titleV-Groove Definition

The Normal Bevel Closed V-Groove involves two symmetrical cuts: one in the matboard and a corresponding cut in the fallout, both forming a mirrored arrangement. The matboard is sliced halfway through the thickness and the core is visible from the front.

First Cut: Cuts the Interior cut into the Fallout Clockwise.

Second Cut: Cuts the Exterior cut into the Matboard Counter-Clockwise.

Select V-Groove from the Current Bevel Type dropdown control to edit this configuration.

  • This also displays how to make an alternative design.

Design in FrameShop then Bring into Trace

  • First we need to make sure we are designing the layers in the correct order for these instructions.

  • On the FrameShop Main Page, click Admin and stay on the Defaults tab.

  • Under Layer Direction select Bottom Up if it is not already set to that.

  • Click Save and return to the Main Page.

    • You can change this back to the original setting later if desired.

  • Layer Direction: Bottom Up is the preferred direction.

    • When you Offset an object to create another layer, that new layer will be the Top layer.

  • Layer Direction: Top Down is not recommended.

    • When you Offset an object to create another layer, that new layer will be the Bottom layer, even though it is larger than the original object.

    Optional Design

    Info

    • You can achieve a completely different look by Tracing the same design differently.

    • Add a layer in the Layers section for each layer of matboard you want to trace. 

    • Trace the V-Groove layer as the Top Layer opening.

    • Trace the original opening layer as the Bottom Layer.

    • Now the optional Fancy Corners design is completed as a two layer mat with fancy corners.

    • Save the CutArt.

    • Load the CutArt.

    • Cut the CutArt.

    Info

    • Optionally, you can also bring the CutArt straight to the Cut Preview from Trace.

    Trace the Design

    Info

    • We didn't make any changes to the CutArt itself that would require us to retangify the Arcs (such as moving a point), so there is no need to Tangify it or Convert Arcs to Splines.

    Info

    • The Outer object is Traced as a V-Groove.

    titleV-Groove Definition

    The Normal Bevel Closed V-Groove involves two symmetrical cuts: one in the matboard and a corresponding cut in the fallout, both forming a mirrored arrangement. The matboard is sliced halfway through the thickness and the core is visible from the front.

    First Cut: Cuts the Interior cut into the Fallout Clockwise.

    Second Cut: Cuts the Exterior cut into the Matboard Counter-Clockwise.

    Select V-Groove from the Current Bevel Type dropdown control to edit this configuration.
