REALLY getting tired....... Nodes are eating up my time !

I got everything to work on the contour part mostly , just cant get it to go to the inside of the graphics .. I want it to do in just a small amount ( like flexi does ) with its -30 setting.

The "offset" setting determines how far the contour is placed in or outside of the original path.
Once it is set you break apart the contour so you can use just the inner path as the cut line.

Thanks I got that , but it's filling in my shape with a solid color ... I'm hoping it would just put a line like Flexi so I can see where it is cutting on the graphic ?

With your path selected just hit the "no fill" icon over in the color swatches pallet (the square with the X in the middle).
You need to study up on your tools a little - we are getting into basic stuff now.

That is exactly what I did , it left the contour line and deleted the image..

I will have to tell you step by stepm how I am doing this I guess.

I think I just got it , Thanks !

One other question , since I normally use -30 offset in Flexi , what is the commone offset in Corel to use ? For me 31 looks correct but I can't really tell.
