Step-by-Step Guide to Edge Cutting Software Operation

Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Duplicate the Base Layout
After importing the image, click "Copy Layout" in the toolbar. The software will automatically populate the entire canvas with copies of the image based on the pre-set spacing intervals.

2. Generate the Primary Cutting Mesh
Select the entire populated canvas. Click "Create Cutting" in the toolbar, then enter the corresponding number of rows and columns to create the precise cutting grid over your layout.

3. Assign Grids to Individual Blades
Designate the two resulting grids as the cutting paths for Blade 1 and Blade 2. To utilize this setup for both full cuts and partial (kiss) cuts, physically adjust the two blades on the cutting machine to have different extension lengths.

4. Differentiate Paths Visually
Change the color of the cutting grid assigned to Blade 2 to a different color (e.g., from red to cyan). This provides clear visual management of the two cutting paths.

5. Optimize the Cutting Paths
Manually review and delete any duplicate lines within or between the two grids according to your desired final cutting effect, ensuring clean and efficient toolpaths.

6. Align the Cutting Grids
Precisely realign the positions of the two colored grids to ensure they correspond correctly to the printed image or design layers.

7. Add and Position Registration Markers
Select all elements and add alignment markers. Adjust the position and size of these markers as required for the cutting device to read them accurately.

8. Configure the Cut Contour by Color
Click on the "Cut Contour" function in the toolbar, then select the "by color" assignment method. Assign the red-colored path to Blade 1 and the cyan-colored path to Blade 2.

9. Preview and Export
Preview the simulated cutting path effect to verify everything is correct. Finally, save the cut file in the required format and export the final image for production.
