Does anyone know how to do paper or cardstock scoring with the Wishblade? I would imagine the is must be some kind of blade setting that allows paper or cardstock to be scored but not cut all the way through. I would really appreciate any help with this.

In the old Wishblade software you set your line to a dashed line.

In Create and Cut you simply draw a series of small lines. its a simple matter of zooming in close then creating one small segment and copy and pasting it then using the Align and Distribute option. The distribute option sets them the exact width apart, that you enter in Design Central, so you always get a perfect dashed line.

I keep a file with all types of dashed lines that I created in Create and Cut and pull them up when I need them and do a quick copy paste.

Hey Sandy, that is actually a perforation not a score. I think what "nan" is asking is for a line to be placed on the paper for folding a card? I am looking for the same. I am not thinking there is a way unless there are special blades for that? Maybe using the blue cap and making the "force" option in the driver options a 1?

The best way would be to do exactly what you are saying put the force down and and use a blue cap. You can draw a single or a double line for the perf. You can also save your old worn blades for this - as long as they're not chipped and tearing.

Personally I just do my cuts on the Wishblade, for scores I love using the Createopia's score - its part of the Cutz module. http://www.xyron.com/enUS/Products/Creatopia/Cutz/Cutz_Cartridge_-_Card_Kit.html
