Combining a library graphic with a design
Before combining library graphics with a design, consider the following hints:
♦ Library graphics may need to be resized before they can be combined with a design.
♦ When using Special Effects click Arrange > Justify to superimpose one group directly
on top of the other.
♦ Incoming graphics are cut-only objects on black vinyl. They do not inherit the current
vinyl or fill colors.
♦ Once a graphic has been filled, it becomes a print and cut object. If you want to print
an object, select it and click the Cuts Off tool.
To combine a library graphic with a design
1 Select the graphic and design. If using Special Effects, select A first than B.
2 Click Tools > Effects to open the Effects dialog box.
3 Choose an Effect.
Effects Library Examples
Following are some examples of the variety of effects you can create when combining Effects
and the Effects Library. These are just a few examples to help you as you experiment with your
design. The possible combinations are nearly endless.
