Hi there,
I'm using CS on a macbook OSX 10.5.8
I need to make a wave pattern to be cut into vinyl to go on a window.
I just can't figure out how to do it! seems to be such a straight forward thing to do.
imagine a rectangle block with an even zig zag pattern in it horizontally- but with smooth curves- like waves. does that make sense?
Often I try to alter the shape and it still looks like a rectangle in the outline view. If I make a zig zag line it looks straight in outline view- which means a vinyl cutter would just cut a straight line.
I've tried doing it using envelope mesh but then you have loads of extra lines that would be cut into the vinyl too.
Can anyone help?
