Determining the Degrees of Rotation

There are several way to determine the degrees of Rotation for an object.

 Rotation Definition

The Rotation function in Trace is the action of rotating the selected object(s) around an axis or center by the specified number of degrees.

See: Rotate in Trace Function

Guesstimate the Rotation in Trace

  • Select the desired objects to Rotate.

  • Click the Edit radio button on the Trace and Draw Tab.

  • On the Rotate degrees field, enter a guesstimate value for the degrees of Rotation.

  • Click the Rotate button.

  • The CutArt will rotate.

  • Adjust the Rotation value accordingly until the desired outcome is achieved.

 CutArt Definition

CutArt™ are simple shapes and design elements created by Wizard that can be added to designs.

CutArts can be applied to your current design and edited, such as resizing and rotating.

They can be Cut, Debossed, Penned or cut on Vinyl.

See: Add CutArt Function

Rotating the CutArt in the Design Editor

  • The following processes might be the easiest way to determine the Rotation because you can manually drag the Rotation Control Point or Rotation Slider Bar in order to Rotate the object. It does require that you first Save and Bring the CutArt into the Design Editor.

  • After Rotating it, you have the option of saving it as a new CutArt or returning to Trace and entering the Rotation value you determined in Design.

 Traced Definition

Tracing the Design provides the Bevel Type and other necessary information to the Vector design in order to either Cut or apply with a Non-Blade Tool on the CMC.

The Set Bevels Tab in Trace contains the tools needed to Trace the design.

See: Tracing the Design

Manual Rotation in the Design Editor

  • Load the desired CutArt into the FrameShop Design Editor.

  • Click to select the CutArt.

  • Click on the Properties tab.

  • Click on the Rotation Control Point located on the Right Side of the object.

  • Hold and drag the Control Point Up or Down with the mouse to Rotate the object.

  • The number of Degrees is displayed in a mini pop-up screen next to the Rotation Control Point.

  • Release the mouse when the object is Rotated to the desired position.

  • The number of Degrees that the currently selected object is Rotated is displayed on the Rotation field on the Properties Tab and on the Advanced Tab.

  • After Rotating it, you can either Save the Project, or Save the Rotated CutArt as a new CutArt (instructions listed below).

  • For other hints on Rotating in the Design Editor, see Design Rotation.

Save the Project

  • With the newly rotated CutArt on the screen, Save the Design project.

  • The Design project will be saved with the CutArt Rotated at the value entered; this does not change the original CutArt file.

Save as a New CutArt

  • With the newly rotated CutArt selected, Right-Click on it and select Convert to CutArt.

  • The newly Rotated CutArt will be brought into the Trace program.

  • Within Trace, Save the Rotated CutArt under a new name.

  • The Rotated CutArt is now saved.
