Hi Guys
I scaned a santa went into the pattern editor removed the backround saved to pattern lib. When I brought it up and put it on a board I got a cutout all around it what happened?
Any help
Thanks

I Really need to see your MPW file to help you. If you did not save this ... you may need to rescan. I can not do much with the JPEG’s you posted. A 7kb JPEG is just a bunch of little squares. PM me and I'll send you my e-mail. You need to zip this file to post it on the forum ..., but then you will be giving away the ownership of the pattern.

You may need a board that is one inch thick or more, or chance your depth setting.

The scan looks great.

It looks like a deep pattern(0.75") on a shallow (0.5")board. I bet if you increase your board thickness, those cutout pieces come back. Rob

Hi Jim,

Did you remember to flip your cut :wink:

I always wondered what that was for. What does it actually do Al?

It flips your cut from the inside to the out side of the pattern outline :cool:

The "Flip Cut" changes/moves your cutter from the inside of the line to the outside portion. As you click on the option you will see the change.
