[Ian Bingham]

Is it for printing or cutting?

you need to join the lines, they are broken apart

If you use the Powerclip to fill the shape you will see a line running across the whole image….not sure how to solve that without redrawing it.

i haven’t looked at the file, sorry, but from what you say, and the responses, i’m guessing you need to make 2 halves of a circle different colours / fills,

if you’ve got a zig zag line across it, draw a box which has one line through the circle, convert to curves and add your nodes / zog zags on the line crossing the circle, select all, then intersect, remove the box, and you’ll have a new ‘half’ ontop of the circle, you can weld / trim to make two perfect halves, or just leave the half circle ontop of the whole circle.

i hope that makes sense, sounds complicated, but would take just a minute or two.

thanks for the replies guys

ian – it’s for printing and cutting, as he wants it on stationary and labels along with signs and banners

harry – not sure about the powerclip function

hugh – i’ll have a go at working through your description later- it sounds like it makes sense. i think what i have been doing wrong previous is for such as this – drawing a circle, manually inserting the lines, then using the shape tool to break apart – but – not joining the lines as ian noticed.

although its prob not good practice – its only become a problem here as i needed to fill with colour to print from it as well as cut.

daveyboy – perfect – thanks – i can get on with it while i suss out the proper techniques 😀
