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 and Arcs 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.

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.
