CRD 9 Posted May 8, 2009 In X4. Make the text. Hit Comtrol + F9 Select outwards Select distance in mm. Hit apply. Brake the surrounding in parts by right clicking and select break. Now you have two seperate objects which you can cut and inport in SC X2. You can apply registration marks in SC X2 I hope it is clear if not let me know.

fragged8 0 Posted May 9, 2009 hiya Man thats so much easier Paco thank you for that, i really appreciate it. iT'S LOOKS PERFECT :-) i haven't output to x2 yet but it looks spot on in x4.. here is a picture of the boat, it's a kingsley farrington built in Norfolk,uk by hand. being a prefectionist he hated the current logo and insists it is removed and done right. ( i didn't do the first one) clickable img Here is the logo I need to vector, when i vector it in x4 the out line hates the camera flash piece at the top of the S and the vector outline is so wobbly ?? I don't need the stripes, just the S and the 218 clickable regards Richard,uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
