    • Click Yes that you wish to continue. 

  • The CutArt is saved.

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.
