◊ Cut Perimeter: turn on this option if you want the original shape to be engraved as well:
◊ Cleanup Flange: turn on this option to have an engraving of the original shape, but along the edges of
the engraving lines. Note that there is also a Flange Offset setting which is a percentage distance from
the original shape to the engraving lines. These settings are typically not needed with small diameter
tools, like the Skycut engraver, so you most likely won’t have a need to activate Cleanup Flange.
◊ Tool Diameter: The size of the engraving tip, pen nib, embossing tip, or other tool. For the Skycut
engraver, use 0.004 inches or 0.1 mm.
◊ Tool Offset: This setting is the distance between the engraving lines as a percentage of the Tool
Diameter. Lowering this setting will decrease the spacing between the lines:
◊ Hatch Offset: This setting controls the distance from the engraving fill to the outside perimeter of the
original shape, again as a percentage of the tool diameter. A setting of 0% will extend the pattern all the
way to the perimeter:
