Good afternoon all
I have a photo I need to cut but when I put the cut outline around it, it will not cut.
I am not sure if it is something in the file he sent. When I click on the pic it shows as a square in the background but I can group and ungroup so it is vectored and I can put my cut line around it but it will not cut, I am not sure if it has something to do with the corners maybe.
I am going to show a pic of what it looks like and see if any of you experienced people can help
Not sure what is happening there, but you could make the same shape in Corel (the rectangle with rounded corners) then powerclip your design into the shape. Then put the cutline on that. See if that will work.
Still cannot get this to work
I can take a clipart of a vectored lightning bolt and it flaashes to show it will cut but when I do this sign or just a square I made it will not flash.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to get a sin done and cannot get it to cut.''

If you have the vector image of that, you can then take it into corel draw, make a duplicate image and then make the center transparent, make the outline a hairline and assign a cutline to it. Not sure what your using for a rip but I use Colorip here. You have to make sure that you have a spot color set up in corel draw and it has to be named 'CutPath'
the cutline has to be named exactly as above or it won't work.
I then save the image as a .eps file, load it into colorip and you will then see what is called the 'Dancing Ants' around the perimeter of your image, which is your cut line.
I was going to say, if you want, send me over the vector image and I can add the cutline for you real quick and send it back as a .eps file.
Thanks
Mike

I have assigned the cutline and it still will not cut. I cannot figure out why. It is supposed to flash in versaworks so you know it is cutable but I cannot get it to work.
I guess I will have to call Nazdar tomorrow if I can't figure it out.
