Designing Contour Cut Jobs in Flexi

Contour cut jobs contain both a printed element, and one or

more contour cuts.

Contour cut jobs are output using the RIP & Print dialog. When

the RIP & Print dialog is used, all design elements are

automatically converted to printed graphics, except for those

elements that were created specifically as contour cuts. Those

contour cuts will remain as cut elements, and will be cut into

the printed design when output.

There are two main ways in which contour cuts can be added

to jobs:

• Objects in a job can be converted into contour cut paths.

• The Contour Cut effect can be used to trace a contour

around one or more objects.

Converting Vector Objects to Contour Cuts

Vector objects can be transformed into contour cuts. This

allows you create a contour cut of any needed shape.

A fan shape converted into a contour cut

To convert a vector object into a contour cut:

1. Select the object.

2. From the Arrange menu, point to Contour Cut and then

select Make Contour Cut.

The object’s outline color will change to a light gray, indicating

that it has been converted to a contour cut. Even after being

converted to a contour cut, the object will have its original

attributes.

Converting Contour Cuts Back Into Vector Objects

To convert the contour cut back to a vector object:

1. Select the contour cut.

2. From the Arrange menu, point to Contour Cut and then

select Release Contour Cut.

Using the Contour Cut Effect

The Contour Cut effect allows you to trace a contour cut

around one or more objects in your design.

To trace a contour cut around one or more objects using the

Contour Cut effect:

1. Select the objects.

2. From the Effect menu, select Contour Cut.

3. Adjust the values in DesignCentral.

Select the type between Contour, Rectangle and

Ellipse.

Offset distance from object to cutting line. The value

can be negative, allowing you to make a contour cut

line inside the design, in order to prevent

misalignments in printing and cutting process. This

field is only available for Contour mode.
