Alternate
You can interchange shape placement by selecting Normal, Odd on Top, or Even on Top from
the Alternate group box. The system reads in the order specified, arranging shapes by screen
position, not by how you selected them.
Note: By alternating shape placement, you can assign vinyl colors to alternating shapes with
one click of the Vinyl Assignment tool. If odds are on top and you assign a vinyl color to an odd
shape, all odds are assigned the same color.
