This outputs the paths to the cutting machine. Bitmap images and text are not output. Paths which have no width are also not output, but filled areas are. Path widths, dotted lines, line-end shapes, and box shapes are ignored. Using [Cull Output Paths] lets you output only those paths that meet certain conditions. Clicking this button displays the [CutStudio Output] dialog box. |

This inserts crop marks in the artboard. (When the artboard is multilayer, crop marks are inserted on the bottom layer.) Note, however, that this setting has no effect when the [Type] setting for crop marks has been set to the SV-15/12/8. (To choose the type of crop marks, at the Palette menu, click [Crop Marks].) Crop marks are used when media printed on a printer is aligned for cutting. When you make the settings for the crop-mark locations, it is necessary to take into account the margins that are required when cutting is performed. For more information, see "Crop Marks." To make the settings for the locations, go to the Palette menu and click [Crop-mark]. When you are inserting crop marks and performing printing and cutting, arrange the paths and images within the area inside the crop marks. This area is shown in gray in the Preview. |
