Editing the digitized design

You can edit a digitized design either when you are creating it or after the design has been
completed.
Correcting errors while digitizing
♦
Press the Backspace key to erase the last point digitized.
♦
If the shape has already been closed, click the Selection tool and select the shape to be
edited, and then click Shape > Reopen Shape. The shape opens with the puck
connected to the last point digitized. Press Backspace to delete points as needed.
Editing an existing design
♦
Add, delete or move points with Composer's Detail Editing tools.
♦
Add shapes to an existing design by opening the file (File > Digitize Open) and
creating new digitized shapes.
♦
Verify the accuracy of the digitized image by pen plotting and checking the results.
Pen plotting and checking
Pen plotting allows you to verify the accuracy of the digitized image before cutting it in vinyl.
After plotting, closely check shape contours for bumps or other imperfections. Digitizing too
many points in a segment often causes these irregularities. Use the Detail Editing tools in
Composer to remove or add points.
