cut out tool

[carrothers]

I have a .5 depth piece on a carrier board that also measures .5; so when I'm working in Designer I put in the 1.0 measurement for depth. After I finish my design, I want to put an oval around it and have it cut out. I can't find any where on the cut tool tab where you choose the depth of the board? Do I go back and put .5 in the original measurements for the board. Thanks for any advice.

Yes,put the actual board size into designer, if you leave it at 1" the machine will give an error or
try to cut throught the project board and the carrier.

Page 4 and 5

“Select Cut Through Depth”
1) Project
2) Board

You will select

Project (press 1) because you want the


machine to know that the cutouts are on a 1/4” thick


board just like was specified in the project file (mpc


file). Anytime you select the other option (Board) the


machine will ignore the thickness you specified for the


board and base it’s cut depth on the measurement of


the board thickness you put in the machine.


Since this project requires a carrier board to put the


1/4” thin stock on, you do NOT want the machine to


combine the thickness of the board and the carrier

board because it will cut all the way through both! Of

course, that’s NOT what you want!
