  • how do i get a cut contour on outlined graphic text?

    Posted by Keith Beckwith on 8 December 2006 at 19:48

    can anyone help me out here…

    I have designed our graphic text and applied a black border (as an outline) then combined them….

    if I add a cut contour to it- it cuts out the black border both sides. how can I get around this?

    Call me stupid but I’ve been working on it for ages and can’t seem to find the answer….

    cheers

    Try using a contour not a outline

    as you combined them that is what it will do.

    you should have kept them seperate and asigned the cut path to the outer edge only.
