Outputting Only the Line for Cutting

To output data only for perforated cutting later, or to combine different colored sheets into a single product, you may want to specify the lines to be used for cutting.

In Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW, you can select whether to create paths in layers or to output only for individual layers.

The method for doing so varies according to the software, such as selecting the target layer before output, or specifying whether the layer itself should be printed or not. For more information on operation, refer to the documentation for the software you are using.

CutStudio includes a function for sorting output data by line color.

You can color lines beforehand and choose which color lines to output.

Procedure
  1. Select an object to apply color to.
  2. Click the Line Style and Color tab on the docking panel.
  3. Click Color under Cut Line, and select the color you want to specify.
