Automate bleed path resolution by creating all the bleed with overlaps as a special line type in the CAD program you use (for example, Esko Artios or Arden Impact). Both the PLA software and the Pandora software will use this line type to create the bleed. Note: You must have made similar adjustments to the Preferences settings of the Pandora software. For more details, see the Pandora User Guide.
Perform the following procedure to set up bleed path resolution based on CAD file line type. Repeat the procedure if the CAD file line type changes.

:PLA detected an error with bleed path generation. Possible
causes:
Some die stations are not closed (gaps between cutlines) “Honor bleed path in CAD file” was selected but no bleed
path line type was detected
Some bleed paths in the CAD file are not closed
Please, check all generated bleed paths carefully to make
sure they are correct.
