Outlines, or can I just select the body of the letters first and cut them, and Need to create 2 separate files, 1 for the body of the letters and 1 for the The outlines separately because there are 2 different colors involved. What command do I use to beĪble to see that 2-color double-line image?Īlso, as I mentioned above I'll be cutting the letters and The amount of overlap as can be seen in that image. The one on the left is the one I'll want. Jack, looking at the images that you placed into your post, How do I do the so that the outline (the bottom image) goes around the Outline, and a smaller version to serve as the body of the letter as you Lettering with one, the bottom one, being larger since it will serve as the Let's say for a moment that I do cut 2 versions of the I do not have a large format digital printer, only a cutter that cuts solid-color sheet vinyl. So I'll be cutting the body of the letter and its outline Vinyl from the cutter and replace it with a different color roll and then cut One thing I want to point out is that I'm going to cut theīody of the letter using one color of vinyl, and then I'll remove that roll of The letters while leaving the weight of the outline alone. Going to have to use the contour command to increase the weight of the body of The body of the letter to slip under the outline a bit. Only butted up against the outline and that's not going to work because I want Outline perfectly! The body of each of the letters inside the outline, however, I did the arrange > convert outline to object. Letter, but that doesn't matter because signs are meant to be viewed from aĭistance and so nobody is going to see it. Harry, yes, the outline will straddle the body of the Ok, I tried the techniques that both of you suggested. If that's what you need, then you would do the larger version as an outside contour instead of an and Jack: I'm not a sign cutter, but I'm wondering whether the ridge in the centre of the outline will show? In which case, you may actually need to create two versions of the lettering, both of them solid but one of them larger than the other. in doing so, some of your work will have one layer of vinyl and some will have two. Your outline will straddle the edges your solid (half inside, half outside) - which seems good because it will ensure no white space shows through if there's any minor misalignment between the solid and the outline, which would probably happen if you tried to cut the to the exact size of the inner side of the outline.īut. You should then be able to cut along both sides of the outline.Ī question though. What I think you may want is arrange > convert outline to object. If you use it to cut, you will still cut along the centre of the outline. Yes, converting the text to curves only means its outline becomes a path, but it is still only a centre line with the same pen thickness. It did not make aĭouble-line cut as it would have to do to make the image an outline. The image to the cutter but it cut it as a solid letter.
NOTHING TO CUT IN VINYLMASTER CUT SOFTWARE SOFTWARE
Image into the WinPlot software that my Summa D75R vinyl cutter uses. I then did a "Convert to Curves" on the outline and imported the I deleted the body of the letter leaving only the outline.
Letters from one file and the outlines from a different file.Īs an experiment I created a single word with a color. I know that I will have to separate the two elements and cut the Themselves, that is, the main body of the letters, I can cut with no problem. I want to be able to cut vinyl letters from my Summa D75R vinyl cutter and then to cut a differentĬolored outline to be applied over the top of those letters.
