FlexiSign and Contour (inside?) Cutting - Help!

[mnapuran]

Okay... is there not a way to have Flexi do cutting wherever you want it to?

For example.... let's say you have a shape resembling an O (or anything with an inside to it for example). You can contour cut around it after printing it by using the standard contour cut tool, BUT how can you define a cut line INSIDE as well? So that all you are left with is the O itself, and not an O with vinyl on the inside.

Hope I explained this in a way that's easy enough to understand

When you invoke Effects->Contour Cut on of the options on the Design Central dialog is "Holes". Check this box and the inside of your 'O' will be cut as well. Checking 'Holes' will make any area outside of the object selected subject to a contour cut. 'Outside' being defined as drawing a straight line from a point known to be outside the object and having to cross an even number of edges of the object to get to the area being tested to see if it's inside or outside the object. If you don't check 'Holes' then only the gross outer contour will be cut.

Or make your own contour paths, wherever and however many you need, select them and then do Arrange->Contour Cut->Make Contour Cut.
