| CutArt™ are simple shapes and design elements created by Wizard that can be added to designs. CutArts can be applied to your current design and edited, such as resizing and rotating. They can be Cut, Debossed, Penned or cut on Vinyl.  See: Add CutArt Function |

The Mirror function will Draw Alignment Lines |

| Info |
|---|
We will add some Alignment Lines that we will use to Mirror the circle. You can Mirror the circle without the Alignment Lines, but adding them will help illustrate the process.

| The Line tool in Trace will draw a Two-Point Line. The Line is defined by two points: Initial Position (called an Anchor) and the Terminating Position (called an Anchor). After it is drawn, a third point in the Center will be displayed, which can be moved to alter the line into an Arc. See: Line Tool Function |

Do the same with the other sides of the polygon, Right-Clicking and Snapping to the Center Point then Snapping to the Center Point on the opposite point. Make sure that the Circle crosses over the Lines a little in order to have the Mirrored version of the Circle overlap. If it doesn't, either make the Circle larger or Offset it to make it larger.

Mirror the Circle |

Offset Rules:Enclosed Objects: Arcs and Curves greater than 180 Degrees use the same rules as closed objects. Unenclosed Objects: For unenclosed objects the arrow buttons depend on the direction of travel of the vector segments, starting from the line’s start point. The Left < button offsets Clockwise and Right > button offsets Counter-Clockwise. If it doesn’t Offset in the expected direction, click Undo and click the other Offset Direction.

| Tracing the Design provides the Bevel Type and other necessary information to the Vector design in order to either Cut or apply with a Non-Blade Tool on the CMC. The Set Bevels Tab in Trace contains the tools needed to Trace the design. See: Tracing the Design |

| title | Bevel Type Definition |
|---|
| The Bevel Type refers to the angle at which the blade cuts the surface of the matboard when it deviates from the 90° right angle cut. |

Enclosed Objects:
Positive value Offsets to the Inside.
Negative value Offsets to the Outside.
Arcs and Curves Greater than 180 Degrees use the same rules as for closed objects.
For Lines, imagine a line's start point to be the center of a circle. The Plus offsets Clockwise and Minus offsets Counter-Clockwise. | Image Added |
