How to get registration marks for layering vinyl?

Recommended Posts

I am trying to create a sign consisting of text with the shadow effect. In order to get the registration marks I make 2 squares, duplicate them, make one of them the color of the shadow and the color of the initial text and then put them on top of each other in the program.

THE PROBLEM when I do the gray#6 square it shows up as a seperate grey #6 than the shadow. When it comes time to cut I end up with 2 different grey #6 to cut separately. I tried to group and combine them but I always end up with 2 different cuts for the same color. Oddly enough this never happens with the primary color.

I actually got it to work once but can't seem to do it again.

If there is an easier way or any tips on cutting registration marks would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help

If you hold the CTL key you can select more than one color to cut. The way I do it is just put a mark in a color I know will not be used and then select it with each cut selection. Hope this makes sense :huh:

Makes perfect sence and it works great. If I only asked sooner I would have saved hours.

I can't possibly thank you enough.

Have a great night,
