Document

The Document panel allows you to change settings for the on screen virtual mat.

Mat Size: Choose from a list of common pre defined sizes, or choose Custom to enter your own size.
Orientation: Choose from Vertical (Portrait) or Horizontal (Landscape)

Below is an example where we have the Mat Size set to 12" x 24" with the Orientation set to Vertical (Portrait). Please note there is an arrow in the border of the mat indicating the top side.

Here is how the layout will be relative to the cutting machine.

Below is the same 12" x 24" mat but with the Orientation set to Horizontal (Landscape). Important to note that the mat size is still 12" x 24" and not 24" x 12". Even though visually on the screen it looks like it is 24" x 12", the actual mat is still 12" x 24" but just rotated to be shown as Landscape. You will see the arrow in the mat border on the left side now.

Here is how the layout will be relative to the cutting machine. This is cutting identical to the previous Vertical (Portrait) example. It is just the view is rotated to Landscape here.
