i will go one better than that. go to your program files and where signblazer is installed, you will find a learning guide. it has the answer to your question. or, you put one object on top of another object, select them both and select punch through weld. there is more to it, but that is the simple answer. READ THE LEARNING GUIDE

Use Photoshop or Illustrator/Corel for design work and be happy. You can also try Inkscape, which is free! http://inkscape.org/. My 'Idiot's Guide' to using SignBlazer is one word: don't. ;)

I say the exact opposite of what Nuke says :) . SignBlazer is the easiest , bestest software ever .

What do you want to know? You select two objects that are on top of each other, Arrange + Weld + Punch Through and it makes a cutout in the bottom object where the top object is. If you don't want to keep the top object, use Arrange + Combine. It does the same thing but deletes the top object.

When using punch thru , has anybody outlined the punched thru part so future shrinkage would not show ( plus aligning ) ? Is it better to put the small decal under or over the larger decal ?

thanks

I would rather lay it on top than punch it through. It's too hard to get it to fit exact and shrinkage is another issue.

use cast film and you don't have to worry about shrinkage.
