designed 0 Posted December 20, 2008 I created this black box and then typed text and added it to this black box and went to cut it but it will not come through like the picture it will not cut right it is like I have two different pieces instead of one piece of black and weed out the text. Can someone help me with this I have tried to blend and everything but I cannot get it to cut like the picture.

Jay2703 704 Posted December 20, 2008 Try this one. I welded the outline of your text with the rectangle behind it. Text_Cut2.EPS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firemalt 10 Posted December 20, 2008 Although I have CorelDraw, I don't use it. I played with it for a few minutes... see if this works. Graphic1.eps Graphic1.eps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeMan 0 Posted December 20, 2008 Here is one way to do this in Corel: Select Object Arrange - Ungroup Change Outline of Rectangle to None Select All Objects Arrange - Shaping - Simplify Select White object and Delete Select remaining 2 objects and Group Done -Mike Edit: Assumes you are wanting to cut only the black area with the white areas punched out Text CutOut.eps Text CutOut.eps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buggie Pilot 4 Posted December 20, 2008 Designed when I have two colors and the cuts are correct ( check view... wireframe ) I just cut both colors ( in cutter menu) at the same time. I only take the time to weld or change it if I plan to revisit the file more times in the future Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted December 21, 2008 Here's another way of doing it. Select Object......Ungroup Select Rectangle and Black text outline and weld Select White Text then welded rectangle and combine. Here's what you end up with.

designed 0 Posted December 21, 2008 The way I got it to work was to make my box or graphic etc. Make text contour it break apart contour place the black part weld everything put my text in there and then trim it and pull the text out from what you used to trim and presto perfecto!!! Thank you for all your help here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
