Configuring the Cutting Conditions Based on the Color of Cutting Lines

You can set cutting conditions for each layer. Because objects drawn using vector lines are also grouped into layers, check whether a layer includes cutting lines while setting the cutting conditions.
Procedure
  1. Start GreatCut-R.
  2. Display cutting data, which includes the cutting lines, on the GreatCut-R work screen.
    • GreatCut-R format file:
      • Select the cutting data from File - Open, and then click Open.
    • Other files:
      • Select the cutting data from File - Import, and then click Open.
    MEMO CorelDRAW format files cannot be imported into GreatCut-R. Open the target cutting data in CorelDRAW and click CD_icon_Cut on the menu bar.
  3. Right-click on any layer in the Layer window.
    The Layer Settings window appears. If the Layer window is not displayed, turn on Window - Layer.
  4. Click the layer with the cutting lines used in the cutting data and configure the layer's output settings.
    Clicking Output or Color switches the display of the Layer Settings window.
