punch text into object

Recommended Posts

I am doing a sign with a arrow & the phone number in the arrow & instead of having to cut the numbers with white vinyl, I just want to punch the numbers into the black arrow & then just weed the numbers leaving exposed the white sign substrate underneath. How do I do this??

Type the text over the graphic, in a different color, so you can align things.  Then select all, and Ctrl + K to Combine.

I'm Having the same problem, but because I have outlined my object, when I weed out my letters I get the background color instead of just a clear look thru. SB automatically makes my outline layer a full color without the cut out of the above layer showing all the way thru. HELP! LOL hope I didn't make myself sound to dumb

I don't have a cutter but when I design in inkscape to print to my epson I set the fill color to white for text knockout?

Put the text on whatever it is you are punching out of, make sure the text is a path (choose path union to do this).  Highlight both, choose path, difference.
