How to Create a Shape Cut Layer in Artwork
Some print providers require a black shape cut layer when fulfilling custom-shaped products. The Shape Cut feature in Persify helps you automatically generate a black image that adjusts based on your personalized choices. This saves you time when preparing shape cut files and processing orders.
How to Use the Shape Cut Feature
- Step 1: Select the layer or group you want to apply the shape cut to.
- Step 2: Press Control + B (on Windows) or Command + B (on Mac).
- Step 3: Move the shape cut layer to match the placement required by your fulfillment template.
After adding the shape cut layer, a black shape will appear. It will automatically change based on your personalized selections:
In the Layer Settings:
- You can view which layer or group the shape cut is linked to. It also shows the ID of the linked element.
- To delete a shape cut layer, click on the shape cut layer → Click the Remove this layer button
Or, right-click on the shape cut layer → Choose your desired action
