Changing the weed border
A weed border surrounds a job with a cut line that separates the job from the scrap (weed)
vinyl. A weed border allows you to easily remove the excess vinyl from the job. The weed
border displays as a blue box surrounding the active job in GSPPlot.
There are three options for weed border settings.
♦
Weed Border On cuts a weed border 0.1 (25.4 mm) from the job’s edge.
♦
Weed Border Off eliminates the weed border. When the weed border is turned off, the
start point for cutting is moved closer to the job by the width of the border.
♦
Weed Border Special turns the weed border on, even though it does not display and it
does not cut. A special weed border allows you to maintain the spacing of the weed
border without actually plotting or cutting it.
