Orange Cut

From sign letters to a mounting frame

A dedicated workspace for letter mounting holes, tube frames, profile cutting plans and workshop sheets. Review the holes and frame on your own artwork before exporting to CorelDRAW or SVG / DXF.

Prepare the assembly

  1. Select artwork

    Import vector letters from CorelDRAW or SVG / DXF.

  2. Set up holes

    Set diameter, spacing and offsets, then review and adjust positions.

  3. Prepare the frame

    Configure the tube profile and review frame members alongside the letters.

  4. Export for production

    Send letters and frame to CorelDRAW or SVG / DXF and prepare the profile cutting plan.

Letter mounting holes

Add, move and remove holes in the preview. Send the prepared letters into nesting as a separate source.

Tube frames and cutting plans

Plan profile cuts using stock length, kerf, end trims and remnants. Review lengths and angles before cutting.

A4 workshop sheets

Prepare dimensions, numbered members, lengths and cut angles. The cutting list is also available as CSV.

Mounting holes in sign letters

Mounting holes follow the letter centerlines. Set the diameter, offset from letter ends and edge clearance, then review the numbered holes before sending the letters to nesting or CorelDRAW.

Frequently asked questions

Can I download this tab now?

Yes. The Frame & holes tab is available in the current Orange Cut release on the download page.

Does it change the original artwork?

Prepared letters enter nesting as a new source; original contours are preserved.

Does it verify structural strength?

No. This is geometry and cutting preparation. Profile selection, fixings and structural checks remain part of your production process.
