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.

Place a three layer 4 x 5 #906 Rectangle Key Template on the FrameShop Design Editor. 

Click on Properties.

Click on Parameters.

Change the Distance to 1.5".

Click on the Key tab.  

Change the second layer's Key Reveal to .5” (1/2").

• This Reveal will be the distance from the Nameplate to the V-Groove.

Click on the Openings tab.

With the opening still selected, click the Add V-Groovebutton.

Enter 1.25" for the Distance to Offset V-Groove field.

Click OK.

The V-Groove is placed.

Click on the V-Groove to resize it.

Pull down the Bottom of the V-Groove and drag it down to the middle of the Key opening. 

• Make sure you are pulling the V-Groove down and not just moving the V-Groove.

Release the mouse to place it.

Stay on the Trace and Draw tab.

Hold down the CTRL key and click on the V-Groove and the Outside Line of the Nameplate.

Click the Break button.

The intersections are now Broken where the Lines crossed over each other.

Click the Set Bevels tab. 

Select the Top Layer which is displayed at the Top of the Layer List.

We no longer need this layer as we had deleted the opening from this layer.

We will be tracing the Free-floating V-Groove onto the next layer, which will now be the top layer.

Click the Remove button to delete this unneeded layer.

Any information on this layer will be moved to the next layer.

Remain on the new Top Layer.

Click on the new V-Groove object to select it.

Click the 45° V-Groove Set button.

The V-Groove is Traced.
