When you are satisfied with the appearance of your puzzle pieces, click on the
Export
button and a window
will open and you can save your puzzle as an SVG file.
In MTC, import your SVG puzzle file and align it over the image you wish to convert into a puzzle. Perform a
print and cut as presented in
Chapter 9
. Alternatively, if you print your image a little bit larger than the
overall design of the puzzle, you can set your origin just inside the corner of your printed image and then cut
the design using the
Knife Point
setting (Refer to
Section 2.02
).
