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 into arcs.

Click on the top layer which is displayed topmost of the layer list.

Save the CutArt. You may get a message stating that this design contains objects that do not have an assigned bevel type. This refers to any leftover arcs and lines that we didn't trace. Click Yes that you wish to continue.

Load the CutArt.

Cut the CutArt.

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

The stained glass design is completed with a fancy opening and a fancy V-Groove around it.

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 stained glass design is completed as a two layer mat with fancy corners.

Save the CutArt, Load the CutArt, and Cut the CutArt.
