• CutArt are simple shapes and design elements that can be cut, drawn, or Debossed.

• Traditionally, CutArts cannot be placed on any layer except the top layer. This lesson shows how to retrace a CutArt onto a Different Layer other than the top layer. 

• You can also use these same steps to place a LetterMat, TTF, Deboss, Pen or Crease object onto a different layer other than the Top Layer.

CutArt™ are simple shapes and design elements created by Wizard.

CutArts can be applied to your current design and resized and rotated. They can be Cut, Debossed, Penned or cut on Vinyl.

The LetterMat™ fonts are specialized fonts designed specifically for the Wizard FrameShop software.

Single Line Fonts

The letters are formed with Single Lines, not drawn as the outlines of shapes. Single line fonts can only be Debossed or drawn with the Pen.

Outline Fonts

The Outline fonts display the shapes of the letters as outlines with only a slight distinction between the thin and thick strokes. These fonts can be Deboss, Penned or Cut.

The True Type Font (TTF) is an additional source of fonts, separate from LetterMats, that can be loaded into Designer to Cut, Deboss, or Pen.

The True Type Font (TTF) format was created to work between both Apple (Mac) and Microsoft (Windows) and could be deciphered by most printers by default. The TTFs contain the mathematical outlines of each character in the font.

The True Type Fonts are located in the /Windows/Fonts directory.

Note: TTFs have not been tested by Wizard and results may vary. Feel free to experiment.

The Deboss cartridge stylus presses onto the surface of the matboard to create a subtle design.

There are three Deboss stylus sizes: Wide, Medium, Thin.

In addition to Templates, you can also Deboss CutArts, LetterMats and TTFs.

The Pen Cartridge is used to draw onto the surface of the matboard on the CMC to create a design.

In addition, you can also Pen Designs, CutArts, LetterMats and TTFs.

The CreaseCartridge is used to apply Crease marks that are used to assist in folding the thicker finished Box.

• Now we will place a Guide that we can use to align our V-Groove.

• The V-Groove will be converted into our new Top Layer in Trace.

A Guide is a visual line marker which helps direct the motion or positioning of objects.

The sides and centers of Objects can snap to the Guide Lines.

• Now we will place a V-Groove around the opening. This will eventually be our new Top Layer.

A Normal Bevel Closed V-Groove consists of two cuts - one in the Matboard and one in the Fallout, mirroring each other. They are cut Halfway through the matboard, revealing the Matboard Core.

The Normal Bevel is when the Angle of the blade cuts the Matboard/Fallout surface so it Slants Away from the surface of the Matboard/Fallout, and the Matboard Core is Seen from the front.

The Offset button creates a displacement copy of the selected object a parallel distance away as specified in the Offset Reveal field in Trace.

• We're going to add a Layer to the Design for our new Top Layer.

Tracing the Design provides the Bevel Type and other necessary information to the Vector design in order to either Cut or apply a Non-Blade Tool on the CMC.

The Set Bevels Tab in Trace contains the tools needed to Trace the design.

• We didn't make any changes to the CutArt itself, so there is no need to Tangify It or Convert into Arcs.
