I have an image i'm trying to make a contour with. I want the inside object to contour out to the outside object. Every time i try to create the contour it says offset too large. I've tried i set the offset to 0 but it still doesn't work. I want the dark green to fade out to light green.
View 7 RepliesI have a donut shaped image, including the "donut hole" inner circle. The donut contains swirls made up of different colors. The problem is, when I apply the cut contour line to the image, it wants to cut the lines inside the donut, along with the outer and inner circle.
When I apply boundary, it does not include the cut line on the inner circle. I want to print/cut, and want the circle gone.
Ive got a image(Fill K-100) in a vector format that i'm wanting to have a faded contour inside from White(C-0 M-0 Y-0 K-0) to Red(M-100)
I can get it to have a single color fade but not from white center to red "glow" around the white.
If I use 2 monitors to display 1 image with the image extending from one monitor into and across the second monitor, can I make a screen shot of the entire image without any break in the middle where it crosses from one monitor to the other? Will it be one continuous screenshot of the entire image, even though the image is displayed on 2 monitors?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow to maybe trace the contour of one object (font) to close the lines of another object to allow it to process in Cut Studio for a Roland GX-24? Basically there's a volleyball and on a corner of the ball the font will overlap but because there are so many intersecting lines, having the cutter make the cuts would be impossible.
I did "contour" the font but the lines inside the volleyball image are not "closed" and I want it to follow the text shape to ensure uniformity instead of me trying to close every node manually.
If i draw e.g. the letter "R" i immediatly know height and width of this object. But what i want to know now is the exact length of the contour. How do i do that in X4?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are very, very new to the cutting of a corel design with my roland. I have letters that consist of a block letter with an 8 pt black outline as the back layer with a block letter and a 4 pt white outline as the top layer, making the shadow effect.
I convert curves and add my contour cut line, but it keeps appearing INSIDE the black outline and cuts the black out. The image cuts out fine and the one color part of the letter does, but the black and white outline shadows are cut out.
I've tried boundary and contouring every way I can figure. Obviously there is a setting/trick I don't know.

I haven't experienced my contour offset 'jumping' in too large increments.....BUT
my contour offset tool is not working like it used to.
Only rarely would I receive the message 'contour offset too large' when offsetting a bezier curve .025"
Whenever this would happen I would then reduce my nodes or convert them to cusp or smooth. This would almost always fix the 'countour offset too large' problem.
I've reset Coreldraw to factory default but still have this problem with certain lines.

View 13 Replies View RelatedIn working with slightly more complex curve shapes in CorelDraw X5, I'm discovering when using the contour option it results in an error ("Contour Offset too large"). This was not experienced in CorelDraw 9 at all. I'm experiencing this error with inside or outside contours, steps at 1, offset at 0.1. Reducing nodes eventually will allow the contour to be successful. However, it takes an extreme reduction of nodes which distorts the shape a lot.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI was comparing a few drafting and was curious if CorelDraw X6 had the ability to create contour plots using 3-dimensional spatial data (e.g., topographic surveys). Basically, what I was looking to do was import a table (say from excel) with a number of data points which each have three coordinate locations (X, Y, Z). I would be looking for the program to take these data points and be able to draw lines or shading between them in essentially what would be a topographic map (contour map). In the past, I have used another program called Surfer to create the contour maps, and have then had to import the exported image to an older version of CorelDraw.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create contour cut lines on rasterized images using Illustrator CS4. I have been changing the PNG files to TIFF files and saving with preserve transparency and then placing them in Illustrator. From there I live trace a copy to make a vector outline of the image, but I am uncertain what to do to make it so that I can upload my file into FlexiSign, make contour lines from that file, print, and cut. Everytime I save the file into AI format and bring it into FlexiSign it just contour cuts a rectangle around the image instead of making an actual outline of the picture.

way to create an outline contour cut for decals? Iv'e been doing this for years and it's been a headache. I have the graphic/text, duplicate it with a thick outline. Say .25". Then Convert Outline To Object. The problem I have is that if it's a complexe graphic or line of text, a number (sometimes a large number) of the nodes are broken and I have to join them. And CD sometimes adds way too many nodes. So I have to spend a long time deleting unnessesary nodes to clean it up.
Iv'e had people suggest to use the Arrange, Shaping, Boundery function. But that doesn't allow me to make the boundery any further away from the art.
Is there a way to change the outline color around a large group of images all at once?

View 4 Replies View RelatedProblem: How to enlarge (100 times) image of multiple intersecting low resolution contour lines wile avoiding pixelation?
Simple answer: It can't be done.
Second thoughts: Well, under some circumstances it can be done... sort of. For example if lines are orthogonal to begin with then simple re-sample to nearest neighbor algorithm will do fine. If lines are simple enough, then tracing them with pen tool and recreating the original lines at higher resolution by stroking the paths with a brush will do also. Also if original lines are smooth and thick enough then some re-sampling, blurring and leveling can work (anisotropic diffusion filter may work) but will produce smoothing artifacts at corners.
From what I can see the problem boils down to creatively converting the original lines to vectors (paths / shapes) and avoiding the whole messiness of raster anti-aliasing. But here we face additional problems: Adobe trace engine is not smart enough to recognize geometric shapes, intersecting lines, straight edges, orthogonal lines and mathematical curves - just try to trace a font and you will end up with a baggy monster. Additionally, it appears that in Photoshop center-line trace is not possible and you are limited to outlines.
