10.06.7 Layers (SCAL PRO only)
•
There may be occasions where you want certain layers of your project to cut at different settings than other
layers. Three examples would be:
Cutting adhesive stickers where by you only want to kiss cut the stickers themselves, but then full cut
around groups of them.
Cutting a thick or dense material whereby you might want the first few passes to be at a lower pressure,
followed by a heavier pressure for the last few layers.
Using a rotary tool in the KNK Force whereby you want to engrave parts of the design before fully
cutting out outside of the design.

The
Cut by Layer
feature of SCAL5 involves four steps:
(1) Create
Presets
for the different settings to be used. This was covered in
Section 10.06.2.
(2) On the
Style Panel
, assign a
Preset
to each layer and order layers by
Preset.
(3) In the
Cut Order
window (refer to
Section 10.06.6
) change the
Order
to match the
Layers Panel
order
you wish to use.
(4) On the
Layers
tab in the
Cut Settings
window, select which layers will be cut and whether or not there
needs to be a pause between cutting the layers to change out a tool.
•
Using the first example, cutting adhesive stickers
, let’s assume that you have two blade holders set to cut
out stickers. One has the blade barely exposed so that the stickers will be kiss cut without penetrating the
backing sheet and the other blade holder is set to cut through the sticker material and the backing sheet.
A project is designed with two sets of stickers and outside cuts around each set:
Create two presets in the
Cut Settings
window. (Again, for directions on creating
Presets
, refer to
Section 10.06.2):
