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.
Hi George,
Mind didn't come out like that. It came out with the black under the yellow still.
Very weird.

A screen shot below should show you how to get it done, just play with it. Take the color out of your object first.
Good Luck, GeorgePS: come back and ask as many questions as you want untill you get it the way you want.
Tracee said:When I try in the object manager, it selects the entire design. I can't ungroup it because it is one and there is no option to ungroup it.
How does the object manager describe the object? And what appears on the status line when you select it?
It says black curve. I can't select just the part I want to change colors. I have to select the entire design.
