i-cut Layout
The selection of a panel can be undone by clicking the Undo button on the Create Bleed Mask
window. The selection of panels is undone in the reverse order in which they were selected. When
there are no panels to undo, the Undo button is disabled.
Note:
Adding or removing panels is only applicable when using graphics containing a CAD as a cut path.
To complete a mask, click the close box of the Create Bleed Mask options window or simply click
any other tool in the toolbar. You can redo the mask at any time by selecting the Create Bleed Mask
tool again. The previous mask will be discarded and a new mask will be created.

Drawing a mask
To mask the graphic:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Click the 'Create Bleed Mask' button on the toolbar.
Enter a bleed amount.
Click in the document window on any panels that you want to exclude from the mask.
Click the Close button in the title bar.
You can use the Create Bleed Mask tool at any time, even if you use Placeholders. The example
above contains Placeholders. If you import a graphic later, the mask will be applied automatically
to the imported graphic.
Deleting a mask
Because the mask is an unfilled and uncolored contour, it is difficult to select and delete it in the
color view modes. However, you can easily identify and select the mask when you set the preview
mode to 'Cross' . Masks are always displayed as blue outlines in Cross and Contour modes, making
them easy to identify and select.
To delete a mask:
1. Set the display mode to Cross.
2. Locate and select the blue mask outline.
3. Press [Delete].
Replacing a mask
If you have an imported CAD die in your Graphic and then use the Draw Cut Path tool to create
a new die, the imported CAD die is replaced with the contours that you create with the tool. This
also applies if the cut path is on the trim box of the job. If the die is created in another way (e.g.
by extracting contours in a specific ink), this die is kept and should be deleted manually if it is
no longer wanted .
