contour cut question

[laserman70]

When i make a countour cut, is there any way of undercutting? Such as, I make a contour cut for my bitmap. I would like it to cut just a bit smaller. Is there somewhere to do this? or do I have to manually go in and mess with the cut to make it just a touch smaller.
thanks for the help..

You can adjust you distance in design central to a negitive value. (-0.100)

Yes, when you add your contour cut, you can enter a negative number in your Design Central box. This is a great way to cut of that pixelled edge of the bitmap

Yikes, I wish flexi 8.6v2 came with a book :s It is like a guessing game to me.
I have a picture down below, showing my graphic and design central. Where would this undercut be put in? It wont allow me to put anything in where the contour tabs are.
Sorry to be a pain. It becomes very frustrating w/o literature.
thanks


I found it, sorry thank you anyway

When you select the contour cut tool, the options in the design central box will change.

just remember though, if its a bitmap (jpg etc) with a white background, its going to contour around the rectangle, not the actual interior graphic.

but thats a whole 'nuther problem..

for the above case, use the "make transparent" tool first.
