Tools
Tools are assigned to individual elements in your patterns in the Pattern Editor. Each element can have a different tool or all use the same tool. You can assign any color you want to any tool. Only valid tools are available to assign to elements based on the element type.
All of your tools will fit into one of the following categories: Marking, Cutting, Drilling, or Creasing. Each tool is associated with a distinct cutting or marking process. Every process type is sent to the cutter using different commands. For each category, the following processes are possible:
| Tool Category | Possible Processes | Element Types |
|---|---|---|
| Marking | Mark, Inkjet | All, except barcodes |
| Text and barcodes only | ||
| Cutting | Cut | All except points or text |
| Notch | Notches only | |
| Drilling | Drill, Punch | Points only |
| Creasing | Crease | All except points or text/barcodes |
