General Instructions

All of my designs include four different formats. Please note that you have purchased the rights to these files. You must not transfer these rights to others, even though you are not going to use all the file types.

File Format/Type

• GSD format ~ to use with Wishblade, Robomaster, Silhouette and other suitable software.

• WPC format ~ to use with Pazzles, Funtime, WinPCSign software and its successors.

• AI format ~ can be used with Photoshop, coral draw and be imported into other suitable software.

• KNK format ~ to use with the Klic n Kut cutting machine.

• SVG Format ~ can be imported into Inkscape, coreldraw, SCAL and other compatible software
General information for all of my files:

Some of these files take several minutes to cut due to the number of lines. Depending on age and condition of your blade and mat, you may be able to cut the file at a somewhat smaller size. I do not recommend resizing any of my Mesh/lattice files to a drastically smaller size as due to the intricacy of these files it could result in the loss of detail and miss-cutting.

To use the files, first open the cutting /software program for your machine. Then, just select the file you wish to use by going to FILE >OPEN, and then browsing for the folder where you have saved the file. Then, browse for the file format for the software that you are

using. Double click to open the file. (Not all formats allow you to just double click to open them for instance the WPC format open by double click in Windows Explorer.)

Important

All lines shown as DASHED are meant to be cut as a dashed line unless I have indicated otherwise.

In some instances & in the interest of the design you may see the cutting lines extend beyond the cutting area & you will need to cut these last pieces manually with a paper trimmer, it is also important that you place your card/paper carefully and accurately.

General GSD information for all of my files

If a file is shown with more than one coloured line and you wish to cut one line colour at a time, just go to OUTPUT SETTINGS>CUTTING SETTINGS>CUTLINE SETTINGS and place a tick next to the line colour you wish to cut, load your paper and cut. Repeating with the other line colours and different coloured paper until all colours/pieces are cut.

Please make sure you set the dashed (fold) and cut lines correctly – I mainly use 1.3mm cut segment and 3.8mm spacing (OUTPUT SETTINGS>CUTTING SETTINGS>CUTLINE SETTINGS)

General WPC information for all of my files:

The lines in the WPC files are usually all grouped together. In order to break the lines apart, you need to click the required part of the image to select it, and then click SHAPE>BREAK GROUP. I usually cut the dashed lines first using the following settings KissCutx2 - Blade = 1
General KNK Information:

Open up your KNK program and then navigate to the file that you are wishing to cut. Please make sure that when you are cutting any file that has dashed lines, they need to go to CUT>PLOTTING DEFAULTS, and set the pounce feature also make sure that their file is set as SIGN BLANK. (You only need to do this for the sections that are meant to be cut with detailed dashed lines inside the cut. For all other cuts, if you use the PAGE setting, then you can cut your piece at the point where you set your origin, saving paper!)

Pazzles, Funtime, or WinPCSign users go to the Cutting Panel in the center of the top tool bar and click on the icon that looks like a cutting blade. Click on the color you wish to cut from the paper currently in your cutter. If you wish to select more than one color, hold the Shift key down while selecting all of the line colors you wish to cut. Set the pressure and cutting speeds in the appropriate windows in the Cutting Control Panel, and click on Start when you are ready to begin cutting.

Wishblade and CraftROBO users need to select cut lines by going to FILE>OUTPUT SETTINGS. Then click on the Cutting Settings Tab, and select Cutline Settings. Click on the line color(s) you wish to cut. If you want to cut any of the lines as dashed lines, click on the arrow to the right of the colors to select dashed lines.

Illustrator Bridge: If you are cutting directly from Illustrator using the Illustrator bridge then you need to go to FILE> WISHBLADE, and choose settings, or FILE>CRAFTROBO and choose settings.

From Pazzles to CraftROBO: To cut using directly from the Pazzles software to your CraftROBO, use FILE>PRINT, and select your cutter as the printer. Select Preferences and choose the desired settings from that window.


PLEASE -Make sure you check your cut line settings before cutting!
