Common
Cutting Problems/Settings
There are a number of common cutting problems which can
be adjusted and fixed in the Plotter Settings window.
However, to simplify this process and automatically
apply these settings we have added some shortcuts in the
Settings menu in the Vinyl Spooler. These common
problems are as follows:
|
Tight Packing |
|
Sets the gap to be much closer between
Cutfiles when nested and optimized |
|
Force Position |
|
Forces the Cutfile to the
x,y position it was placed in the Cutfile Document |
|
Preserve Cutting Order |
|
When selected does not
optimize the cutting path. This reduces tracking
problems on cutters that lose alignment when
cutting complex artwork
|
|
Set Default Feed Cmds |
|
Applies the End Method and
Extra Feed that you have set under the
Settings tab in the Vinyl Spooler |
|
Change Rotation |
|
Changes the Origin Mode
(Rotation) from the current Origin Mode on the device
itself (see Units in the Plotter Settings window) |
|
Set Blade Compensation |
|
Sets how much to offset the
blade when travelling around sharp corners (ideal for
cutting small text with Asian cutters) |
