I am attempting to put a police patch or badge onto a thin blue line flag. I am currently using Vectric Pro. The issue I seem to be running into is with the vectors not joining/closing to flow the piece together so that when I do a pocket clear it goes around the patch.
I have been doing research and am not quite figuring out what I am missing. If you need more information please let me know.
Melissa, you will have to create a boundary around your text and image and then trim the flag lines using the boundary vector. I think this video will be very helpful how to this properly. Happy carving
Second, I think I figured it out. I welded the outside line of the St. Paul Police patch and then added another line over that. I am not sure that is the best way, but it seemed to work in the application.
I’ll have to see how it works on the machine soon!

When I do this, I use the layers in Vecrtic Pro to separate out all of the cuts… Make your first cut, then do a separate cut after that… and so on… this is how I do complicated end grain inlays as well…
