The Preview displays the cut contours in the job. The color of the cut contour is the same as the color assigned to the cutting tool that will be used to cut.

As in the preview of any other CalderaRIP module, the following actions are available in the VisualCut Preview:

• Zoom in: press Ctrl and the right button on the mouse to zoom in. Alternatively, you can press Ctrl and scroll up using the mouse.
• Zoom out: press Ctrl and the left button on the mouse to zoom out. Alternatively, you can press Ctrl and scroll down using the mouse.
• Scroll the image: Press Ctrl while pressing the mouse scroll to move the image in the preview.
  

    Info

  Unlike in other CalderaRIP modules, you cannot use Alt+R keys to reset the Preview. To return to the default Preview, exit the job, and select another cut file. Then exit that cut file and return to the original job.

The following actions are available in the Preview.

Opacity

The Opacity scroll bar changes the opacity of the image in the Preview to better identify where the cut contours appear.

Examples

Cut orientation

To change the orientation of the cut file, use the Cut orientation buttons.

Examples

Force 180 degrees

Exclusive to CalderaCare subscribers, starting with CalderaRIP V15.1.

The Force 180 degrees option rotates the cut jobs by 180° to match rolling/unrolling 2-step workflows like sublimation or lamination.

Example

Cut selection

The cut selection tool is useful when you don't want to contour cut all the copies that appear in the job. Use your mouse to select which copies you want to contour cut in the Preview.

If the selection frame touches any part of a copy, all of its contours will be cut regardless of where the selection tool touches the copy.

Example

In this example, 2 copies are selected and the contour cut will be applied only to these copies. The copies with the pale frames will not be cut. The global frame is also activated because it is linked to each copy.

Remove selection frame button: removes the cut selection frame and applies the cut contour to all copies in the job.
