Template Opening with a Matching Outside Shape

This will walk you through designing a Template opening and using the same Template shape to create the Outside.

For this example, we will make a Polygon Opening with a Polygon Outside.

• This will work with most Template shapes.

Click New Mat Design on the FrameShop Main Page.

Click Cancel on the New Openings Screen.

On the Openings Tab, bring the template #506: Star template onto the Editor.

Click on the Properties Tab to edit it.

Enter the desired size for the #506: Star opening.

Click on the Parameters tab.

Under No. of Points put the desired number of points for this Polygon design.

• 3 - Triangle

• 4 - Quadrilateral

• 5 - Pentagon

• 6 - Hexagon

• 7 - Heptagon

• 8 - Octagon

• 9 - Nonagon

• 10 - Decagon

• Etc…

For this example, we will use 7 points.

Under Spikiness, put 0.

Now there is no Spikiness and the lines are flat between the points.
