How to apply outline pattern to my Lacrosse rack outline?

You do not have a pattern. It is a vector/line drawing. Just select your lines and then select the cut path tool.

Okay, I will try it. thank you.

Break the line in a few places to leave areas in cut so your pieces won't bounce around. Cut Path does not leave tabs.

Hi Clint,

I'm a bit confused on your statement above.

The Cut Path Tool DOES create tabs! (They are not visible on-screen, but they WILL be present on your actual board cutouts.)

I am guessing you are thinking of a situation where a Manual Bit Assignment is made to a vector? Whatever the thinking was, if the Cut Path Tool is used as normal, then tabs will be present A-OK.

If you draw a line and say cut on this line, the machine will do just that. If the line is a closed loop of some kind, there will be nothing to hold the enclosed area in place. If you use the cutout tool the machine places tabs.
