Frankcw 0 Posted August 21, 2017 I'm using cursive fonts in some vinyl graphics. The letters overlap and when cutting them out the cutter (of course) cuts into the next letter. Is there a way to make my text into one image to be cut? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted August 21, 2017 Weld them before cutting. Or what ever it is called in Vinyl Master. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted August 21, 2017 Yep it's weld. Frankcw, select the text and then either pull down the objects tab to "welding" and choose welding or the quick keys are Ctrl+J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcbevins 340 Posted August 21, 2017 I know in some apps, when you weld, (whatever it is called,) sometimes its not enough, you might also before you weld, reverse the path direction or change the winding rule. But often you don't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
