Outline around everything
Draws one line around everything selected and changes nothing else. Use it for a cut line round a sheet of engraved parts, or to get the outside edge of a design without taking the design apart.
1
Select the shapes you want a line drawn around. They all have to be closed.
2
One outline is traced round the outside of the lot. A hole in the middle is not part of an outside edge, so it is not traced.
3
The new line is added. Everything you selected is still exactly where it was.
Every setting
1What each number in the dialog means, and where it starts.
Margin
Pushes the outline out. Zero traces the shapes exactly.
What it is
Draws one outline around everything selected and leaves the shapes themselves alone. Use it to put a cut line round a group of engraved parts.
