  • Save the CutArt. You will get a message stating that this design contains objects that do not have an assigned Bevel Type. This refers to the Alignment Lines that we didn't Trace. Click Yes that you wish to continue. 

  • The CutArt is saved.

  • Load the CutArt into the Design editor.

  • Cut the CutArt.

Info

  • Since it is a Deboss design, you can also size it much smaller if desired without worrying about Overcuts and Backups

Comparison

You can see how much we changed the design when you compare it to what we started with. You can alter the design greatly by changing the number of sides of the template, selecting a different template, changing the CutArt placed, and even the number of degrees of rotation when you place it on the Editor.
