Save Design

Save Design

  • With the desired project on the screen, click File > Save to save the design.

  • It will initially default to a CutArt file but if the file type is changed, it will use that file type until another is selected.

CutArtâ„¢ 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.

Path

A Path (.wpx) is a drawn Vector graphic path in Trace which is defined by a Start and End point, which may contain other Points, Curves, and Angles.

The Paths are independent of resolution, which means they can be resized without losing detail.

The Path file format in Trace will save all of the Vector elements of the design as you work, whether it is Traced or not. 

When the design is completed, save it as a CutArt to load into Designer.

Ornament

Ornaments are decorative design elements that can be applied to any Side or Layer of the #112 Ornamental Template in Designer.

The #112 Ornamental Template is similar to the #106 Mixed, with many extra features.
