Flexi Cutting Options

[jmmccann]

This may be a dumb question, but I've always set my knife pressure and velocity at the cutter instead within Flexi. If I set them within flexi, does the software just override whatever settings are on the cutter?

What kind of cutter do you have?
I think most have an option to set the priority for the override to either the software or the printer.
You could set the pressure to near zero in Flexi and see what happens when you try to cut a piece of scrap.
With the Graphtec I set it from the cutter as it is simple and faster to do a quick test cut and set the origin over using Flexi.

Like Wayne I prefer to set depth at the plotter for the reasons he stated. But if you do want to try it you need to change a setting on your plotter. On a Graphtec I am pretty sure its called CONDITION PRIORITY under the TOOLS menu, change it to SOFTWARE.

I set mine at the cutter also.

I set mine in the file through flexI as I think it keeps the settings so the next time you open the file you know what depth and speed etc you used the last time. Great when you are using differect materials
