Q's about contour cutting.

Recommended Posts

From what i have gathered, if someone wanted to contour cut a printed graphic for say, a shirt, one would need a cutter with an eye.  If someone wanted to contour cut and their cutter did not have an eye, which way would be best to go about this?

The way i figured, import the graphic as a jpeg or a tiff, then manually draw a path around the graphic.  Is this the best way? 

What if the whole file is a vector, how would i avoid having the cutter cut all the other paths in it?  Would the graphic HAVE to be a non vector file? 

Thanx in advanced guys n gals.

Thanx wild.  It does give me an idea.  My only other issue is that my cutter doesn't have a feature to move it's origin..but the link did help.  Thanx again bud.

So from what i gather, it is a 2 step process, not an all in one shot.  That is good to know.
