My shapes are not completely cutting out. They are still attached to the waste part of the material.

 Make sure you have turned the Blade Offset back to the appropriate value for the blade you are using. If
the Offset is at 0, then your closed paths will not quite close when cutting with a blade.
____________________

My cardstock is not cutting all the way through. I have the blade all the way out and using the maximum force.

 Please refer to Section 2.01. It’s important to only have as much blade exposed as is necessary to
penetrate the cardstock. You may also need to raise the blade tip height. Reduce your force back to
suggested values for the material you are cutting and do a test cut.

 Do not use more pressure than is needed. If the cardstock is cutting through about 90% of the cut, then
turn on Multi-cut. Some cardstocks do better with a second pass versus using a lot of force.
____________________

At the start of every cut, the blade will make a tiny cut on my material and then proceed to the first shape. Why
is it doing that and how do I prevent it?

 That tiny cut is to set the blade in the correct direction for the first cut. If it is making a cut into your
material and the material is not part of the waste, then there are a few methods you can use to prevent
that from happening. Refer to Section 2.06.

Software Issues

I cannot get the MTC Bridge to install on my Mac.

 The Mac O/S needs to be 10.5.8 or newer.
 You may need to change a setting which allows programs not download from the Apple Store to be
installed. Refer to this link: http://knkusa.com/resources/

Make The Cut will not accept the registration number on the CD that came with my KNK.

 The Activation Pin is the number on the CD envelope. This number needs to be used for registering
your copy of the software at the web site shown in Section 1.09. Once you register, you will be given a
Registration Number to then use in MTC.
____________________

I have a new computer and I want to install Make The Cut. I cannot locate my registration number for MTC.

 Go to this link to have your registration number emailed to you at the email address you used when
registering your copy of MTC: http://www.make-the-cut.com/LostRegKey.aspx
 If the email address you used for registering is no longer valid, go to this link and submit a support ticket
to MTC: http://www.make-the-cut.com/Support/

I prefer to work in metric versus inches. How do I switch to metric?

 At this time, MTC will only display the rulers and location/sizing in inches. However, you can enter a
dimension in metric by typing the size and then followed by mm or cm. Refer to Section 3.13. To verify
the dimension of shapes in metric units, use the Measure Tool on the Node Edit toolbar. Refer to
Section 7.08.
