Chevyscrounger 0 Posted March 2, 2016 This graphic is silver with a red outline. How do I make it so the machine only cuts out the red that's the actual drop shadow and not what's under the silver? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chevyscrounger 0 Posted March 6, 2016 Still couldn't get that to work. The option was grayed out. I finally ended up remaking the file from scratch and it finally worked. Thanks for the help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LPWash 75 Posted March 7, 2016 You can only do two items at once when doing front minus back or back minus front. You need to group/merge the red layer as one and then your gray top layer as one. Your Letter O's were the issue. So as it sits right now, you have red as one item, your gray as another layer, then the two inner parts of your letter O's made it four pieces. Once your group each color separately, then I like to hold down left click, drag the mouse around your work then object/back minus front (or front minus back), whichever gives you that effect. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GraphxNMore 282 Posted March 11, 2016 Or you could try 3D extrude. It may not give the desired result though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
