See Trace Lesson Eleven: Starburst for the First Half of This Lesson.

To Rotate the Starburst in Trace:

*See Determining the Degree of Rotation for information on how to determine the optimum degree of rotation for your particular CutArt.

 Rotate Definition

The Rotation function in Designer is the action of rotating the selected object(s) around an axis or center by the specified number of degrees.

  • Click the Rotate button.

  • The CutArt will Rotate.

 Rotate Definition

The Rotation function in Designer is the action of rotating the selected object(s) around an axis or center by the specified number of degrees.

 CutArt Definition

CutArt™ are simple shapes and design elements created by Wizard.

CutArts can be applied to your current design and resized and rotated. They can be Cut, Debossed, Penned or cut on Vinyl.

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 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.

 Bevel Type Definition

The Bevel Type is the Angle that the blade cuts on the Matboard/Fallout surface when it is not cut at a 90° Right Angle.

 Traced Definition

Tracing the Design provides the Bevel Type and other necessary information to the Vector design in order to either Cut or apply a Non-Blade Tool on the CMC.

The Set Bevels Tab in Trace contains the tools needed to Trace the design.

 CutArt Definition

CutArt™ are simple shapes and design elements created by Wizard.

CutArts can be applied to your current design and resized and rotated. They can be Cut, Debossed, Penned or cut on Vinyl.

 Deboss Definition

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 Templates, you can also Deboss CutArts, LetterMats and TTFs.

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.
