I want to make a cutter that has imprints that are half the depth of the cutter walls - can I add those to the main cutter or do I need to make a separate cutter? ---

If you select imprint cutter, then it will be an all-in-one cutter + imprint. The imprint depth measures how far down from the cutting edge the imprint will be, so 0 means it is flush with the cutting edge. You would want to set it based on the thickness that you measure your dough. ---

Thank you! I had a hard time finding where I select imprint cutter - I was using the instructions and UI has changed… I got it and am very impressed with how easy this software is to use!!! ---

Is is possible to get rid of the outer ridge that is created by the insert? I tried delete inner edge but it deletes part of my design.

I lose my imprint depth as soon as I select ‘Edges Only’. Is there a way around this?
