Curved Sides Design

These instructions will show you how to make a Curved Sides design by editing it in Trace.

• These curves can sweep either Inwards or Outwards.

• These instructions will work with most of the templates.

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.

• We are going to make our Curves .25” so this may reduce our initial size by .25” as noted below.

  • To make the Curve Inwards, the Bottom Layer is the correct size for the Opening.

  • To make the Curve Outwards, the Bottom layer is smaller than the opening size by the Reveal Width.

• These instructions will show making the Curve Inwards.

Adjust the Reveal to be the distance the curves will be made; we chose .25.

Right-Click on the opening and select Convert to CutArt.
