SCAL4 Regular: Creating your own custom ScanNCut Mat

When you start a new project in SCAL the mat size is a full 12x12 inch sized mat.  Unfortunately the true area available to us on the Scan N cut mat is not quite 12 x 12.  The true size (as stated in the machine itself) is 11.65 x 11.75 inches.  

The following shows how to create your own custom sized mat in SCAL to ensure that when you bring your designs to the SNC the design fits within the available space and does not create an error leading to rework of your design.
