Rounded Boarder Problem

Recommended Posts

I am working on a Round boarder. The Problem is when i send it to sign cut. It wants to a Circle in the boarder wwhere the knife would turn and go to the inside. THe only way i found out how to fix this is to Rasterize the boarder and then trace it again.

I am using Illustrator CS4.

it was doing that because of the two rounded paths you have intersecting over each other, try this one

What did you do to fix it?

-opened in AI

-object>expand appearance... to change it from an outline into a filled path

- that step makes the beginning and end point rounded overtop of each other which is where you were getting your circle cutout

-then you do pathfinder>unite(add to shape area on older versions i think)

-bam all done, that step just adds any overlapping paths to the whole shape area
