3. Your HotShape displays on the Editor window. Choose Print to
process the label and cut out the HotShape.
Cutting Around Objects
While objects may not be both print and cut out objects at the same
time, there is a way to
cut around some print objects. You can apply a
cut bounding box to a print object, which is like adding an invisible
border around the object. The system then cuts around the cut bounding
box that encloses your print object. You can apply cut bounding boxes to
all types of print objects: text, graphics, HotShapes, and even bar codes.
Hint! You can also apply cut bounding boxes to cut out objects, to
make it easier to strip the waste material from around the cut
out object.
To apply a cut bounding box to an object
1. Create your label in the normal way, adding objects as described in
Adding Objects on page 7-3.
2. With your label displayed on the Editor window, select the object to
which you want to apply a cut bounding box. If you have many
layered objects on the screen, use
<Tab> to cycle through the objects
to find the one you want to use. (For more information, see Selecting
a layered object on page 7-28.)
3. Select the Object Properties tool or press the < Object
Properties> key.
You’ll see the Properties screen appropriate for the type of object
you selected. The values in the fields on the Properties screen
reflect the current properties of the object selected.
