8.1 Launching ColorCut Pro - Production Studio (Direct Mode)
8.1.1 Selecting the Cutline Layer.
It is important to note that when you launch ColorCut Pro - Production Studio, the
software will examine the currently selected ‘Layer’ in your graphics application and
isolate all vector lines and curves on the page.
You may see an Error Message if there are artwork elements or images on
the layer selected when you launch ColorCut Pro. Therefore by drawing the
cutting profile and the artwork graphic on separate layers you may simplify
the process.
In this example the graphic layer is active; this drawing is ready for printing.
8.1.2 Select the layer for the cutting
Ensure ONLY the vector lines you wish to send to your Intec ColorCut
cutter are on the layer selected before launching ColorCut Pro. In the
example below, the layer is ready for you to launch ColorCut Pro.
