How can I create cuttable outlines in shapes.

Recommended Posts

This is probably very simple, but I am just learning Inkscape. I can easily do what I want in Photoshop, but then I have to save and then vectorize in a diff program. Id like to just do it all in Inkscape. Here is my question and an example. I do alot of arrows, stars, shapes etc with colored borders. See example. I need the borders cut on the vinyl so I can use as spray mask to paint with. How can i do this? in Inkscape the strokes dont show up for cutting it seems, and I cant see how to do this! I cant just make the same shape a bit smaller or bigger and combine them as Im not using simple shapes.  testarrowjl7.th.jpgForgive me if its a dumb question!

Where did you get inkscape from? I've downloaded it to 3 of my own computers with no problem, and before I wised up and put it on a flash drive I had downloaded and installed it to a half dozen customer computers. No virus or spyware problems. What AV is telling you that you have a trojan?
