Using Contour Cut
Contour Cut
Contour Cut is a feature that
creates a cutting line around
objects, either vector or
bitmaps.
This allows you to output an
image in a printer and then
cut its contours using a
cutting plotter. If you have a
hybrid device (printer with
cutting capabilities), you can
print and cut using the same
machine.
To allow the Contour Cut effect to trace the outline of objects in a bitmap,
make the background of the image transparent using the Make Transparent
function. Otherwise, the effect will only be able to trace around the outside
of the bitmap. See “Contour Cutting” on page 155 for more information.
Creating a Contour Cut around Objects
1 Select the objects.
2 From the Effects menu, select Contour Cut.
3 In DesignCentral, adjust the parameters or drag the Control
Point on Contour Cut line.
4 Click Apply.
Adjusting Contour Cut Using DesignCentral
The following attributes from Contour Cut can be adjusted in
DesignCentral:
Select the type between Contour, Rectangle and Ellipse.
Proportional
With Holes
Contour mode
Rectangle mode Ellipse mode
Offset distance from object to cutting line. The value can be
negative, allowing you to make a contour cut line inside the
design, in order to prevent misalignments in printing and
cutting process. This field is only available for Contour mode.
Width of the contour shape (Ellipse or Rectangle).
Height of the contour shape (Ellipse or Rectangle).
Check this value to assure that the cutting line will be resized
proportionally when you change its height or width. This
option is not available for Contour mode.
When this option is checked, all holes in the selected objects
will have an inner contour cut line. This option is not available
for Ellipse or Rectangle mode.
Contour with Holes
Contour Without Holes
