    When I select them and point to "ungroup" all the options are grayed out.

    Thanks for the tips guys. I'm getting closer. I was getting some jagged lines when cutting. It seems most of this was being caused by the way I was vectorizing the image. I was scanning in color and then just using "autotrace" to select each section of the mask. This seemed to be vectorizing with far too many nodes. This time I scanned in black and white and then used "bezier". Is that the best way to do it? I ask because scanning in black and white seemed to be a little tricky. On my first couple of scans I was getting bits of white along some of the edges which of course threw off the vectorizing process. One more question.... Once I have scanned in and vectorized the window masks, how can I split them off into different sections so that I can rearange them or cut just one window at a time? Thanks again for the help guys!!!!

    Ok. I just figured out how to "inline" the image, but I still need some help on straightening it out.
  5. I'm attempting to scan and cut window masks for R/C car bodies. I understand how to scan and auto vectorize the image however I'm curious what is the best way to clean up the straight edges. As you can see in the pic below there are two lines that should be perfectly straight however due to not being able to position them perfectly in the scanner they are at a slight angle and when cut cause slightly jagged edges on the vinyl. Is there anyway to rotate the entire image to make those perfectly straight while not throwing off the rest of the shape? Also...How do I create essentially a reversed outline? I want cut a line approx. 1/8th inch inside the existing lines so that I can outline the windows in a different color. Thanks in advance for any help. FYI: I'm using FlexiSign 8.1.
