Cutting Master 3 Can't rotate

[datoshway]

I've got a job in cutting master 3, i'm new to this software.

When I send it to CM3, it automatically is rotating my job from what it originally was and the Rotate button is grayed out. Any help?

possibly larger than defined media if rotated?

Check the type of crop marks you are using, if you use the segmented type with the "T" shaped intermediate mark you can't rotate your layout to cut.
You might be using segmented without out knowing it, if the step size is too large CM won't add the center marks but still label them that way and prevent rotation in CM.
I just ran into this after applying the new updates for CM.
If you want to use segmented crop marks you need to rotate your layout so it is going the way you want it to in the cutter before adding in the crops.

Not sure,
but if you are asking if the "4 Mark type 1 or 2" can be rotated then yes.
I think the 3 and 2 mark sets can't be rotated.

You are correct. If you have more than your standard 4 corner marks, make sure you know you are printing the design the right way, otherwise, if not enough vinyl on the trailing side, you will have to splice another piece or scrap t.
