Sure Cuts a Lot 2 Trace Image Tutorial
Posted on September 11th, 2009 in How To's, Sure Cuts a Lot How To
We all want to have custom images to cut. That is the biggest bonus of Sure Cuts a Lot software. If you are working with simple clean lined images you can now trace those images in Sure Cuts a Lot 2 instead of using a third party software like inkscape. I created a quick tutorial to show you how easy it is to create a custom image with the trace tool. I also show you how you can manipulate that images by breaking it apart and only cutting the parts that you want. There are additional sure cuts a lot tutorials here.

charity –
How do u create a fold down card with sure cuts a lot. I’m working on a pickup truck that I want to create as card – the fold line will be at the top of the cab of the two trucks. So far, it all cuts out into 2 pieces and I want to cut it as one whole piece. Any advice.

if you are using sure cuts a lot over lap the piece where you want the fold line to be. highlight each piece of the card and select weld. use the preview button. that should weld the two pieces together so you can fold them instead of having 2 separate pieces.

love this function as I am creating some Iris fold cards . I have the patterns and am creating the cut out parts from the outline.
I now have 4 pages. A B C D so I can make four separate cards.
How can I now combine them to cut them from one piece of card?
Should I have made layers instead?
thanks

I have another question on this.
I have traced my image BUT I am left with a couple of unwanted lines. Break apart did not work on those two lines.
CAn I use my image design software to remove them. or is there a way in SCAL.
Thanks

It’s OK I found I needed to use the nodes tool.
Thank you
