problem with over lapping letters
« on: October 26, 2011, 07:38:47 AM »
I read somewhere how to fix the issue of over lapping letters as you will see in the attachment. I want the green border around the pink and black zebra fill but not the thin black lines in the green border. I tried to attach the actual Corel X5 file but it would not take, so I am attaching a JPEG

Is this a font? Outline it if it is a font and attach the .eps or .pdf file.

Break the font up first then weld together.

In photoshop I would separate it and then expand the green a few pixels to fill in the space.

it looks like there is a hairline outline around the green.  You can also ungroup everything and weld the green together like ink said.

On a related side note, I constantly have to remind myself to weld brushstroke names for cad-cutting vinyl.

We often have extra cuts in our vinyl that didn't need to be there... either due to live trace artifacts or otherwise.

Then there are times that I realize we SHOULD put extra cuts just to make weeding the larger jobs easier.

We talked about that in this thread. http://www.theshirtboard.com/index.php?topic=322.0
