window. Click the Refresh Job Palette button to update the vinyl colors in the job.
The first color is the background or substrate color and will not output. The
subsequent colors are the vinyl colors that will be output in the job.
To assign a single vinyl color to the entire job
1 Click Select > All. Locked or hidden objects will not be selected.
2 Be sure View > Vinyl Palette > Show Job Palette is checked.
3 Click on a single vinyl color swatch from the vinyl palette.

2. Check and assign fills and strokes

Select the objects to be filled and click the Fill or Stroke tool to open the Assign Colors
dialog box. See the chapters dedicated to assigning fills and strokes for more
information on these topics.

3. Check and assign or remove object cut lines

Use Cuts On to add a plotter knife cut line around a selected object. Be certain to turn on
the cut for any object you intend to cut on the plotter. Vinyl only shapes (without fills or
strokes) can only be cut shapes.
Use Cuts Off to remove plotter cut lines. Cuts Off does not work on unfilled/unstroked
objects.
Use Delete Cuts to delete cut-only objects or to turn cuts off of filled/stroked objects.
Use any of the Cuts buttons in the Arrange toolbar as shown above, or access these commands
from the Arrange menu.
Note: When removing cutlines on EDGE fonts, use Suppress Fill Cuts rather than Delete
Cuts for best results. See "Creating filled text or objects without cutlines."

4. Check and rearrange objects in the stacking order

The stacking order of objects and layers in a job correspond with the order of objects in the
Layer Tree when designing with layers. You can reorder layers and objects in several ways.
Layer Tree
Click and drag objects or layers to their new position in the Layer Tree. Dragging a layer or
object to a new position above it in the Layer Tree positions it in front of the target layer or
object in the job. Dragging a layer or object to a new position below it in the Layer Tree
positions it behind the target layer or object in the job.
Right-click context menu
Reorder objects on a layer by right-clicking the object and selecting a command from the context
menu. The context menu command can apply to multiple objects or layers that are selected.
