Creating an Original Pattern
For this example, the offset line created inside the selected cutting data pattern will be converted to dot data for paper piercing (hole
punching), and then data combining the cutting data and the dot data will be created.
a Select the pattern to be pierced.
b Create an offset line inside (inward offset) the selected pattern.
For details on editing in CanvasWorkspace, select [Online Video Tutorials...] from the [Help] menu.
If the pattern will not be cut out, it is not necessary to add an offset line. Continue to step
c to convert the cutting data to dot data for paper
piercing (hole punching).
c Select the inner line created in step b, and then select [Pierce] below [Operation] in the control panel.
The selected cutting data is converted to dot data.
d If necessary, change the color and spacing of the dots.
e Save the pattern, or send it to the cutting machine.
For details, see “Selecting an Activated Paper Piercing Pattern” on page 4.
