Manual tracing: As shown in
Section 7.05
, one of the quickest ways to manually trace a raster image is
to use the
Draw Tool
and simply click/click/click around the image and then use the
Shape Tool
to
create curves and move nodes to more closely align with the original image.
Improving a cut: If you have problems with a particular location on a cut shape, examine the nodes in
that location. You may find a cluster of nodes or a sharp cusp. Delete those excess nodes, reform the
path, and then retest the cut.
Modifying poorly designed files:
Sometimes you will pick up free files that don’t quite cut the way you
expected. Examples are often fold-up templates where corners and fold lines do not quite meet.
Having the ability to move paths and nodes can correct these kinds of files and provide cleaner and
more professional end products.
