Need a quick balanced rhinestone fill option? Check out the newest method I found for filling images in KNK Studio with circles. It involves using the Array function to create a pattern of horizontal lines through your image:
Move the image to the top of the lines. Select both the image and the line array and apply the AND Weld function:
Then another Make Path is applied, a circle added and the usual Transform>Fit Object to Path, results in the pink pattern shown at the top right of this post.
Other options are available. For example, I could have angled the lines or even made them vertical versus horizontal:
And this would have resulted in a different overall look as shown in the image in the middle. At this point, I could even borrow one part from image and combined it with another part from the other image, producing the fill pattern shown at the far right. As always… many options!
As usual, I have a video for those who want detail! Enjoy! Note that this method also works well filling letters.
You’re VERY welcome! 🙂
Great Thank you so much for your help you are awesome!!!
My apologies!!! I didn’t realize the 4th option wasn’t in Version 7 of GE. But no problem! You can download Version 8 and get that option. Go to the Support tab and then Software and then locate the folder for Version 8 of GE. PLEASE read the instruction file I wrote so that the download and installation go smoothly. But also feel free to email me privately if you have any problems.
Under fit object to path I have only three options. Number, Object spaciing starting point and Nodes.
Look for “Nodes and Distance” instead of “Rhinestone Spacing.” They are the EXACT same function… the programmers at CADLink just decided to “get cute” and change the name of it. 😛
After I do my last make path and select all to fit objects to path nodes and spacing or rhinestone spacing is not shown as an option.
Yes, it should work exactly like this in your GE. What part is not working?
Can this be done with my KNK GE software. I tried and noticed you were using KNK Studio Max on the video. I could not get mine to work. Is there an update for my software.
Thanks, Dude! 😛 😛 😛
dang cool stuff man.
