Inset with Custom Shapes

There are several Inset Templates currently available:

• #911: Rectangle Inset

• #912: Oval Inset

• #913: Octagon Inset

• #914: Half Rnd Inset

• #915: Fr Stair Inset

These instructions will walk you through making your own custom inset design using the other templates available.

Click New Mat Design on the FrameShop Main Page.

Click Cancel on the New Openings Screen.

On the Openings Tab, bring the template #101: Rectangle template onto the Editor.

Click on the Properties Tab to edit it.

Enter the desired size for the #101: Rectangle opening.

Center the #101: Rectangle.

Bring over another opening using the desired Template for the Inset.

We will be using #613: Fr Stair Top.

Resize it to the desired Width of the Inset.

We will be overlaying the center of this opening with the bottom of the #101: Rectangle, so you will need to make the Height twice as large as desired.

Set the Positioning Toggle to align to the Bottom Layer.

Click on the #101: Rectangle to select it.

Right-Click on the #101: Rectangle and select New Horizontal Guide > Bottom.

This will place a Horizontal Guide on the Bottom of the #101: Rectangle.

Move the #613: Fr Stair Top so that it snaps to the middle Vertical Border Line and to the Horizontal Guide Line.

Now we will Merge the two openings together.

Select both openings and click the Group Selection button.

The openings will merge where they overlap.

The Custom Inset design is finished.
