Lesson Six: CutArt on a Different Layer
Place CutArt on a Different Layer | |
---|---|
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. A CutArt Example See: Add CutArt Function The LetterMat™ fonts are specialized fonts designed specifically for the Wizard FrameShop software. Single Line Fonts: The letters are formed with Single Lines, not drawn as the outlines of shapes. Single line fonts can only be Debossed or drawn with the Pen. Outline Fonts: The Outline fonts display the shapes of the letters as outlines with only a slight distinction between the thin and thick strokes. These fonts can be Debossed, Penned or Cut. LetterMat Example See: Add Font Function See: LetterMat Properties The True Type Font (TTF) is an additional source of fonts, separate from LetterMats, that can be loaded into Designer to Cut, Deboss, or Pen. The True Type Font (TTF) format was created to work between both Apple (Mac) and Microsoft (Windows) and could be deciphered by most printers by default. The TTFs contain the mathematical outlines of each character in the font. The True Type Fonts are located in the /Windows/Fonts directory. Note: TTFs have not been tested by Wizard and results may vary. Feel free to experiment. See: Add Font Function See: TTF Properties 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. The Pen Cartridge is used to draw onto the surface of the matboard on the CMC to create a design. You can Pen Designs, CutArts, LetterMats and TTFs. |

You can see how much we changed the design when you compare it to the original version. You can also run through these same steps to place a LetterMat, TTF, Deboss, Pen or Crease item or other object onto a layer other than the top layer. | |
