Proof-grade settings for non proof-grade material-SOS

[m.labelle33]

Hi everyone, I’ve been away for over a year dealing a health issue. Today, I logged into the interface for the first time only to see how it has changed drastically with many updates. I do not have access to affordable proof-grade material here in Canada so I use non proof-grade. In the past, I used a lot of the proof-grade settings bit I can’t seem to navigate how to access them anymore. Has this been removed or is it now only for premoium accounts? SOS help please! thanks

No. Access to Proofgrade settings are right where they have always been. Select any Proofgrade material from the drop down materials menu and select an item. The Proofgrade settings will auto populate as they did before.

A lot of times I have to search to find the proofgrade material I want to use the settings for - even when using proofgrade, because I typically put it in with the silly label facing down.

I typically put it in with the silly label facing down.

If you have a setting that will just cut through, it will not cut through the label and the wood. Better to have the label not cut through than the wood not cut through.
