How Do I Cut Around Pieces of an Image For Alignment of a 3d Art Application?

[Jules]

No, it’s in Beta right now and hasn’t been rolled out to everyone yet.

Hmm…okay if your design is time sensitive, you can try using one of the alternate methods for alignment. (That involves use of jigs or something called Kentucky Windage.)

A way to improve object placement

Here is the method I use to compensate for the slight offset I currently experience with object placement. This method will probably be obsolete when precision alignment is available but in the meantime it can help if you want exact (or at least extremely close) placement of artwork on the bed. Using this file: [image] Upload it to the GFUI. Set up a score. Attach a piece of graph paper (here I’m using 1 inch grid divided into tenths) to a piece of card stock and measure the thickness w…

It’s fiddly, but it gives pretty good alignment around cuts that have no other relation to the file in the interface. (That’s the problem with Print & Cut files, since everything happens relative to the other features in an SVG file, you need a way to include the image printed on another printer into the mix.)

Although, if the cut sections are simple rectangles, you might find it easier to just cut the poster with an exacto and a ruler, and then glue down the pieces on the cutouts from the wood. (Might be quicker.)
