What's New For SignMaster V5

Plugins & Modules

The Create Cut-Contour module now easily traces very huge and complicated images by creating an outline around effects, photos, objects, shapes, and text, among other things!

Transform colour or monochrome photos and graphics into cuttable artwork that, from a distance, resembles a photo!

Calculates the perimeter of a chosen vector object or piece of text. The length of the material (aluminium, plastic, metal, etc.) needed to create extruded letters or forms can be calculated with this tool.

Create your own QR codes that may be utilised for a variety of things, including a website connection.

The Rhinestone module enables you to design an outside path and/or fill a shape or text with a variety of fill styles (patterns) that can then be cut out and used as a stencil.

Enables you to change artwork so that the holes stay in place.

When generating a cutting contour, there is now an option to automatically build a clipping path around photos (allowing nesting of images with opaque backgrounds, obscuring the sections outside the cut line) so they can overlap and conserve material.

Drawing

With the help of an auto-join tool, create exactly horizontal and vertical lines, inclusive of any angle. Ideal for producing geometric patterns and fold lines.

Curve & Shaping Tools

Because the curve is entirely contained within the convex hull of its control points, bezier curves are simple to create and edit in real time. This implies that practically any shape may be easily created by manipulating the curve intuitively!

Import/Export/Publish

1. A fresh import Assigning cutting tools fast in PDF (such as Cut Contour, Fold Contours, etc.) and bringing in artwork in relation to the page it was developed on.

The ability to simultaneously drag & drop multiple image files into the design.
