Griffin desktop and Tilling

[Robbie]

We have a lot off strange chapes that we need to tille and print on a roll.. There is a lot off free sace in teh design that we can cut away.
Now i=m tringing to use the tilling option in griffin but can not figure out how we can till different part off the design and how the overlap is working. We need 5 mm of image overlap to the right side off the tille and 30 mm of white(without an image) to the leftside off the tille. But i see is that both off the options go to the same side.

How can we change that to 5mm overlap to the right and 30mm free (no image) to the left and is it possible to get rid off all the (white) space that we dont have to print.

Correct me if I'm wrong - but I don't think you can tile a shape cut job. The cut path of the tile takes precedence over the cut path in the file.
We use Phoenix (I think Griffin's tiling engine is similar) and I haven't been able to get it to work without using a work-a-round.

I essentially create multiple cut paths for each tile and break them up manually as seperate pages. So now Griffin wouldn't be tiling the job - just nesting the seperated pages. It'll see the cut path and nest as intended. It's a pain, but it works.

Im trying to till the page like the exemple but Griffin is doing somthing that is not correct (for us). We are using cardera rip. and if we are tilling there we can get 5mm of overlap en 30mm extra white (extending the page) on the other tille. so if we put the vinyl back to gether it fits perfectly. Now i to try this in griffin but there he takes away the 30mm off image (without extending the page) so teh iamge does not fit anymore.

I was hoping to do it in griffin so i can also use the extra tru-cut in the file to take away the extra white that we dont need. but after tilling the page griffin freezes when i want to define the tru-cutt
