Simulating The Cutting Order - Roland Camm-1 GR2-640 User Manual

Setting Up Cutting by Layer

Simulating the Cutting Order

This procedure simulates the order of cutting output for all layers or by layer prior to actual cutting,
and automatically sorts the output order in the defined direction.
Procedure
1.
Start GreatCut-R.
2.
Display cutting data, which includes the cutting lines, on the GreatCut-R work screen.
• GreatCut-R format file:
Select the cutting data from [File]>[Open], and then click [Open].
• Other files:
Select the cutting data from [File]>[Import], and then click [Open].
MEMO
CorelDRAW format files cannot be imported into GreatCut-R. Open the target cutting data in CorelDRAW and
click on the menu bar.
3.
Click [Design]>[Sort with Simulation].
The [Sort with Simulation] window appears.
4.
Select simulation method ( ) for layer ( ).
Simulation method cannot be selected if there is only one layer (color) in the cutting data.
• To run a simulation of the selected layer, select [Selected layer].
• To run a simulation of all layers, select [All layers].
Moving the square frame that indicates the currently selected layer to a layer that is not
the topmost layer after selecting [All layers] will set up a simulation for only the layers
under the layer with the square frame.
5.
Adjust the simulation speed using the slider and click
The simulation starts. Check the cutting order and cutter path.
6.
To change the order of cutting output, select [Sorting method] and click [Sort].
To sort by [By main direction], select the output direction that you want to change to by
scrolling down the options in [Main Direction]. The current output direction is displayed on the
left side.
