Place CutArt on a Different Layer

Info

  • CutArt are simple shapes and design elements that can be cut, drawn, or Debossed.

  • Traditionally, CutArts can only be placed on the top layer. This lesson shows how to retrace a CutArt onto a Different Layer other than the top layer. 

  • You can also use these same steps to place a LetterMat, TTF, Deboss, Pen or Crease object onto a different layer other than the Top Layer.

  • 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.
