Change the cut path?

[Breed445 0]

I am not sure if that is what I am trying to do but here we go, I am working on making a sign and I have it all designed. I want the top portion of the graphic to cut out but the bottom to just be a square cut out. Is this possible?

The cutter will cut any vector line you have on your graphic, so if you want just the bottom to be a square cut out, the vector graphic you send to your cutter should only have a square. Meaning, if there's a design in the square, then make yourself a copy of your graphic (just in case), and then alter the copy by deleting any and all lines you do not want cut.

Hopefully you got it figured out. It is also often helpful to look at your design in "wire frame" mode. All vector design programs have this view option.  What you see in wire frame is what your cutter see's. The colors you choose to fill different objects lets your cutting software determine and separate out multiple color projects and send just the specific group to the cutter. (All the red, all the green etc...) Your cutter just follows along the paths that are sent. 

Good luck and if you still have issues post a screen shot of what you go going on. (no copyright protected items please) It's easier to help if we can see the problem.
