There are nine simple rectangles for the Cards in this design.

Select one of the Cards and click on Properties. If you want to make the change to all of the Cards, select each card by holding down the CTRL Key and clicking on each Card opening.

From here, you can do the following edits:

• Select a different Template, such as an Octagon

• Change the dimensions

• Move the position of the Cards by entering new X/Y Coordinates (or simply drag the openings where desired).

• Change the number of Layers

• Change the Reveal

• Change the Cartridge it will be cut with

• Cut it as a Reverse Bevel

• If you had changed the Template, you can click on the Parameters Tab and edit the specific Parameters available for this Template.

As you make these adjustments you will see the changes appear immediately on the screen.

If you decide that you would like the Nameplate to be a different size, the Open V-Groove will need to be edited.

First, resize the Nameplate and place it into the desired position and save the design.

Select the Nameplate and the Open V-Groove.

Right-Click and select Convert to CutArt.

This will bring the Nameplate and the Open V-Groove into Trace.

Click on the outer Nameplate line.

In the Offset field, enter the amount of space you want to place between the Nameplate and the V-Groove. We put 1.5”.

Make sure the Offset direction is set to - (minus) and click the Offset button.

The outer Nameplate line will offset outward 1.5”.

Select the new offset rectangle and the Open V-Groove.

Click on the Break button, which will break the lines where they intersect.

Click on the unneeded lines and click the Delete button to remove them. Make sure to leave the new lines that connect the Open V-Groove together.

Also delete the Nameplate, as we only want the new Open V-Groove to be on the screen.

Click Edit > Auto Join Segments.

This will connect the lines making up the Open V-Groove and making it a single object.

Click the Set Bevels Tab.

Click on the Open V-Groove to select it.

Click the Set button next to the desired bevel type.

Here we are tracing it as a 45° opening.

The Open V-Groove changes to the color of the bevel/cartridge type selected.

Click the Save button and save the Open V-Groove. Take care to give it a different filename than the original Open V-Groove and take note of where you save it.
