Optional Design |

Move the design further into the screen if necessary in order to be able to see the Offset Layer. Select the Doily. Leave the Reveal value at .25". Click the Left < Offset Circuit button.

| 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. |

| In a two-layer design, the Reveal is the amount of the bottom matboard showing under the top mat in Designer and Visualize. The standard Reveal between the top and bottom mat is 1/4". See: Designer Reveal Function |

Break Intersections Arcs that want to Break the Intersections in the newly Offset object, rather than all of the Intersections in the design. Hold down the CTRL key and select all of the newly created Arcs.
Click the Break button to Break the objects where they intersect with each other.
The Arcs will break where they Intersect and appear Gray.

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.

The Arc tool allows you to draw athree-point mathematically defined arc in the Trace software.The Arc has three points: Initial Position (called an Anchor), Middle Point (called a Handle) which can be moved to change the shape of the Arc, and Terminating Position (called an Anchor).
The Convert Arc to Splines process will convert the Arcs to Splines which are easier to tangify to make cuts smoother.

Join Outside Segments |

We could repeat these same steps to add a third Layer using a 1/8" reveal by Offsetting the outside object by .125", Breaking the newly Offset object, then Rejoining the outside elements to create the top Layer. Depending upon the Template, the size, the Parameters, etc., you may not need to Breakthe elements before Joining them together if the Offset connects together neatly in the corners.

| Templatesare specialized parametric shape generators created by Wizard. Many of the templates have additional Properties that can be edited which can change the shape, curves and corners of the design as well as a wide assortment of Parameters. The Template Library displays the different templates that are available for use. See: Template Properties See: Template Library |

title | Parameters Definition |
---|
| The Parameters are set of specified variable characteristics related to the selected object that can be modified through the accompanying fields in Designer. For example, the Chamfer is the symmetrical angled surface at the corner of the Template. In Designer, the Template Parameter Map displays a diagram describing each parameter field for the current Template. |
