    Morning people

    In signlab how do i go about doing an outline that would overlap the lettering.all the outlines ive done previously ive made flush with the lettering .I want to see if i can extend the life of a six month vinyl by putting a 7 year vinyl outline round it …..just a bit of research and development 😀 😀 😀

    1. Do your outline as normal.
    2. Seperate it from the original text and make a copy of the original text (move it out the way for later use.
    3. Apply a 2 or 3 mm “INLINE” to the original text using the same colour as the outline.
    4. Weld it and delete the text
    5. Bring back the original text you copied and use the arrow keys to position it over the outline.

    Cheers Rod ….why didnt i think of that . i thought i was missing something out on the outline box. So much of signlab you learn as you go along. If you were to read the instruction manual wed all be here for months !

    Just create an outline and overlay weld anyway if you do an outline in signlab it covers below the text anyway as it is a signwriters product and knows what you are trying to do.

    ooopsss think I have read the question wrong oh well
