Memo

• The orientation of the data does not change automatically

if the orientation of the artboard was changed.

• Even if data is created in the landscape orientation, it will

be changed to the portrait orientation when exported as

cutting data (FCM file). For details on cutting data, see

“Exporting Data as FCM File” on page 7.

• The size of the artboard appears as the size of the material.

The red box indicates the cutting area. Cutting cannot be

done in the areas above and below and to the left and right

aRed box

■Creating Cutting Data

You can either create original data in CanvasWorkspace or

import data, then edit it. For this example, we will create data

by editing the pre-installed sample pattern.

aSelect (Roll Feeder) in the object panel, and then drag

the pattern into the drawing area.

Memo

• Adjust the pattern so that it fits within the red box. For

details, see “Creating Data” on page 4.

• A pattern can also be positioned in the drawing area by

clicking the pattern.

• Data created with the machine, for example, scanned data

or built-in patterns, can also be used with the roll feeder.

After importing the data into CanvasWorkspace, select

[Rolled Material] under [Artboard Size], and then export it

as an FCM file.

bEdit the sample pattern.

Memo

• For details on editing in CanvasWorkspace, select [Online

Video Tutorials...] from the [Help] menu.

• By adding a margin at the beginning of the data, multiple

copies can be continuously cut out with a certain amount

of space between them.

After creating the cutting data, export it or transfer it to the

cutting machine. For details on exporting data to a computer

or USB flash drive as an FCM file (which can be retrieved on

a cutting machine), see “Exporting Data as FCM File” on

page 7.

For details on transferring the data to the machine, see

“Sending Data to the Machine” on page 8.

Weeding Box Function

Weeding is the process of removing the unnecessary parts

around a cut pattern to leave the desired parts on the backing

paper or backing film.

By using the Weeding Box function, a box (weeding box) can

be cut around the pattern, making it easier to peel off

unnecessary parts.

For this example, we will use patterns included with the

application.

aWeeding box

The following shows the difference between weeding with and

without a weeding box.

●Without a weeding box

When peeling off large

unnecessary parts, they stick to

each other or to the desired parts,

making weeding difficult.

●With a weeding box

Cutting a weeding box breaks up

unnecessary parts into smaller

parts, making weeding easier.

aClick (Edit) on the right side of the screen.

The [Edit] Panel appears in the Control Panel.

bSelect the pattern, and then click [Weeding Box...].

The [Create Weeding Box] dialog box appears.

cSelect how to specify the size of the weeding box.

■Optimize the Weeding Lines

Memo

• If no weeding lines are to be added between multiple

patterns grouped to form a single pattern, select the “No

Weeding Lines in Grouped Objects” check box.

■[Specify the Spacing from the Selected

Object]

Specify the values, and then click [OK].

■[Specify the Rectangle Size]

Specify the values, and then click [OK].

dRepeat steps band cfor each object that will be cut

with a weeding box.

The weeding box is created.

aWeeding box

Memo

• The data for a created weeding box is saved on a layer

separate from that for the pattern data.

Exporting Data as FCM File

Save data as an FCM file on a computer or USB flash drive, and

then use a USB flash drive to transfer the data to the cutting

machine.

For details on transferring data directly from

CanvasWorkspace to a cutting machine, see “Sending Data

to the Machine” on page 8.

■Saving to a USB Flash Drive

aPlug the USB flash drive into a USB port on the computer.

bIn CanvasWorkspace, select [Export/Transfer FCM File]

from the [File] menu.

Note

• In order to export data for a roll feeder, [Rolled Material]

must have been selected under [Artboard Size] when the

data was edited. Before exporting the data, recheck this

setting. For details, see “Creating Data” on page 4.

cSelect [Export FCM File].

dSelect [USB Drive (*)] as the destination, and then click

[Save].

* This designation differs depending on the operating system

being used.

The data is saved as an FCM file on the USB flash drive.

Sending Data to the Machine

Data opened in CanvasWorkspace can be transferred to a

cutting machine as an FCM file (which can be retrieved on the

cutting machine).

Note

• In order to transfer data for a roll feeder, [Rolled Material]

must have been selected under [Artboard Size] when the

data was edited. Before transferring the data, recheck this

setting. For details, see “Creating Data” on page 4.

■Transferring Using a USB Cable (compatible

only with Windows)

aInsert the USB cable connectors into the corresponding

USB ports on the computer and on the cutting machine.

●The machine must be connected to the wireless network. This

function can be used only after a connection to

CanvasWorkspace has been established. For details on

establishing a connection, refer to the Operation Manual for the

cutting machine.
