Corel Draw Cut Contour Help

[Chris Wool]

copy the image make it as dark as possible , convert to black white, or 8 bit gray then trace it, delete middle bits. is one way not necessarily the best.

[Hugh Potter]

As Chris says…

Bitmaps> convert the png to bitmap

Bitmaps> Mode > black and white In dialog box select line art and adjust image until mostly black.

Trace bitmap > line art > ok.

Select object and break apart or remove white areas/ nodes, add outline and remove fill. You may want to bring in the outline in a mm or two to allow for edges.

[Chris Windebank]

simply trace as outline low quality
move to one side, object/shaping/boundary
and there is your outline
