 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

Trace, Save, Cut

  • Save the CutArt. You will get a message stating that this design contains objects that do not have an assigned Bevel Type. This refers to the Alignment Lines that we didn't Trace. Click Yes that you wish to continue. 

  • The CutArt is saved.

  • Load the CutArt into the Design editor.

  • Cut the CutArt.

  • Since it is a Deboss design, you can also size it much smaller if desired without worrying about Overcuts and Backups

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

  • The Starburst design is completed.

 Bevel Type Definition

The Bevel Type refers to the angle at which the blade cuts the surface of the matboard when it deviates from the 90° right angle cut.

 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.

 Deboss Definition

The Deboss cartridge stylus presses onto the surface of the matboard to create a subtle design.

There are three Deboss stylus sizes: Wide, Medium, Thin.

In addition to Template Shapes, you can also Deboss CutArts, LetterMats and TTFs.

Comparison

You can see how much we changed the design when you compare it to what we started with. You can alter the design greatly by changing the number of sides of the template, selecting a different template, changing the CutArt placed, and even the number of degrees of rotation when you place it on the Editor.
