Hi
I have a project that has mulit objects on it and I'm having a problem getting the outline pattern to work. The file has been converted form a pdf to a raster image PNG. I need to be able to cut out all the parts.

Thanks

I would try to fill the objects in a paint program (or the Pattern Editor) and when importing make sure us use the 'Floor Edges' (called the 'Round Edges' filter in PE). This ensures that each object has a nice even edge.

I tried that with no luck...I also tried saving the file with no background.

Thanks

Since there are only 3 objects I would blow it up with zoom and trace over it with the line tools.

You can try these. Outline the pattern then delete the pattern. Use the spline tool to trace the outline and assign a new cut path to the spline then delete the pattern outline since they have gaps in them. I don't know if it will work or not. But its worth a try.

RM,

Try saving in "BMP" format.. Sometimes PNG will not let you "auto path" it's format using color zero.
