Creating a V-Groove/Deboss/Pen that Follows a Template ShapeThis lesson shows how to create a V-Groove, Deboss or Pen object to follow closely around a template shape. | |
|---|---|
If you want to add a V-Groove, Deboss or Pen object and have it follow closely around a multi-layer template shape, the results aren't always as expected, as displayed here. This is because the V-Groove/Deboss/Pen is placed using the default parameters which mirror that of the bottom layer, rather than being an offset from the top mat that we're trying to flow around. |  |
You could spend quite some time trying to adjust the V-Groove, Deboss, or Pen parameters trying to get it to line up properly, but there is the instructions below show an easier way. |  |
Design in FrameShop, Bring into Trace | |
|---|---|
Place a three layer 4 x 5 #314 Camelback Flare template into the FrameShop Design Editor. Click on the Properties tab. Make the middle layer Reveal value .5” (1/2"), and the bottom layer Reveal value .25” (1/4"). The middle layer reveal is the distance from the template to place the V-Groove/Deboss/Pen object. Bring into Trace via the Right-Click Menu or from the Cut Preview Screen. |  |
