The Jersey packages contain a great number of different designs,

most of which contain standard a Jersey CutArt, sometimes an Open V-Groove, and a selection of

template openings which allow you the freedom to change their

size, shape or position.

These designs can be easily cut as-is, but can be personalize as

desired.

Lets use one of the Jersey Cards design for an example. I loaded

Jersey Design 1 Cards-1.

This design contains a Jersey CutArt, and Open V-Groove CutArt,

nine Card rectangles, and one Nameplate rectangle.

If the Jersey design is

displayed side-ways, here

is how to Rotate it so that it is viewed right-side-up. You can rotate it

sideways on the Cut Preview in order to cut it.

Select all of the objects by clicking CTRL + A.

Click the Group Button.

The openings are now

grouped together and treated

as a single opening.

Click the Advanced Tab.

Click the -90 Rotation button. The design rotate 90° Counter-

Clockwise.

Click the Dynamic Outsides button to reset the outside dimensions.

Click the Merge button to ungroup the design and click on the

background to unselect the openings. The design is now rotated.

There are nine simple rectangles for the Cards in this design.

Select one of the Cards and click on Properties. If you want to make

the change to all of the Cards, select each card by holding down the

CTRL Key and clicking on each Card opening.

From here, you can do the following edits:

• Select a different Template, such as an Octagon

• Change the dimensions

• Move the position of the Cards by entering new X/Y

• Coordinates (or simply drag the openings where desired).

• Change the number of Layers

• Change the Reveal

• Change the Cartridge it will be cut with

• Cut it as a Reverse Bevel

• If you had changed the Template, you can click on the Parameters Tab and edit the specific Parameters

• available for this Template.

As you make these adjustments you will see the changes appear immediately on the screen.

If you decide that you would like the Nameplate to be a different

size, the Open V-Groove will need to be edited.

First, resize the Nameplate and place it into the desired position and

save the design.

Select the Nameplate and the Open V-Groove.

Right-Click and select Convert to CutArt.

This will bring the Nameplate and the Open V-Groove into Trace.

Click on the outer Nameplate line.

In the Offset field, enter the amount of space you want to place

between the Nameplate and the V-Groove. We put 1.5”.

Make sure the Offset direction is set to - (minus) and click the Offset

button.

The outer Nameplate line will offset outward 1.5”.

Select the new offset rectangle and the Open V-Groove.

Click on the Break button, which will break the lines where they

intersect.

Click on the unneeded lines and click the Delete button to remove

them. Make sure to leave the new lines that connect the Open

V-Groove together.

Also delete the Nameplate, as we only want the new Open V-Groove

to be on the screen.

Click Edit > Auto Join Segments.

This will connect the lines making up the Open V-Groove and making it a single

object.

Click the Set Bevels Tab.

Click on the Open V-Groove to select it.

Click the Set button next to the desired bevel type.

Here we are tracing it as a 45° opening.

The Open V-Groove changes to the color of the bevel/cartridge type

selected.

Click the Save button and save the Open V-Groove. Take care to

give it a different filename than the original Open V-Groove and take

note of where you save it.

Close Trace and return to the original Jersey design.

Delete the original Open V-Groove.

Load the new Open V-Groove file and place it on the design.

You can also use these same steps to make changes to the Jersey

CutArt as well, making it longer, shorter, adjust the shoulders, etc.
