Create a Starburst Design with CutArt | |
|---|---|
The Mirror function will create a Mirror copy of the selected object along the selected axis in Trace and Designer and mirror the image horizontally in Visualize. 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. See: Add CutArt Function |  |
Design Template in FrameShop | |
|---|---|
Templates are specialized parametric shape generators created by Wizard. Many of the templates have additional Properties that can be edited which can change the shape, curves and corners of the design as well as a wide assortment of Parameters. The Template Library displays the different templates that are available for use. See: Template Properties See: Template Library |  |
The Parameters are set of specified variable characteristics related to the selected object that can be modified through the accompanying fields in Designer. For example, the Chamfer is the symmetrical angled surface at the corner of the Template. In Designer, the Template Parameter Map displays a diagram describing each parameter field for the current Template. |  |

Draw Alignment Lines | |
|---|---|
The Line tool in Trace will draw a Two-Point Line. The Line is defined by two points: Initial Position (called an Anchor) and the Terminating Position (called an Anchor). After it is drawn, a third point in the Center will be displayed, which can be moved to alter the line into an Arc. See: Line Tool Function The Mirror function will create a Mirror copy of the selected object along the selected axis in Trace and Designer and mirror the image horizontally in Visualize. |  |

Break all Intersections | |
|---|---|
The Break Tool tool is used to Bisect the Selected Segments at the point where they Intersect in the Trace software. The Break All Intersections function bisects ALL Segments in the design where they intersect in the Trace software. The Line tool in Trace will draw a Two-Point Line. The Line is defined by two points: Initial Position (called an Anchor) and the Terminating Position (called an Anchor). After it is drawn, a third point in the Center will be displayed, which can be moved to alter the line into an Arc. See: Line Tool Function The Arc tool allows you to draw a three-point mathematically defined arc in the Trace software. The Arc has three points: Initial Position (called an Anchor), Middle Point (called a Handle) which can be moved to change the shape of the Arc, and Terminating Position (called an Anchor). The Convert Arc to Splines process will convert the Arcs to Splines which are easier to tangify to make cuts smoother. See: Arc Tool in Trace See: Arc Tool Definition See: Splines Definition The Curve function allows you to draw a four-point mathematically defined Bezier/Spline Curve in the Trace software. The Bezier/Spline Curve is defined by four points: Initial Position (called an Anchor), Two Separate Middle Points (called Handles) which can be moved to alter the shape, and the Terminating Position (called an Anchor) The Convert Arc to Splines process will convert any Arcs to Splines/Curves which are easier to tangify to make cuts smoother.

Trace the Design | |
|---|---|
The Bevel Type refers to the angle at which the blade cuts the surface of the matboard when it deviates from the 90° right angle cut. Tracing the Design provides the Bevel Type and other necessary information to the Vector design in order to either Cut or apply with a Non-Blade Tool on the CMC. The Set Bevels Tab in Trace contains the tools needed to Trace the design. See: Tracing the Design 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 Rotation function in Trace is the action of rotating the selected object(s) around an axis or center by the specified number of degrees. See: Rotate in Trace Function. 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.
