Infinity loop with names

[BrianArnold]

I am looking to make a infinity loop with a name on each side and maybe a date. how do i go about trimming the loop where the names are. Something like this.

Draw boxes and set to zero depth. Put over those spaces you don’t want carved. Then put the name over those. You may need to use the send to back/front commands to make it work.

• Make the infinity loop
• Place a small retangle over the area of the name location
• Set loop to full depth / rectangle to zero depth and choose Combine. This will break the infinity loop and you can now edit those nodes
• Insert names
• Edit nodes to match letters/design and set all objects to full depth and Combine again.

Carve, set path to “Outside”

This should help you

Monogram / Door Hanger / Fatten Type

I get a lot of questions on how to do this, see pictures below. Fatten Type You can use the Offsetter app to Fatten type. After you fatten it select all and fill. Then you will need to set the areas to either full depth or zero depth and then re-combine [1] Monogram / Door Hanger Remember once you set your outline you can control it somewhat on how it cuts by choosing, inside, outside or on path. Tabs are your friend with these I use one to two of them in every waste area. [IMG_3262] [IMG…
