Section 4 Printing and Cutting with PTCreate

PTCreate is everything you will need to layout your prints and cuts for your LX610. Every object that
you place in your layout, can be set to print only, cut only or Print and Cut. There are two different
versions.  The Standard version comes with the printer.  The Professional version can be purchased.
After a 30-day trial the Professional version requires an activation code.  During the trial you can use
the program but you are not able to save files or send cut files to the printer.

4A Overview (Standard version vs Pro version)

All features are available in both Pro and Standard unless noted otherwise.

1.

Layers.

(Pro Only) Layers allows you to see and manipulate layers of imported SVG files

or elements added within PTCreate. SVG files can be created in programs like Adobe
Illustrator.
