KB176884522: i-cut Layout - Front to Back issue

Summary

When creating a layout that has a front and back, the image within the die on one side is not rotating or flopping correctly.

Symptoms

When the PDF of a front and back of a sign are viewed in Adobe^® Acrobat^®, they appear to be set up correctly.

When a layout is created in i-cut Layout, the artwork is correct but the cut lines are not.

Solution

This behavior is 'normal' in i-cut Layout. Recto/verso graphics need to be defined in such a way that the back is mirrored over a vertical axis. In this case, the graphic seems to be mirrored over the horizontal axis. This is not supported.

Workaround

1. In i-cut Layout, go to the Station view and rotate both the front and back of the artwork by 90 degrees.
2. Create new layouts.
