[Roland CutStudio] palette

1. Buttons

|  |  | 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 extracts the contour lines for text.
|  |  | This merges overlapping paths, making the outer contours a single path.
|  |  | This visualizes paths that have width as shapes and extracts their contour lines. The configurations of line-end and box shapes are extracted without alteration, but dotted lines are visualized as line segments.
|  |  | This creates a path that is offset either inward or outward from the existing path. The [Path Offset] dialog box appears.
|  |  | 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.
|  |  | This marks the selected path. This marker is used for culling output paths. Marked paths are shown using red lines in the Preview.
|  |  | A perforated cut will be made along the selected path. To output only perforation data, select "Output Perforations" under "3. Cull Output Paths".
