Question Cutting Master 4 default number of copies

[sleepyeyed]

Is there any way to set the number of copies a job cuts to a default of 1? The cutting master software retains the same number of copies from the previous job and has caused us to waste material as it's a setting that can easily be overlooked, especially when there's a lot going on in the shop and speed is critical. Oddly the default job properties allows me to change the media size, position, etc.., but the number of copies is greyed out. Any help is appreciated.

Thats when you cut it off, roll it up, and throw it in the trash... it never happened!

It happens to everyone. I remember cutting 3 4 FT decals... I walk away and come back 10 mins later and it's still cutting. Thought nothing of it... kept doing my thing, then when I turned around and saw a good 50 FT of vinyl on the floor and realized I didn't change the quantity from 20 to 3... that was a bad moment.

The worst part is when your cutting thick material like diamond grade... you switch the roll to a thin vinyl only to find your screensaver is on... You hit enter and in the back of your head you start hear the plotter going because pressing enter hit enter... and your cutting through your cutting strip.

I don't believe theres a way to change it to 1 - it's just a life lesson, stuff happens.

OH MY SOUL. This is so annoying! Wonder if there's any way to complain to whoever makes Cutting Master. I just started using it, so hopefully I will not waste TOO much vinyl before I remember to check quantity every time I cut something!
