2001kx 0 Posted July 27, 2014 Im trying to add my own cut / weed lines for easier weeding using the 2 pt tool in corel draw x6 (see pic) when i combine and export the .eps file with the line that i created... when cut it will cut 2x (up and back usually cutting through the vinyl backing paper). How can i make a single cut line like the image itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted July 27, 2014 most cutting software has the weed lines built in it.as a feature.. That is too ez to just use an exacto knife thru it. takes seconds to do it.. Less time than drawing weed lines by hand. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BearlyRich 167 Posted July 28, 2014 I agree with Mz Skeeter, however, your problem is probably due to having a line width set for your added lines. Width is created by having two line and filling the space between! Set your line to none! Then fix your blade depth. No matter how many time you cut the same line, the blade should not go through the backing paper! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dcbevins 340 Posted July 28, 2014 From CorelDraw seting width to Hairlline seems to work best for me using the freehand tool. Adding a hairline contour works if your trying to outline an object, that or the shaping tool Boundary. It sounds like you had a small rectangle instead of a line. That would account for it cutting twice. Some cutting software has the ability auto generate weedlines. Sometimes that works well, somtimes. Also some cutting software lets you preview the cut, giving you a little animation of how it is going to go beforehad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcbevins 340 Posted July 28, 2014 Just thought of something, Inkscape has options under preferences-Selector to change some of the Bounding Box behavior. Ignore that! Wrong post! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
