no fear eyes

Postby ade the blade » Tue Jul 09, 2013 5:38 am

hello folks, hope someone can shed some light on this. as an example, if i want to just cut around the outer outline only on the eyes and not the inner `white` parts how do i go about it ? if i use the contour cutting program on my software it cuts out the inners as well as the outer. i need it to cut out the image as a whole for printed t shirt transfers. cheers everyone Ade

Hello there!

Have no idea how the cutting software works, but attached is a file with 2 different versions you may try.

Good luck!

Hi Ade,

Looks like your getting some good replies here.
For me, the easiest thing to do would be to:

1. resize the page to fit your drawing.
( having the drawing outside the page might totally confuse the cutter. )

2. Use the node editing tool to select and delete all the nodes that make up the interior
sub-paths of the object. Box selecting as many as possible at one time, then shift selecting what ever is left.
Deleting the interior nodes will give you just the outer path.
