cutting. This
can be avoided by adding a small rectangle that has its lower left corner right
in the origin. Select this rectangle together with the contours.
