Default Cad Cut Layers

I recently bought a GX 24 and really like it. I'm now trying to learn how to do more than one layer. Does anyone know of any tutorial links that are available?

Thank you

I recently purchased the Roland Gx-24 as well. This is a good question and I would like to know myself.

I just finished a 2 color layer and didnt even think of making a video......I need to pay more attention lol

This was a 2 color fit one color inside the other color.
I have the GX24 as well, and I used the Eco film from imprintables (I LOVE this stuff!!)

The mylar backing is clear so you can see where you are placing the next layer. This particular job turned out awesome. You cant really see it in the photo, but in person, the graphics gave an almost 3D look to them. I was very pleased, and the customers was thrilled!

Just out of curiosity, was the white outside the K's between KI and KR weeding error, or design? I assume design, since both K's have it, but seems kinda strange

nope, its the way the original file was given to us. Its the way he wanted it.

It is the eighttrack font, and you might notice too that the "G" is uppercase, and should be lower case.

I just got my little craft robo three days ago which came with only a very little sample medium and after waiting an excruciating two more days I finally received some more vinyl to play with. I just had to test a three color layer on a logo. Turned out so good I'm going to use it for the marketing packet I was going to take to this business...

Fun, just too much fun...I LOVE working with vinyl...

I just googled tutorials for my software and came up with some very useful resources. I just used free inkscape and the robomaster software that came with my cutter.
