If you want a border around the printed design, you can increase the Size value.Īfter you click ok, you can see in the Layers window that a new Shadow Layer was added. With the Print+Cut Outlines checkbox checked, this will set the original design to Print+Cut Print which will only print and not cut. This will generate a layer that has the outline of the design and will set the Cut Line type to Print+Cut Cut so that it will only be cut and not print. Set the Size to 0 and check the Print+Cut Outline checkbox.
To set set this up, choose Shadow Layer (Contour Cut) under the Effects menu. If you do a Preview to see the lines that will be cut, you will see every part of the design (hat, eyes, nose, buttons) will be cut out which we do not want to do as we want to print out the snowman design and cut around it. In this example, we will use a snowman from the Winter shapes in SCAL4/eCAL2. This will show you how to cut around a design.
