Maybe Im not describing it correctly, The wording has been drawn in Illustrator and saved on a thumbdrive, imported on the sign program
The "border" is what you call in your example as workspace map. The "tile" is the lettering, if you go to cutter, and select cut, a window
pops up and shows the "tile" size which is the space around the lettering. When I select CUT it cuts the border or work space mat.
But not to the size I put in, in the work space edit, I select the work space as 6.5x18 inches.
However, it will only cut the "tile" size.
This is the first time Ive had this problem, all previous work I can still access and it cuts the border to the specs I select.
