how do i cut a shape

Recommended Posts

How do I get this to cut as it looks and not as a very thin outline? Does that make sense? Do I have to fix it in Inkscape or FlexiStarter 8? I'm so frustrated and I know it's something very simple but I just can't get my mind wrapped around it. I have searched on here (for hours) and also looked at Youtube videos for so long all I hear is Blah Blah Blah, all I want to do now is pull my hair out.

you trace it in either program so it is in a vector format the plotter can understand

the hardest thing for a newbie to wrap their head around is the difference in vector graphics - which are actually mathematical representation of a shape - unlike a raster graphic you are used to that is made up of pixels - it is a whole different critter.

Thank you so much, sometimes my ADD gets the best of me. Now that I have that figured out I think I'll take a nap, lol!  Btw, the video at the link you posted didn't work.
