The
Style Panel
has various settings that are typically, but not necessarily, applied for the purpose of
cutting and printing:
Set a contour cut (
Shadow
)
Remove any interior shapes (
Blackout
)
Apply a weld (
Union
) on any overlapping shapes (only applied during printing and/or cutting)
Assign an intended use for the layer (
called Cut Line Type
)
Assign a layer to a particular tool (for cutters with more than one head)
Assign
Presets
to a layer (for
Cut by Layer
applications in SCAL5 Pro)

To open this panel, click on the
Style
icon on the
Properties Panel
:
•
Style
: In this menu are various combinations of
Shadow
and
Blackout
applications. Refer to
Section 9.05
for instructions and examples
.
Note, however, that if you later change your mind and you haven’t applied
any subsequent changes (such as those in the
Path
menu), then re-selecting
Normal
from the
Style
drop-
down menu will restore the original style.
For example, let’s say you’ve applied
Blackout
to a shape and then cut it out. You can now select that
same shape and return the style to
Normal
:
•
Weld:
This option applies the
Union
function (refer to
Section 9.06.1
) to any overlapping shapes.
Note that if the shapes are on different layers, the
Weld
option needs to be marked on each layer.
