jgeck90 7 Posted September 8, 2012 I have a friend asking me to cut this decal as shown. He wants the red outline as well (not the black background). Question is, how can i make the red outline? I have photoshop, signcut/blazer, coreldrawx5, and Inkscape. This is not a font style, it was hand drawn. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jeff.

towman208 38 Posted September 11, 2012 click on your text while in blazer, go up to manipulate down to slit object. click away from text, then you ca click on and hold the grey part of your text or what ever color is on the inside of the letters. right click and delete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgeck90 7 Posted September 12, 2012 I feel like i am an idiot or something. I really don't understand. I don't even see "Split Object" under Manipulate. I see it under "Arrange" but nothing happens when i try to follow your other instructions. Thanks much. Jeff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
towman208 38 Posted September 14, 2012 sorry need to find time to sleep. i said it backwards go to arrange-split object, that should highlight the word custom locals. then just click outside the highlighted box, custom locals should have a grey color in the inside. click on each grey part and pull it out. when you have all the grey out you can highlight it and delete, then go back and highlight custom locals. go back up to arrange-combine objects you can then go to manipulate and outline your text. hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
