Framing Paths
5. You can correct these parameters if the splitting function is still active.
Proceed as described under Corrections (page 8-8).
Interior, Exterior or Centered Frames
You can draw a frame of any size around a path and then insert a color
or an image in it. You can also frame several paths at the same time. Depending
on the position of the frame relative to the original path, a frame
is referred to as interior, exterior or centered.
1. Activate the path(s) you want to frame (see page 8-1).
2. Do one of the following:
• Click or select PATHS | FRAME INNER & OUTER.
• Click or select PATHS | FRAME CENTERED.
3. If necessary, switch the overlap mode on or off (see page 8-11).
4. Specify the frame size by doing one of the following:
• Enter the value on the keyboard (direct input, see page 29-7).
If FRAME INNER & OUTER is used, positive values create exterior
frames and negative values create interior frames. However, this
may be vice versa with Combined Paths (page 33-1).
• Click the (left) mouse button, then move the mouse vertically.
The value corresponding to the cursor position is displayed on
the status bar. Click again when the value you want is reached.
Annotations
• Frames created by framing and coloring paths have no relation to
the framed layer. They are not automatically moved or scaled
together with the framed layer. To transform the layer and frame at
the same time, the two elements must be activated together.
• It is also possible to draw a frame around a layer. The advantage of
such frames is that they are modified automatically together with the
layer. For example, when the layer is scaled, the frame is automatically
scaled by the same degree. For more details refer to Framing
Layers (page 16-11).
• After framing the original path no longer exists. You can restore this
path by removing the frame.
