Hi!
I have a design and I need to change part of it a different color. It is one design, so in order to change the color do I have to break it apart? Because I'm using the design for a vinyl cutter would I then need bring things to the front and do the front minus back on it all again? I hope this makes sense, when you break a design apart it messes all the parts of it up esp for cutting.
I have never been able to figure out how to change just part of a design without breaking it apart.
Thanks,
Tracee
Hello Tracee; If you are just going to change the color in a singe line drawing you can use a interactive fill or you could use a mesh fill. It's not to hard in X6, but it's real easy in X7. You may want to try the 30 trial, but don't for get to back save any drawings to X6 before the 30 days are up.

Thank you George. If I use the interactive fill tool will it cut that twice because the black is still under it?
I have X6 because I also do Rhinestones, and 7 doesn't work with the macro I use for Rhinestones.
Thank you!
Tracee It doesn't cut the drawing it divides the the color as the screen shot below.
Are these vector objects or a bitmap?
If they are vector objects, then the easiest way to change the colour of one of the objects is change the colour of the object in the object manager.
First, try selecting the object. If the object manager shows that a group is selected, expand the [+] sign alongside the group and select the group objects one at a time until you see you have selected the correct one, and then you can change its colour.
Or, if there are a lot of objects the same colour to be changed, try the colour replacer (or better, one of the third party colour replacer macros) but that will only work if you want all objects of the colour changed in the same way.
Hi George,
Mind didn't come out like that. It came out with the black under the yellow still.
Very weird.
