10.01 The Style Panel

•
The Style Panel has various settings that are typically, but not necessarily, applied for the purpose of
cutting and printing:

Set a contour cut (Shadow)

Remove any interior shapes (Blackout)

Apply a weld (Union) on any overlapping shapes (only applied during printing and/or cutting)

Assign an intended use for the layer (called Cut Line Type)

Assign a layer to a particular tool (for cutters with more than one head)
•
To open this panel, click on the Style icon on the Properties Panel:

•
Style: In this menu are various combinations of Shadow and Blackout applications. Refer to Section 9.04
for instructions and examples. Note, however, that if you later change your mind and you haven't applied
any subsequent changes (such as those in the Path menu), then re-selecting Normal from the Style drop-
down menu will restore the original style.

For example, let's say you've applied Blackout to a shape and then cut it out. You can now select that
same shape and return the style to Normal:

•
Weld: This option applies the Union function (refer to Section 9.05.1) to any overlapping shapes.

Note that if the shapes are on different layers, the Weld option needs to be marked on each layer.

As mentioned before, settings in the Style window do no become permanent changes to the shapes on
the Cutting Mat. However, you can verify the Weld effect by clicking on the Preview icon
Toolbar (for more details on Preview, refer to Section 10.02):
