Thread: Help With Cleaning up Edges

  1. Default Help With Cleaning up Edges

    I have cut this pattern and for some reason I cannot get the rectangle recesses to cut without cutting them separately from the main shape. Second problem is getting the round part round. I have tried editing it with the pattern editor but just can't seem to get it symmetrical. Last problem, I'm trying to get the cut path to follow the pattern exactly but as it is now, it cuts about 1/8" away from it and leaves a lip.

    If anyone can help with it I would be very grateful. Coin Holder.mpc

    Is this what you are looking for? You need to outline the rectangles. You also need to adjust the off set.

    You need to invert the carve region and merge subtractive - set depth to .500

    I am new to photoshop so still trying to figure it out. My initial plan was to draw a circle and then cut and past the top half onto it. But not working out for me.
