Drawing Absolute Blank...How do I

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to cut this design for a cup and the lighter gray background is the template I'm trying to follow. I have tried the Arc option in my VinylMaster but can't get it just right. I feel like there is another option I'm supposed to use but for the life of me am drawing a total blank on how to distort this to look right wrapped around a cup.

THANK YOU for your help!

I've never tried to do this in VM, not even sure it's possible, but in Inkscape it's simple enough, you just do a Pattern Along Path to get the distortion you want. The trick is figuring out the arc of the curve needed to get the correct distortion for the cup. There's a posting on here someplace about how to do this. I think if you search for Truncated Cone you should find it.
