Print and Cut Layers
Posted: Sun Feb 11, 2018 8:13 pm
I use SCAL Pro with my Black Cat Cougar Cutter.
I've been using print and cut for quite a time now and it is great. But each time I go to cut a graphic I've been going to the layer panel and hiding the image or print layer and leaving the cut layer open so that the cutter doesn't cut all the detail within the graphic, not just the cut line around the outside. I do this manually.
I know you can change layer colours so that you can only cut a layer of a particular colour but when I try to change only the cut layer to another colour it changes all the layers.
Question - when I trace the image it creates a .png file with two layers - print and cut. But each layer has the same colour swatch. Is there any way I can automatically select only the cut layers, so that I don't have to manually hide the print layers individually.
Looking forward to some help. Thanks.
