Your lines should be set at 0.25pt thickness. "Gravur" (red) is the first stage - this will not create actual cuts but will only create patterns or engraving. "Schnitt I" (navy blue) is the first cut the machine will make. "Schnitt II" (baby blue) is the 2nd cut the machine will make. Keep this order in mind as your design your layout because you cannot make cuts on areas that have already been cut out by the first cut. An example of what to cut with the "Schnitt I" would be cutting out things like small holes or squares in the design, "Schnitt II" would then cut out the object that has the holes inside of it. | Your lines should be set at 0.25pt thickness.
