How do I get these to cut together?

Hi Paul

Not sure what you mean, there are 2 colours so they need to be cut seperately and then applied over each other.

If you mean to avoid lines/ridges in final result then make a copy of both, weld the yellow and dark red together on one copy which you then cut red and then cut yellow text to fit on top….

This is going to be printed. I want it to cut the Yellow and Burgundy together so the customer can just fit it in one.

Then again I would copy both colours Paul, then weld one yellow and one burg together, remove fill from this weld and set a hairline outline for the knife but no outline (which there isn’t anyway) for either of the colours to be printed.

its one click in signlab, but I would also add a bleed so as avoid any white showing, done it as an example but you need to assign your cut line

Select both, copy.

Then weld them together, create your cut line from the result and paste the original back.

You’ll have to put a bleed on the lettering to allow for miss alignment (which can be a pain with this sort of lettering)

If there hadn’t been any inside cuts then Effect-create boundary would have done it with one click.

I don’t seem to have the option to add attachments in this thread so I couldn’t attach the one I did for you.

I think the post has been moved to a forum that does not allow uploads 😀

In Corel, group both objects, apply contour with no offset, break contour group from control object and apply cutting parameters to that object (may not be required for some plotter utilities)

I was defiantly logged in so think it must have been moved like you said Peter.

I realised after posting that Ian had already said the same thing.

Alan’s suggestion is a good one as contour seems to work faster than welding when there is a complicated set of objects.
