To create a multi-layered oval inset mat, start the design in MatDesignerFrameShop. Design a large oval with two layers. Bring in two small ovals with four layer each and overlap them slightly as shown. a. Width of the inner reveal is how much of the inner mat shows. b. Width of the middle reveal is the width of the bridge between the two objects. c. Outer reveal is the inner mat of the bridge on the large object side. |  | It may help to print out the design and highlight which lines will connect for which objects (use different colored pens if desired). With the ovals on the screen, click File > Print Mat Dimensions in MatDesigner. Save the design as a Path. |  |
Open the path in PathTrace. |  | ||
